chopped 'em

Them some fat colas. What happened with them? Did you chop yet?

Love this thread.

Been a couple weeks since i updated. Not a lot has changed. Trichomes are getting milky, still no ambers. Seeds are mature and falling out here and there. Harvested one plant last week just for kicks. Got 6 huge grams off of it. 8)8-)8-)8-) Smoked some buds today. bongsmilie :confused:Smells and...

Plants so fruity, they grow bananas

They get all the dark they need after the chop.

Maybe a phosphorous deficiency if ph is 6.8 or higher.

My mantra: Brown, flush it down. Yellow, let it mellow.

They won't straighten out. But that doesn't mean you should remove them.

My main reason for proposing this method is actually to facilitate the drying of the buds. The soil and roots are a great moisture sink. (I am also completely making this up as i go, and these are just the musings of my mind.) :eyesmoke:

I look for all those characteristics, but honestly i've never had a grow where the plant stopped shooting out new pistils, or still had 40% clear trichomes, and various other things that clouded my judgment on when to harvest. If conditions are less than ideal, or the genetics are questionable...

You trim the leaves b4 they droop. As i said; Let them get almost dry, then trim, then continue allowing soil to dry, then chop and hang. (and, actually i forgot to add that after trimming all the leaves, you water one more time. (a flush, of sorts) So, it's: Almost dry, defoliate, water, total...

Nevermind flushing; The important thing is to let the plants get almost completely dry, trim all the leaves, then let them continue drying in the pot for 1 week. Then chop and hang.

Wish my first grow would have looked that nice. Good job in my opinion. Calyxes aren't swelling, but some strains don't swell too much.
