The big day is here! 😎 Today, March 28th, 104 days (15 weeks) after germination, I have harvested my first indoor photoperiod plant. It has been an incredible challenge, especially managing it in the middle of a winter environment, but the results speak for themselves.
📏 Harvest Data (Wet Weight)
-Total Wet Weight: 56.5 grams (15.7g + 40.8g).
-Final Height: 40 cm of pure density.
-Status: Rock-hard buds and an impressive resin layer.
-Dry Estimate: I estimate that after water loss (60-70% less), the final dry weight will be between 14 and 17 grams, given how dense the buds are and the cold conditions we’ve faced.
🌡️ Process Summary
-Managing a grow with lows of 12°C for my first indoor photoperiod experience has been difficult. I am aware that a climate control system would have been ideal, but the budget is what it is 😆.
Despite the limitations, using lukewarm water for irrigation and controlling the lamp height were vital. This plant has been a great learning experience, and I am sure the next one will be much better, applying everything I’ve discovered during these 15 weeks.
Now, on to a slow and controlled dry so the flavor is as spectacular as its look!
I want to wrap up this diary by thanking everyone who has joined me during these 15 weeks. Your likes, and comments have been an extra motivation to pull this Critical through despite the cold challenges.
It has been an incredible learning journey, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my first indoor photoperiod plant. See you all very soon with the Cream Caramel and that Main-Lining I have planned!
Happy growing and happy smoking to everyone! 🌿💨
