Yeah my friend grew some blue dream and it came out pretty chronic but was week compared to the purple kush plants that shared the same 400 watt light in his grow tent. First grow and he got just under a pound off 7 plants.

I'm not sure at what point the buds lose a significant measure of their potency, but why not harvest the ripe buds and get to the others when they are ready? I do that on occasion with no ill effects.

Thats what I am gonna do, I was just wandering if it is possible to wait too long. I just figured that if I could just wait it might be better than flushing, partial harvest,light nutes, flushing, final harvest.

I think in answer to your question those do not look done at 60 days! Look at all the white hairs!

theres still fresh white pistils you could have let it go longer before any degradation would occur fireman

i am using one of those DIY co2 gen but i dont think its even comparable to what a tank would do.

I think the businessman was right my good man it's not always in the exact day when you start flowering...heat,humidity,root stress, overwatering, underwatering, nute burn ect.... these all can have delayed affects on the time you have to flower....it looked like (on the only pics you had up) that they were still plumping up...on top of that you and the place you got them from probably are using different nutes different medium and will make growth different....maybe they kept theirs at a lower ph who knows sorry it didnt work out for you though bro i know that can be frustrating i've had the same thing happen to me the first couple of grows......Keep Growin

the pics i put up are of some that are currently in 1212. i'll chop those in about a week depending on the trichs and what this subcool thread says when i read it a little later today.

but thanks man, it is a bit frustrating. this is the only other sativa i have grown. i've had better success with indicas.
the smell is comin out more and more the longer it stays jarred i notice.

Optimum potency of thc is reached when all trichomes are coudy.After that you're tweeking the kind of stone you want.Some degrading trichomes,are favorable.After a certain point the thc is losing its potency.

In regards to the flowering process, i assume that u are aware that your first day of flowering is not the first day u switch to the flower light schedule. You count the flowering days from the start of the first bud site forming.

Also just because u have the same strain as he does it doesn't mean that they were both grown under the same conditions. And if this is your first time with this strain the odds of you getting it 100% perfect are about the same as you getting 100% on your big science exam without studying.

I HIIIGHLY reccomend that you have a notebook filled with observations relating to your grow, temps, time lines, nutes ratios, ect ect...basically ur creating a text book for your own use whenever u feel like to understand this strain and how it responds to ur actions..

thats a good idea man thnks.
normally i get clones from my boys and talk with them about those particular strains so i've never even thought about doing this. but i think i will for certain now.

also i was not aware of when to start the count. i appreciate the information buddy!
