:bigjoint: I posted in my grow journal yesterday that whenever someone asks this question the answer is always 2 more weeks! I guess that I've got some time before I fuck everything up by going too amber.

....maybe it wouldn't hurt me to go a couple of more days and take another look at the trichs.

So, the ones with the most white hair are probably the least ready? Thanks, Hugo.

Just a bit of amber. I'm thinking of going dark tonight for 36 and then start cutting over a 2 day period. Everything is well flushed. I'm mostly surprised at the speed of the sativas. I'm going to check trichomes after 36 to decide on cutting order. Every once in a while though I think, most...

1st Grow, day 57 of flower, 3 indica dominant & 6 sativa dominant. I once dreamt of a a pound, now dream of half that. Trichomes averaging about 60% milky with at least a bit of amber on each plant. This is aimed at you experienced types who are good at judging by looking at the bud. I am...

Well that fast response is worth a Rep+! I'll be trying this out when I cut my first real harvest, this Wednesday and Thursday.

I believe that if I ran any pictures on most forums here asking if/when I'm ready to cut, the answer would be, "another couple of weeks", regardless of the picture. Because, that seems ALWAYS to be the answer!:dunce: Meanwhile, I have gone from the problem of trying to keep my basement grow...

I'm getting dizzy from studying images like this, trying to read the trichomes, in order to cut at the right moment. Of course, the bong hits haven't helped either. (I am confused as to whether I just smoked a bud of White Widow or Cotton Candy.) I've been mostly looking closest at the 3...

Noob inquiry: what's the procedure for removing the hash off the scissors and smoking it?

Sometimes I'm asked if I'm checking close enough for insects. Before I became a ganja farmer, I was a pro photographer, and have the equipment to get in nice and close.

On day 50 of flowering, I am , of course eager to cut my 3 indicas. Advertised times are 8-9 weeks on these. I know that is a rough guideline and it is the condition of the trichomes. My eagerness is not that I can't wait as much as being eager to finish them before they drop dead! First up is...

Hi, Ottawa. I pH'd my water...badly! I was bringing it down before adding the nutes and neglecting to check it after that. I was using a product I got from a grow store surprisingly called, "PH DOWN". I know there are plenty of tips in the forums using household products.

Grow #2 and #3 are underway. It's nice to be around healthy green plants where absolutely nothing has gone wrong yet.

Thanks shrig and FatMarty! I can use some reassurance right now. I just spent awhile checking the LSD buds under magnification. 30-40 % milky, I'd say. I worried that the whole plant was starting to rot and wondering how long I can hold out before I have to cut it. I'll keep waiting. When I...

Thanks for the definitive answer. +rep for you guys.

6 out of 6 germinating seeds popped this morning and the 4 in veg look great! This is how I deal with not getting too freaked out about the 1st grow fuck-ups. Get 'em better next time. I'm going to keep doing this over and over again as quickly as my grow space allows until I learn how to get it...

I flushed the 3 indicas 2 weeks ago with plain water, (pH was probably around 7). Mostly brown spotted yellow leaves continue to die. With the LSD, I'm even pulling off some dried up sugar leaves. The plants are ready for a watering today, so I will give them plain water adjusted to pH 6.5, and...

I've heard that about reg seeds also, scrap. I'll have to consider that as my confidence grows.

A few weeks ago I harvested a 1/2 z of Automatic AK from a free seed and have been quite pleased with the smoke. When I went to look for AK 47 seeds, the fems were out of stock, but they had regulars. I'd like a couple of more grows under my belt before I try regular, no fem seeds. To lessen the...

I've seen people post about this approach, and it certainly seems alluring, but that's down the road for me. I've been living in Maine the last couple of years but spent most of my time in New York City and was the farthest thing from a grower. Thanks to all the help I've gotten here, I remain...
