Multi Spectrum T5 Veg and Flower with Flood table and Tent-First Grow.

**Tee Five** · 07-21-2010, 04:48 PM

I guess the T5's slow down the whole process.

I checked how much time I have left at this thread http://www.rollitup.org/harvesting-curing/328642-want-know-if-your-plants-104.html#post4408523

I was told 14 days on the 17th.

Anyways here some pics--not much difference...just waiting on the trichs to turn caramel.

My clones are now 17 inches---which is actually a pain...I don`t want them too big.

I usually come down on the earlier side of harvest times from most of the folks around here, but I'd say you don't have more than a few more days to go on those. I'd say if you harvested this weekend, you'd be about right. Of course, I like mine to be a nice combination of the late-game couch lock and the early, more cerebral feeling. Regardless, they really look nice. +rep for seeing them through. Also, you can always trim your clones back a bit, before you put them into flower. You may end up with smaller buds, but they should be more numerous to make up the difference.

Im just wondering if you wait for the trichomes to turn brown? Or if you use a visual "que," as an indicator?

And you are only giving me rep now?
You bastard...you've been here for months-lol.

Hey Tee Five, good looking grow man! Those are some super frosty looking nugs, should be great smoke when its all cured.

I don't use trichome color that much anymore, as I know my strains pretty well. What I look for is browning hairs, the fullness of the buds and just the overall look of the plant. I combine that with my own knowledge of average flowering time for the strain in question. As long as you don't have an abundance of clear trichs, with most being either cloudy or dark, and you're around your average flowering time, I'd go ahead and harvest. Like I said, though, I like to harvest toward the later part of the middle of the ripeness window.

As for the +rep, I tried but it said I needed to spread the love to some others before I could give you more, so I guess I have already given you said rep.

Well of course i was kidding about the rep.

In truthfulness your presence has been far more beneifical than any rep. I thank you for sticking it out with me this long.

I appreciate it.

So check it out.

Remember when I broke a branch a couple of weeks ago--well I thought I`d put it through the Curing cycle. Which was hung for about 5 days (til I could `Snap`the branch) then I stored it for 3 days in a maisonary jar.

Well after what Ygrow and I were talking about I decided to take A hit...and yep I got stoned.

Mind you-I haven`t smoked anything since Feburary (basically when I started prep work for the grow)........... But I got High...and not just I little stoned--I got fairly ripped.

which is awesome.

So im going to flush with water ASAP. and harvest 3 days later. Then they will sit in the datk for a day and a half after that.

Then we harvest!!!!

so that`s the plan

PS-the pic of the bud drying turned out poorly--i tried to fix it...which was why I didn`t post it before But the weed in the jar was basically what I got from that branch. So it wasn`t touched at the time of the pic. Its only about 2 dimes.

Hey, not a problem, bro. I think you'll be happy with your results, harvesting early this week.

Also, FYI on cutting your clones back. I have a mentor who consults with me about all things grow, and he came over this last weekend. I had some plants that had been vegging for a couple of months, while they waited for my flower tent to finish the current crop. Well, these ladies had gotten bushy and big, about 2 feet tall, which is about a foot too tall for flowering in my tent. My buddy takes one look at them and goes, "Get me some clippers. Those have to be trimmed way back before they can go into flower." He then proceeds to cut almost all of the growth off until they were just little sticks, about 6 inches high. He told me to veg them for a few days, until they've recovered, and then put them into flower. I never would have trimmed them that drastically and it about made me sick to watch, but my buddy is the man, so I don't question him. The point is, if your plants have lots of healthy roots, you can trim them really drastically and they'll still come back from it. You just have to allow for some additional vegging time, in order for them to recover before you flower them. When you get ready to flower your next group, just cut them down to the desired height, veg a few more days and then flower those suckers. Works every time, as Billy D. Williams used to say.
