Sorry for the delay, but I had to deal with several unexpected issues. The main one was realizing that most of the trichomes on these plants had already turned amber.I was convinced they were still at an earlier stage because, in my previous run with the same Critical Orange Punch from the same seed batch, they matured later. This time, however, they seemed to finish much faster, and in my opinion the stress they experienced may have played a role.Because of that, I had to act quickly and harvest the plants without carrying out the usual flush. After looking into it more carefully, I found that flushing in this case does not seem to offer any real benefit, at least according to the scientific information I came across. From what I found, flushing does not seem to make a significant difference in the final outcome in terms of taste, smoothness, or overall quality. Drying and curing probably play a much bigger role, but I would really like to hear your opinion and experience on this as well.Another thing I noticed during the last week was a clear change in the aroma inside the tent. The smell became sweeter, deeper, and far more intense.I cannot say for sure whether that was directly linked to trichome maturity, but overall I am satisfied with the result so far, especially considering the setbacks along the way. As you can see from the photos, it was a very demanding week, and trimming all the plants in just a couple of days was a real challenge.That said, the buds look absolutely beautiful and very promising. Now it is just a matter of waiting another week or two before I can give you a proper update on the smoke quality.Happy growing, everyone.
