So these are my little Northern Lights Autos......they are about a foot and a bit under my 400w hps. Got a fan going over the plants all day. Didnt realy change much feed wise. Theyve been under the hps for 3.5 weeks no probs. Did the whole hand and skin heat test...everything. They are in a reasonably ventilated room....but no extraction yet. Temp is 27' celcius....humidity 40. What the hell is going on here?

And your getting close to harvest it looks like they are all milky white. I usually harvest once they have all turned a darker color more like a tan or beige color then I find the thc levels are perfect

Geez....thanks alot guys. Im trying. Thanks for those guidelines....will put them under some good light and look through the glass. Ive never seen real buds on plants before so Im pretty amped to cure and smoke. I think Im going to taste the effort I put in. My two photo Widows are also starting to look great. Wish I could have had these Autos on 20/4...think they would have been amazing. Building a new 6.5" x6.5" Saturday...setting up extraction and scrubbers. Going to try a bigger grow. Wish me luck

Yeah and Ive read the highs change with the colour of the trichomes. Hope I do it right. Would hate for it to be wrong
there is no wrong. the taste changes as a peach ages too. its just aging, degrading after its a solid milk. amber is degradation. not bad in any way, but its up to you between clear and amber ones-when to harvest. different tokes for different folks

Well said bud....well from what I've read in all this...and watched..(so many factors)...it seems the effect of the high, in a big way, depends on the stage your trichomes are in. But then you read how curing does similar...lost.....right there. Hehe
Well....Ive still got a ways to go....have to dry discretely somehow without the dank smell....and then cure. Ima give it a bash
