First 2022 Harvest

The initial five plant 2022 grow was potted on 12/10/2021. Because we were booked to visit the kids in Houston over the holidays I had to rely on friends to care for the plants during early vegetation. Early vegetation is critical for plant size and production. The plants did well until just before we returned to Tucson on 01/10/2022. They got a little dry at the end and the Gorilla Cookies plant was "stressed" enough to go to early flower. Because of that early "flower" it is ready to harvest much before the other plants. The other four plants, three White Window and one Wedding Cake, entered flowering on 02/10/2022 and should be ready to harvest last of March early April. While they are a little small, I expect when they are ready for harvest the amount of flower will be close to normal for indoor grown autoflower Cannabis.

In spite of the plant being small when all is harvested and dried there should be over 30g of flower. 

If you "click 'em to big 'em" you can see most of the Stigmas have turned brown and the Trichomes on the Buds and Sugar leaves are cloudy with some turning brown. You can tell from the thin Fan leaves this is a mostly Sativa plant. If Indica genetics were dominate the Fan Leaves would be much wider. BTW, this sucker is ready to harvest.

Once the plant is cut down today it will hang for a week or two to dry. after drying the buds will be cut and trimmed of extra leaves then placed in sealed "Mason" jars to cure. If smoking is the final use the buds will need several weeks of curing to develop taste and smoothness. For tinctures and eatables once dry the flower/bud is ready for decarboxylation to activate the THC so it is psychoactive and usable as an eatable.

Because Cannabis plants produce so much flower I will give the stems and "trim" to a friend who uses it to make very good Marijuana "Brownies" just like in the "old" days.
