Thank you for your most excellent suggestions :) I'm happy to report
that I followed them with very good results. This is Sativa - and not
quite ready, IMHO - a very small plant grown indoors in a southern
window; so I think waiting 2 weeks or so will be alright. It will
increase the size because this is not quite what I'm looking for as to
yield. I'll watch for about 50%% of the trichomes to darken and
hopefully get bigger - quite a lot are still translucent - and the
resin pods are scant. (I did pull the male).
I took two clones from her that are doing well - putting out new
growth - and I bought a light and a roll of Mylar.
Couple of questions: bigger fan leaves are starting to dry out - I'm
thinking that I should begin to cut those and let the plant's energy
go to the buds? And stop fertilizing?
I must say, it was quite good for such a little bit of a thing and
being dried in the dehydrator too - gave me the munchies :)
