So will i definately know when they start to turn amber. and should this be on all parts of the plant so should sample a certain section first. and im having new leaf growth at new bud sights is this normal

Hey Mr. Dank. Sounds like your grow is going great! I have a few questions... Were you selective when picking which seeds to plant, how many females did you end up with? How long did you veg for? What size were they when put them into flowering? Did you top/supercrop them at all? What kind of lights did you use through veg/flowering phase? Just want to compare to see what kind of yield/quality I could be looking at. I know their diffrent but who knows?

Loving every question on this thread!!! Thanks Midnight for being a couple of weeks ahead on similar circumstances of growth, and asking all those questions!!! They are definitely going to help me along with my own grow.... I can ask is that you do keep us posted on how your grow is going and maybe put pics up! we all wish you well!!!

Sik, we meet again, i'm the beer lover! Thanks for the help and the cool advice.... same thing goes to Mr. D!
I'll keep looking back even after Midnight is done with his grow!!

My timer recently broke, so I've been turning on/off lights by hand. Last night, I fell asleep and left lights on for 3 1/2 extra hours during 12/12 cycle. Will this effect the flowering phase? What should I do to get it back on track?

i'm in the same boat. my plants are 20 days flowering. do you have to have a magnifying glass to check the trichs? also, if you have leaves full of trichomes can they be smoked? i would think there is no sense in just throwing them out? but idk.

Midnight it will add a little stress to your plants but not enough to cause them to re-veg. Just make shure you get them back on the 12/12 cycle right away and try to not let it happen any more. Yes you really need a magnifying glass to really see if they are clear or cloudy,amber, or at least a camera capable of really good zoom and focus. You can pick up a cheap little magnifying scope from places like Radioshack where they use them to work on small electronics. The new leaf growth at the bud site is normal. I dont think i missed any questions.

If you dont have a magnifying glass you can use a good pair of binoculars but use them in reverse look through the end with larger lenses. My binoculars are 10 x 50 (91m at 1000m) they do the job for me.

good idea fungus never thought about that one.

Alright thanks guys. I'll drop by RadioShack and get 1.

midnight. no i wasnt selective on picking the seed. i just keep seeds from good shit that i come across i had acually only planted two one turned out to be a male and the other a female. i veged them both for about 4 weeks when they were about 8 in. tall and am currently in the 9th week of flower. never did top the plant kinda wished i would have since i was a first time grower i didnt want to mess shit up but now my plant is 4ft tall (shes a beaut) i vegged with 4 65 watt cfl and as i went into flower i popped in a 150 watt hps to her soem extra juice. i have been using the gh 3 part nute line(cant go wrong just floow as said on bottle) and when flower i added a bloom booster by gh called liquid koolbloom. helped out termendously. my buds are white and covered in crystals and justlast night before i went to bed i check the trichs again and wapow there amber and cloudy. so my beloved baby is taking the chop this morning. i have been doing a dwc grow easy thought all of this would be alot harder. i ll get back on here and try to put picks of the buds after i take her down. peace brothers.
