I chopped her down after 11 days of using swamp cooler after the A/C unit broke because on that 11th day I had planned to finish the week til harvesting but a storm was in the forecast and the humidity was gonna be up and the swamp cooler wasn't going to work so I felt that morning was the day. Good thing too cuz it was a very humid day and the swamp cooler wouldn't have worked as my plant had never been in that situation before it's whole life because before I could switch to A/C when too humid but not anymore so it seemed like fate that forces beyond my control decided for my plant to get chopped down that day within a day or two from a 12 week flowering. The plant is essentially white except for the shade leaves sticking out green from white stalks of white cloudy crystals, even the orange hairs seem to disappear among all the whiteness and it looks more covered in like cane sugar now making the crystal more noticeable and the plant way whiter then compared to earlier it looked like diamond crystals and where harder to see unless in the right light or angle. The plant really turned around that last week or so as it blew up in crystals and the purple was coming in more and more on the leaves, I'm assuming because the nutrients were being starved out. I don't really like seeing purple on my bud as I've always associated it with badness or nutrient deficient bud but that's just my personal preferences and I know has to do with genetics too. It was a lot more work than I had planned for to get that plant ready to hang to dry as the leaf cutting was endless and I don't even want to imagine to more detailed leaf cutting later before jarring it. I stopped cutting the leaves off as my area could be getting drier air soon and I watched a video saying if the air is too dry to leave on the leafs as it helps with a slower drying time and the video also said you don't want to bleed chlorophyll all over the buds too which I could see happening so I stopped. The plant doesn't give off too much of a smell unless I get right up to buds or I grab it, squeeze it, shake it up it blows up with a very pungent fruity smell, It's a weird good smell I haven't really ever smelled before like I want to say how some people like the smell of dirty shoes type thing, a good piney pungent smell mixed with a fruity Trix Cereal type aroma, an addicting smell, it's hard to describe, but once you take a bud in your fingers and rub it smells a stronger fruity weed smell. It's probably just the combination of fresh cut leaves with the buds mixing together and although it smells really good right now, it's just not a smoking bud smell more like a wet fruity cut flower smell. Can't wait until all the leaves are mostly removed and dry enough to start the curing process. Was worried I'd get that infamous "hay' smell like my first plant did but this plant has smelled good for months so I didn't know where the "hay' smell would have come from on this plant and don't know where it did that time either. I will post pictures after it's dry and I start to put it in jars to cure.

The Boomerang comeback formula was a toss up on when and why you use it. Be careful not to use too close to harvest because i believe it causes a lot of new growth to form and if your plant is far enough along mature wise then its obvious the new growth happens atop the older growth and pine cones up with a lot of new white hairs too, This again is just a guess and only seem to happen to the top of the plant that always lacked bud growth and had the plant really dense up but this still made me go probably a week longer then I wanted to with the harvest time as parts of the plant has more amber then I wanted to see. I also wonder how much amber develops after the harvest happens do some of the trichomes still turn amber after the harvest? Just curious as when I look now it has a little more amber not a lot but a noticeable difference from harvest time. I'm almost positive the Bembe is responsible for the fruity smell of the buds and the fruity sweet taste when smoked because I've had Gorilla Glue #4 from the local dispensary and that's actually where the seed that this plant was found from and it was a lot like mine in appearance but did not have the fruity smell or sweet taste just a piney earthy smell/taste and was really really good and one of my favorite strains, so I'm really happy mine turned out the same or maybe even better. I always thought Gorilla Glue was named after the tape because it was so sticky from always being covered in mass amounts of trichomes and would stick to any surface, just like how my weed does too hehe "nice", just like Gorilla Glue Tape promises, but nope it's named after getting you stuck to the couch "a couch lock effect" I guess not it's stickiness. Oh well got it wrong.

The moisture level was around 65% and will probably take a couple weeks to get to a premium smokeability but I know I'll be sampling it along the way and already have actually and had a real "head change", I was shocked because especially considering I smoke all day everyday and haven't had a real head change in ages, well I guess ever since getting weed from dispensary for the first time way back, this must be next level stuff I guess, geez, lol it's good rainbow rock candy/gorilla glue #4/Amy's Green Drop whatever Ive called it over these 20 something weeks.00

After reading the week description above and also saying I finally updated pics to include the different parts of the plant at different ripeness, I ask when should I harvest? If it's just the 4 pictures up there then I've been lazy to go out and take new pictures starting week 7

Yes I would agree with others you have around 4 weeks left if you want to take it to it’s full potential and terms of a mixed body and head highs. _______________________Definitley flush for the full 2 weeks in 2 steps. First water with the volume of the pot in Luke warm water (20c) drench the pot without too much run off. Wait 10 mins follow up with another load of water 1-2x volume of pot. IMO the water does not need to be PH adjusted when flushing soil.✌️🏻
