This week marks the long-awaited harvest of my 24K Gold. After several close trichome inspections, she finally reached the perfect window: mostly cloudy heads, with the first amber trichomes appearing on the upper buds. Perfect timing for maximum potency and terpene quality. ⸻ ⚖️ Yield (Wet Weight) 📦 773 g wet (confirmed on scale) This number includes the full plant with branches after a light wet trim. Final dry weight will be added after 10–14 days of drying + curing. ⸻ ✂️ Harvest Process • Removed fan leaves only • Performed a minimal wet trim to keep most trichomes intact • Entire plant cut at the base • Hung upside down on a full drying line • Goal: slow drying for best flavor ⸻ 🌬️ Drying Environment • Temperature: 18–19 °C • Humidity: 52–55% • Airflow: Soft and indirect • Estimated drying time: 10–14 days This setup should bring out the full citrus-diesel profile 24K Gold is known for. ⸻ 💎 Bud Quality & Aroma 24K Gold showed its signature traits strongly: • Extremely frosty buds with thick trichome layering • Long, twisted pistils turning orange/brown • Tight, medium-large bud structure • Sticky, resin-heavy trim work • Strong smell: orange zest × diesel × kush This pheno produced some of the frostiest buds of the whole run. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Behavior 24K Gold stayed healthy from start to finish: • No mold or late-flower issues • Responded very well to training • Thick branches, strong stretch • Zero nutrient sensitivity in late flower A very reliable and rewarding cultivar — definitely one to grow again.
