Cannabis and Cayenne

Hello Everyone,

The Crack Mack cannabis plant is doing her thing and is now in the flush stage. (No longer receiving nutrient feed.)

I also noticed today that some of the cayenne peppers started ripening up. The cayenne pepper plant is growing right next to the Crack Mack.

Let's have a look.

It's really hard to wait until January third for harvest. I'm definitely going to harvest some about a week before that.

Harvest time Harvey knows I'm up to something but he's not quite sure what it is... He's still learning the basics of how things work around here...

I may have exaggerated just a little bit... It really wasn't that bad.

Ok playtime is over let's check out the Crack Mack.

These buds are big and thick now, with good density.

I'm not expecting the trichome coverage to become greater beyond this point. What I am expecting is the trichomes will continue on with the maturation process that has already started. These trichomes are big and milky now, and over the next few weeks some will start to turn an amber color. By the seventy day mark there should be close to fifty percent coverage of amber trichomes with milky trichomes.

Although I have always been a proponent to having a greater coverage of milky trichomes over amber trichomes, I think there may be exception with certain Sativa dominant varieties. The psychoactive effects of the Crack Mack are high, but something feels like it's missing when harvested earlier, and I suspect it is the effects that will be made present with a higher level of trichome degradation.
