If all the trichs are cloudy and some are starting to turn amber that means the thc content in the trichromes is starting to degrade, if you want the couchlock high you want to let them ripen up a bit and get more amber. If you'd like a more uplifting, head high you want to harvest now while all the trichs are cloudy. It's really up to you at this point. THC content is peaking when the trichs turn cloudy though so keep that in mind. Also, watch for the calyxes to swell all the way down the plant. You can lose a lot of yield if you harvest early, the buds really pack on the weight in the last few weeks. Figured id throw that in since this IS a 1/2 lb goal. I'd go no less than 8 weeks. You want the hairs to start to recede back into the bud.

Wow del, nice to see you here. I'm thinking about embarking on a 12/12 quest myself in a few weeks. A friend of mine from another forum went the 12/12 route and had great results. I follow the 12/12 thread here regularly. Thanks

WOW. AMAZING. WHAT AN LST. THIS IS THE MONSTER THAT MAY PRODUCE ME THAT 1/2 POUND. ONLY TIME WILL TELL!

This Plant Is a Black Widow. I transplant her into a 5 gallon bucket 3 weeks ago preparing for flower. This plant is only under CFL's. Yeah I know amazing for stupid CFL's, I am using 2-150w 6500k. She soon will be under the 250w HPS. I have lost track of veg time. Lets see what my 250w does to this plant. I have a trimming to do at the top of plant before she goes into Flower. I would like an even Canopy. ITS A MOSTER

STAY TUNED!!

Hey Doggy! Just saw your thread. Your LST job is AMAZING! One of the best I have ever seen.

I hoping for your 8 oz's. Imo, you would have that no prob with a 400w. Even more with a 600!

You have so much surface area exposed to the light. Incredible job.

Here's my LST project. G13 Lab's Pineapple Express. Shes been veging for a little over 50 days now. Topped right above the second node and LST'd for 5 weeks. She's under a 400w HPS. Hopefully I can get atleast a quarter pound from this baby. What do you think? 1'1" tall and 1'8" wide.
