got any new macro shots?

ou'll always get some new trichs. 50% cloudy/50% amber is good for me & most but the more amber the trichs get, the more couch lock you'll get from the smoke. Amber is best for sleep and cloudy for when you're awake to energize you.

i have to say this is not done.. green and white pistils are still emerging from the bracts

i would think it be atleast like 15-20% amber by now?

thats some nice looking bud to be bagseed.. Bet it will be yummy.

i know, thats what i thought chi! idk, its like they havent changed at all in a week.... but someone sayed that thc degrades more during drying and curing.. is that true? or proven? i still plan on harvesting thurs or friday, cuz the soil is still a lil moist, but would it not be good to harvest if there are still a few white hairs? theyre just poppin up where the buds are dreadlockin... id say over 80% of the hairs are amber. how much more growth will i get flushing, and would it make that much of a difference in how potent it is?

just wondering.. how many CFL's and what watts did you use? (being a cfl grower my self)

i used 4 26w 6500k cfls for veg. But for flowering i used 6 40w 2700k and 2 26w 6500k..

I love #5 from the first batch of pics.. Great Job! My first grow was bagseed (as most usually are I guess) and she turned out stupendous! My brother nicknamed the mystery bud 'Monster Munch'. Whatever it was would be great for chemo patients.. crazy ravenous hunger.. too bad I don't know what it really was..

Sorry.. ramblin..

Chop when your ready, my friend. You know her better than anybody..

got another question... being as small as my plant is.. do you think it would be worth it to try to make hash out of the trimmings??

wait another week and the flavor and smell will be stronger. and it looks like the ph is just alittle of. the more amber the better, atleast 50% amber.

youre outer leaves arent carrying much in trichomes so i would say no on the hash. i might be more trouble than its worth, unless u just wanna learning exsperience.

nah, im a quick learner.. id rather do it when its not gonna be a waste of my time.. thanx for the reply tho! and yea i just tested the run-off 2 days ago and the ph was at 6.. it should be around 6.5-7.0 right?? so n e way, i watered with ph'd water and figured since im gonna be harvesting soon, i wouldnt worry about it too much... sound good to you?

u can goto radioshack and pick up a 30x microscope for under 15-20 bucks, then look that the trichomes..
Depending on how u like ur weed
stage 1- all clear = not ready to harvest
stage 2- mostly milky,some amber = cerebral high (Peak THC Content)
stage 3- Mostly amber,some milky = more of a heavy high/body buzz
just pick when ur bud is at ur preference..

I personally like the upper high, (stage 2 doesn't make me glue myself to the couch.)

If your gonna sell it, then i would wait till stage 3, cause the buds will weigh more.

more updated pics.. fire away and tell me what you think... i still think im good to harvest on thurs.. i wanna try the 48 hr dark period at the end of harvest for the hell of it... got nuthin to lose.. not worried about mold, my closet stays at about 70-75 at night.. ive also got decent air circulation and i dont plan on watering again... any comments or compliments welcome!

not sellin it.. just smokin it... and i believe there are pics of my trichs earlier in the thread.. check em out!! my lower buds are probly in the 20% amber area.... and i found out the reason i was getting so many milky trichs still was because i was clipping tiny pieces off the new growth like an idiot.. so n e way ill be postin pics of the trics later too.. just dont feel like fuckin w/ it right now.. : ) thanx for checkin out my pics everyone!!

bump... look at page ones pics compared to today pics!! what do you guys think???

Hey socomp

It's been a week exactly since the first batch of pics right? She look like she is maturing nicely. A lot more pistils have browned, but maybe a few more days? This looks some good bud and it'll surely be worth the wait

thanx for your input! id like to have a few more opinions on when its ready!! n e one feel free to comment!!
