I have 2 Purple Kush and 2 Grape Ape. I noticed on the Grape Ape's that the trich's are turning amber on the leafs with minimal amber on the buds themselves (mostly cloudy) . Is this normal? When the plant mature's do the trich's start turning amber on the leafs first then work there way to the bud? Also, are both these strains indica, indica dominant? Thanks, Any info is greatly appreciated!!
 
That's normal. I usually pull when all my glands are cloudy and I see the first sign of amber. When they turn amber the thc is degrading. When it's cloudy it's at it's peak. Take little samples off different sections of the plant and see. Keep in mind the glands will continue to ripen a little as the bud dries and cures. Some clear glands will turn cloudy and so forth.
 
I'd say the trich's are older on the leaves than the buds, ergo why they turn amber first, but you should see the milkies going amber on the buds here in the next few days :D
 
Thanks guys. I am planning on harvesting the main cola's tomorrow before the rain hits NorCal. I took a little last week and I was happy with it, a little harsh but Im thinking thats due to the quick dry. Are these strains indica??
 
Purple Kush is supposedly 100% Indica... (Hindu Kush x Purple Afghani)

And the Grape Ape is Indica dominant (Afghani x Skunk #1)
 
Well, Im happy with my first grow. One of the grape ape's main cola's came in at 83g's wet. Perfect time too, rain started today. It's amazing that with some reading and using this forum, my first grow was a total success, far more than what I was expecting. Now the hard part, drying and curing......... Thanks guys for your help/advice, I really appreciate it!!
 
very nice looking hunk of green bud....looks like you could of let it go a lil longer....hard to tell tho after its already been all trimmed up
 
Probably MH, it was about 25% amber with the rest being cloudy, and with the rain hitting my area yesterday I figured I might as well go for it. After 1 full day of drying, it went from 83g's to 57g's!!
 
Last night I rolled up a little pinner with some stuff I cut early and has been in a jar for about a week. I haven't smoked in almost a year, but damn, it had me baked!! Having not smoked in a while, some mexican brown bud probably would have gotten me baked too! All in all, happy with the way my first grow turned out. Looking forward to the mature stuff after its cured!
