Hello Everyone,
We're getting real close to harvest time now.
At least I think we are..
I'm of the mind to think these plants could be harvested right now, but I'm pushing them a bit longer.
The plant on the left "Fat Girl" I think is peaking with ripeness and should be taken down within 7 days.
I read by @wildwesthash:
I also give the plant 48 hours of darkness before hacking. Terpenes build up at night and exhaust during the day. Giving it 48 hours of darkness not only helps stack the terpenes in the final push but it also helps ramp up resin production towards the end. Basically, leave it in the dark until you are ready to harvest. -source
And I'm going to give this method a try...
That means I probably will cease watering in about three days and go to full dark for 48 hours. (For Fat Girl at least.)
Shybrid has pretty much caught up to Fat Girl in terms of bud size. She's still a little smaller but is packing some respectable nugs now.
She must have been jealous of Fat Girl's plumpness so she started fattening up herself, and is leaning a bit more than I like.
A little string tie down and she's happy as can be. Now I can really focus the small lamp on those maturing nuggets.

We can see Fat Girl is very mature, as the trichomes are nice and milky and at maximum potency at this stage.

Shybrid is not so shy anymore...
She's close to maximum maturity as well, and my guess has it that the Shybrid will actually be the more potent of these two, in terms of psychoactive properties.
At this point, I will be happy no matter how they turn out, as they already are a success in my opinion.
What do you all think? Are we real close to chop time?
That will do it for this indoor cannabis garden update.
Your time is a valuable commodity, and I always keep this in mind and do my best to respond to everyone. I appreciate all of the great engagement and support, thank you!
Thank you for stopping by, have a great day! -@futuremind
