hi every one
so im coming near the end of my first grow it was a bagseed planted in regular potting soil from my parents shed it's sat in an old caravan in the middle of a feild in the UK it has so far survived frost on several ocasions now we just had 3 inches of snow and its still going strong one of the lower leaves had turned a little yellowish in colour so i just chopped it off before it caused any hassle. It's been flowering for around 10 weeks now and it still only has little buds about the size of a quater if your in america or a 10p in the uk the trichomes are all still clear and the pestils are a deep red to browish colour i was wondering if the buds arn't growing as large because of the plants relatively hard life ie fighting for survival rather than growing me some nice bud.
i mean i dont even know if this is how it goes like the buds will grow real small untill the last couple of weeks of flowering then all of a sudden grow in size

the leaves of the plant seem indica satavia cross a little more satavia than indica i would say but im by no means an expert.

thanks for looking hope you can help.

and sorry no pics i int got a camera atm

is it indoors now? are you flowering it with the proper light spectrum? if your using CFL's are they close enough? there is a few factors ;p

What are you talking about cannabox. That whole thread was him telling about how his plant is outside in the cold.

Throw a black garbage bag over it at night man if its chillen in the snow its for sure getting stressed. I dont know how much more growth you'll see you could try finishin it up inide

hi thanks for the post

i'm afraid no can do the sole reason its down the feild in a caravan is to keep a low profile from my parents who don't even know i smoke it lolol will the trichomes still turn browish colour even though the growth has been stunted by the harsh weather?

personally i judge cop time by pistil color or tric development. the tric's may be clear but with the pistils at a deep red to brown color your plants way over mature, cut it before its not smokeable.

I think your confusing trichomes with pistols. Trichomes are the crystals all over the bud you need a microscope to get a good look at em. If you could get out there today and snap a pic maybe we could see how far along it is

Artic Weed? I 've heard about everything now G'Luck on the grow.

the "hairs" on the bud which i was refering to as pestils are brown but i herd that that was not a good indicator of ripeness i have a microscope (high power sight off my rifle , ) and can see the crystals with that which i was refering to as trichomes i might be confused with the terms im not sure. But the crystals covering the buds and surrounding leaves are all still clear some are goin cloudy i thought they all had to be cloudy and around 10% starting to turn brownish clour??

never go by pistil colour when harvesting they tell you allmost nothing , ive had pistils turn completely brown just 3 weeks into flowering a (mostly sativa) plant .
