Is it just me... or am I the only person and grower who has a sense of loss... a feeling of being maudlin and even a few moments when tears well up in my eyes at the time of harvest?
Maybe I am too attached to my plants. Maybe I am too emotional knowing all the hard work, endless hours of pampering, mixing nutrients to the perfect pH balance or even the realization that these girls will be gone in about 24 hours.
It just saddens me...
I spent the last four to five months cloning... watering and feeding... checking the humidity levels and temperatures repeatedly every hour. I made sure the coco coir soil was just the right amount of moisture needed. I made sure the oscillating fan was being fair and making all the girls dance and get their exercise. I even invested in new grow tent and lights. ALL for my girls! And now they will be leaving...
Sigh... It's all coming to an end...
I have to admit that this is by far the best crop I have grown to date; and considering this is only my fourth crop, I can only imagine what the future holds for me.
I am constantly snapping pictures and sending them to Mr Golden D at work; as some of his co-workers are always asking how things are going. And one of the guys stopped over here twice in the last two weeks to see my set-up, check on the growth and crop and even asked me if I would grow his or for him. Now... either the guy works too much and has little time to devote to growing.. or (and this is the one my ego is hoping for) he likes what he sees in my plants! While I haven't decided yet if I will or not grow his plants... it does give my self esteem quite a boost.

What Percent Amber Trichomes
do you have today? :) I prefer between 5% and 15% amber trichomes for ripe cannabis. :) Count 20 trichomes on a few different spots on your flowers to get an average count. (Not sugar leaves, they have more amber than flowers)
1 amber trichome in 20 is 5% amber. 2 in 20 is 10% amber and 3 is 15%. Less than 5% and the cannabis effect is shortened, sometimes down to 30 minutes. Over 15% and a lot of strains start to get sleepy, requiring me to add caffeine to my diet to stay awake.
Happy Trimming! :D
howdy @goldendawne! it's just you. lol. I like bringing in the harest because it gives me a sense of accomplishment for all the hard work of the growing season.
Hey in the list of care-taking actions you forgot "talking " to the plants. in fact you probably even SANG to them! lol. here's to the world's healthiest plants! great job.
I'm afraid if I were to sing to them that they would cower away!
Maybe I should out a radio in there or something... hmmm... which genre of music is the question- lol
lol! cower away! I've read several times that classical music makes plants thrive, they love it. something about the waves and particles are healthy or something, there you go, a great post talking about that, if you find out that it's true and I think it is!
I have a sense of accomplishment at harvest time, but with "regular" vegetables or anything that needs pulling out at the end of the season...that makes me sad!
Yours do look beautiful by the way!! and I talk to my plants all of the time. I see them as living beings :)
