Sounds good. Thanks again for the analysis and the info on the book! Will try to post some results of the harvest after drying/curing as this is a curious case of a sativa seeming to mature extremely quickly (though it does have about 25% indica in the mix). Cheers.

Thanks for your diligence, K0ijn. I'm going to look for that book to try to learn more. In the meantime, what do you think about my original question? If I'm going to harvest individual bud sites as each becomes ready, should I be taking more into account the trichome color distribution of...

Great. I appreciate your skepticism, and will wait patiently.

Okay, I found some new insight regarding the apparently 3 different types of trichomes: capitate-stalked trichomes, bulbous trichomes & capitate-sessile trichomes. According to the article to which I credit a fellow of the moniker "Elephantman" at marijuanapassion.com, this is how each is...

Hi K0ijn, As one of the last to beg your valued advice on this wonderfully thorough thread, I am left with one question. You will recall my concern for a Shaman sativa in the Caribbean already showing some amber trichomes at only 6 weeks of flowering. I did find another thread regarding my...

That's exactly what I wanted to hear: I have to listen to what the plant tells me. It's science, but the conditions of the variables are what define one's results. Thank you again, K0ijn, and I will let you know the results after I make up my mind.

I'll be the 100th person to tell you thanks a million for this great thread, k0ijn, and I have read THE ENTIRE thing, so I don't think my question is going to be redundant. I am a first-time grower, but I've read the Cervantes and Riley books, and have been gratefully sucking up a ton of info...

That's a relief. Thanks for putting my mind at ease, MOJO!

Looks great, KrazyKat! I have a question regarding your comment, "after cutting your girls will be ugly...." I just FIMed for the first time last night, (my first ever grow) and noticed this morning that the area where I cut is now black. It's not spreading or anything--just right at the spot...

I would like to advise everyone to NOT buy the "rapitest" Digital Soil pH Meter which is available through wormsway.com and amazon. I made the mistake of purchasing one at wormsway for about 12 bucks. The meter consistently read 7.0, no matter what soil I stuck it in. Later than I should...

Thanks, kryptoniteglo, and everyone. Hey Johnbaked, this is what confuses me about cloning: you say that it's possible after it has five or six sets of leaves, but mine have all grown straight up with leaf sets exactly opposite each other, but no outgrowth from them. In other words, two...

Cool, thanks for the ideas and possible outcomes. I think I'm going to take one clone as an experiment, then take another (or a few) after harvest from the bottom, and finally, try to return the harvested plant to vegetative state once again. Found some really great posts here about that very...

Okay, so maybe that was too wordy, but no ideas from 185 viewers? I'll be less confusing: My Shaman is flowering after only one month of growing from seed, but I wanted to take clone cuttings from it. But I'm not supposed to take cuttings from a plant less than 2 months old, and it's best to...

Hello Elders, I followed the advice given of reading the Cervantes book before I started my very first grow. Even read relevant chapters of the Riley book and, of course, have been soaking in endless knowledge from all the posts here at the forum. I knew there would be mistakes I'd make, but...

Thank you very much, kamut. Great guidance and advice all around. I wish I had known the terms "topping" and "LST" which would have made my keyword searches more productive. I chose sativa seeds for the high I prefer, but that's valuable to know about indica. I will also check out the...

Hello and thanks for all of the information I've learned from these forums prior to registering just now. I'm waiting for seeds to arrive and I want to feel as prepared as possible for whatever problems might present themselves in this plan for my 1st grow. Here are my questions which I have...
