Looking great! You have some beautiful plants.

Really? I've got the same thing going on with my plants and they are not pollinated. I'm not growing for the first time, but I'm growing from absolute start to absolute finish for the first time and I've never seen buds ripen and hairs shriveling up at the same time. In fact most sites say...

I'm growing a strain called big bud xxl and what I have noticed so far is the the hairs (pistols) seem to change color and shrivel up long before the trichomes seem to be ready. About 6 weeks or so into flowering the hairs changed color, shriveled up and the calyx started beefing up nicely and...

I know that photo is something of a standard for trichome ID but it is still quite hard to see a decisive difference between clear and cloudy according to pics 1 and 2 AND the first pic seems to have a amber head. What gives?

Hmm, why do you suppose the pistols dry up outdoors? My other plants are about two weeks behind the plant in question above and they all still have white pistols and are slowly starting to go red and I assume will shrivel up as it starts developing weightier more dense bud growth. I'm growing...

I'm just gonna repeat what the others have already said: wait! Also, get the microcope one of the members mentioned aboved - 30x or greater, not expensive either. Then, read up on what you should be looking for regarding trichome color. It isn't necessarily easy getting familiar with what to...

Cool, but even the organic can leave a nasty taste later. Still, I reckon your buddy has more experience with this than me. Good luck and let us know how it worked out!

I'd be careful with any chemicals at this stage of the game. you said they are flowering. it's advised not to use any pesticides when it's already begun.

Do you have the option to completely rinse the plant in water? Spider mites don't take well to complete wet. I had the problem, though not into flowering, and gave the underside and topside of the plant a good spray down and it took care of it. I did this after a light chemical treatment...

Below is a link to a section on the forum that may have gone stagnant for the time being, so I'm reposting in hopes of attracting some other viewers. https://www.rollitup.org/harvesting-curing/328642-want-know-if-your-plants-716.html#post6341199

What happened to the person who started the forum???

You should buy a small pocket microscope. One that has at least 30x magnification. Inspect the trichomes for three main characteristics: clearness, cloudiness and amber tips. You want the trichomes to be a percentage mixture of all three. BUT there are varying views on what that mix should...

It looks like it could use a week or two more.

Hello. So, I've got an Indica/Sativa hybrid here. The trichomes look near ready - nice mix of cloudy and clear and a few amber. About two weeks ago it started forming calyx and the hairs (there were lots of white hairs) sort of disappeared or got overtaken by these calyx. I was expecting a...

Thanks for the feedback.

I don't know if I'm just not experienced (read: newbie) with what this big bud xxl strain can look like late into its flower stage, but I'm 6 weeks into flowering and it seems that this girl is starting to produce seed pods. I'm not sure if it is just a late maturing and swollen up calyx and...

1. Flying saucers make great walls of privacy. 2. Pushed the photo light routine in late July, started flowering in early August, nearly one month before one from the same strain started flowering as nature, I guess, had intended... 3. Glasshouse, scrog experiment. You can see a stringy...

Interesting idea. I think hidden pulleys could be used to raise the plants but there couldn't be any branches that get in its way going up and down and with respect to how big the plant could grow. You'd have to water it completely as it'd be in pots, not in the earth. Seems complicated but...

I've got some outdoor plants two weeks into solid bud growth. When I examined closely (with a magnifying glass) I found some dark brown egg/shit little balls and figured something like a worm was probably in there wreaking havoc. Sure enough, found little maggot looking larvae/worms chewing...

You could line the floor with something to keep the bugs out or just bend some of the plants over a bit. I might cut down on the size of the top colas but at least you've avoided the height issue. I had the same issue with my make-shift greenhouse, so I dug a few feet down - didn't bother...
