I watered her for the last time last night and removed the run-off after about a half-hour. I removed the run-off because the past two weeks, she has had her moments of taking an extra day to dry the soil. Hopefully, she'll dry out her soil by either tomorrow so i can chop her down. If not then either way she will come down Sunday night at the latest. Note to self: take before and after pictures. The trichomes have become cloudy so i guestimated to give her the extra days to develop all around (actually i was too lazy to do anything but water)

have a nice weekend,

I did warn everyone it was a hard read

it's not really hard reading. What makes it difficult is when the writing is citing sources. That's where i get lost. But i found out that the non-glandular trichomes are used for defense against bugs, dust, etc...I also found out that when checking trichomes it's good to get different angles instead of just an overhead. I ended up missing the glandular trichomes on the cola mistaking them for the non-glandular trichomes. I just had of moment of feeling intelligent.

Since Saturday, she has shrunk, smells grassy, and appears to be not dense. Will the grassy smell go away when i cure? and is there a chance that the buds will firm up?

thank you

looks great kaili, congrats on the harvest!

After going over my log there are some things i will do differently on my next grow. Some of the things i'll do is not worry abot how many days of flowering i'm in, just go by trichomes. If i continue to use my current box, i'll suppercropp as oppose to LST--height control may be easier to control as i found on my Top44. I may even try to veg regularly and take a whole bunch of clones to set up a SOG.

I didn't harvest the whole Citral plant. The branch i left is still getting trichome development and i'm waiting to see some bananas. If and when it does produce bananas i'll leave it to see if the Top44 will take and produce some seeds. umm...i had a whole bunch more to post, but we know how it goes.

I haven't update my conclusion as of yet, but the Citral lives on! Since i left a branch, it has gained two more nodes and looks, smells, feels, and overall appears better than the plant that was harvested. This means one thing...i harvested way to early.
I also wont be using the time release fertilizer unless it's for a mother plant. That attributed to the very leafy appearance.
I'll try to throw some pictures later.

Not nessacarily did you harvest early. I found that if I harvested by the trichs, and only cut the buds I saw where ready, then they did keep flowering. I got second and third cuts off many of my plants, inside and out. If I had had the sunshine I am sure my outside girls would of yeilded me a lot more.
