Plant 1 and plant 2 (pic from second post) still look fairly clear.
plant 3 looks mostly cloudy to me..
but I have old eyes.
I’d say harvest as soon as you start to see traces of amber.
My go to for determining readiness has always been looking at the trichromes - once they become predominantly milky/cloudy in appearance generally means she‘s ready.
Get a jewellers loupe and take a tiny piece off the bud to look at closely. If trichromes are clear then wait a bit longer.
Ya, bud sits on the grate and covered with a clear bowl top that has a crank and spins dual blades below the grate..
I don’t recall the particular brand..
always touch to see a nice plant get damaged.. happened more times than I can count.
good fencing/support routine goes a long way.
good luck the rest of the way!
Unless a bunch of the prospects they’ve gotten turn into gems.. Vladdy and Bo are both inconsistent and unreliable.. but ya, 2025 not looking good..
front office for the bjs sucks…..
I’d opt for the Northern Lights - I’m a sucker for the classics.
“Aurora Borealis! at this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely in your kitchen!?”
“yes”
“May I see it”
“…No”
Big thanks for the opportunity!
