start of week 8 and i robbed a nug last night!

okay here we go i have adhd/ocd/ied. Smoking usually make me intense hyperactive. i rob a bottom nug two days ago and dried it with a blower dryer. it was not any more than an eight of a bowl in my water pipe and gave me the most intense body high i have ever had. My brain wasn't rushing around like it usually does. it was a peaceful calm body high. when i would stand up i felt like i was standing up but i was leaning way backwards. it was intense. does this mean the are done. as far as i could see with a loupe the tric are clear i think. I haven't posted any pics since week 5. I trimmed off some obsolete fan leaves last night hoping that it will help with light penetration and supply the buds with more nutes. growing cfls and the buds are rock hard. what do you think. comments will be greatly appreciated. hope to post pics soon

keep in mind this was the first time i have smoked since starting this grow in august

Nice! 8 weeks is a decent time to pick any strain. it all depends on the high you like. what kind of strain is it??

pick it earlier and itll give you the more awake but really head high

a little later and itll give you a mix of awake but physically a little slow

and pick it the latest (9+ weeks) will give you a couch locked high that wont let you do anything.

its nice once youve harvest a strain a few times cause you can narrow it down to an exact day you like to harvest plus or minus 1 day maybe.

but if you like that high than pick it in a few days. make sure its after the 12 hours of dark too!

good luck and post some pics of the harvest.

The trichs being clear should give you the head high you felt.
If you wait a bit more, until they turn cloudy, it will be a little stronger (more ripe), but if you wait until you see some amber, then you will get more of the sleepy high.
Read up on harvesting.
Then, read up on curing, so you will have some idea of how to correctly do that, and don't have to wait for a last minute answer from somebody.

okay thank you guys i thing ill wait a week or so to give a good locked high

I have heard of people shutting their lights off for two days before harvesting is this right and what are the pro/cons thank you

i do that every time i harvest. 3 days before i plan to chop i kill the lights. give em a bunch of water the night before and then come back after 3 days

i cant factually say it does anything but it doesnt hurt. and if the theory is correct than it does work

supposedly UV rays break down THC during the day via sun or bulb and at night the plant rebuilds it THC

so the theory is if you make that dark cycle longer on the last day or 2 then the plant will be stuck in "refill THC mode" and keep packing it in until it reaches capacity

for me it never hurts. 3 days of not doing anything to the plants is fine with me. just make sure you keep your fans running constantly because it will get humid in there.

okay that was very helpful thank you for the post

What is "ied"? With all those acronyms you suffer from be thankful that you don't have VD.
(Unless ied IS a form of VD, in which case I apologize for joking about it.)

This is a form of Stress maturing. I 100% agree with this strategy. I build a mini darkness room that i throw over every plant a couple days before i harvest. Vented but light proof tent that fits over 1 plant.

what if i killed the light for a week? to much? Checked last night and i had probably 60% cloudy and 40% clear the end is coming. even when the trics were clear this stuff glued me to the couch, and i sure as hell couldnt talk

yeah a week is way too long

a good chance to develop mold

3 days is the max i will and its mostly because i check on em every 3 days. so it works out.

okay thank you
