Do you think there done? 12.2 mp cam close up shot...

very nice pictures bro. you can see the visible trichs are still clear or cloudy. you dont need a scope to see that. just look at the resin's color, when they start to turn gold, cut them free. If you pick too soon, you will have a soaring high. too late and you are gonna be on the coach watching your favorite movie. the resin is decarboxilizing, meaning your cannibinoids are breaking down and converting. too early and you end up with lots of cbd, cbn, and not lots of thc. that shit still fucks wit ya, just in a different, less desirable manner. i'm thinking a couple more weeks, you dont have to harvest all at once. when the buds mature you can cut them off. they usually mature faster at the top. cut off the tops and let the bottom buds go a little longer. you'll have a perpetual supply of smoke for awhile. really nice looking nugs for rocking the cfl's. i'm quite impressed. +rep 4 you. If your not sure when to cut, just throw up some fotos next weekend, and we will all throw in our 2 cents.

yeah im lookin to keep flowering for 2-3 weeks

but ill be posting pics every couple of days.

I'm color blind also...
that doesn't help anything haha

Yeah i finally broke down and bought a scope $13
i could see the trics all clear but have some fat heads

from ur last pics looks like it cood go another 3wks. lots of fresh pistols and bud formation

yeah i have noticed they are not getting much taller but there are a lot of new hairs poppin up

its a sativa by the looks of it and it definitely still has at least 3 weeks to go. the hairs are still white and havnt retracted back in yet. keep that thing going and do what everyone else says. only way to know for sure is to look at them knobby heads. the trichs tell you everything you need to know. i have that exact microscope in the picture and it works great $13 get one!

yeah i bought that same one today from radio shack

stativa huh? interesting i had no idea

im looking for more of an uplifting high so im going to cut earlier that most would like 50% amber trichs some still cloudy (is that right?)

Lookin good buddy!!!

lots of new growth there, might be a longer flowering mystery strain you have--- hold out! i forsee lots of fattening up need me done... Not to mention a KILLER 1st harvest!! +rep

i hate to be repititious, but def go for the handheld microscope 2 peep trichs-- worth every penny and a sweet ass grown up "toy" lol

lol apparently i had another page to read lmao

happy growing

Yeah Thanks, I am so curious what i might harvest dry, i'm not greedy by any means so it will be good either way, a lot or a little..

i plan on curing it for a month or so..

what is with people putting the lights to full darkness 48 hours before they harvest??

thats cux ther caught up in the hype that if u give plants prolonged period of darkness they will produce more tricomes and git more potent b4 harvest

rhcp you want to have 50% clear and 50% cloudy for uplifting..50% cloudy for a mix and 50% cloudy and 50% amber is getting more of a couchlock stone in my opinion. and def give it 48 hours of darkness before you chop to pack on more trichs

so i have two plants in there and one is going to be done before the other.. i dont have much room in my room as im growing out of my closet.
Any ideas on where i could put the plant for 48 hours, in complete darkness?
also for drying the buds im clueless where i could hang them.. i have space above my grow box but its not that stealthy and a lot of light leaks out..

do you need complete darkness for drying the buds?
any ideas?

if the average plant takes anywhere from 8 to 20 weeks to flower
how many more trichomes will develop,
go from clear, to at least cloudy in
48 hours of darkness?
When it looks ready, chop.

thats the point i was tryin to git him to understand. that prolonged darkness aint nuttin but bullshit and urban legend

yeah i read a thread on darkness before you chop it really doesnt make much sense to give it darkness before you chop..

im not gunna

Nice clear pics...good luck with your girls

Darkness before harvest has only really been show to affect certain 'white' strains, for most other strains it probably doesn't do much except make suck a little more life out of the leafs.
