I appreciate your effort! What's +Rep mean, btw? I can step up on here?
I've been giving them Cha Ching and molasses, but in smaller amount. The buds seem to enjoy it. The lower leaves started to turn yellow, so I'm sure they are depleted with nitrogen, which is fine with me. I want to give them just enough P and K till a few days before harvest. I am so anxious to cut them, but I WILL wait till they are ripe. Just when I think their pistil formation stopped, they are shooting out pistils again every time I give them Cha Ching. When I lightly squeeze the bud, they are pretty dense, even the ones with foxtail. I really can't wait for the dry weigh in!

Ah, I've learned another new thing today!Good shit dude, I'm gonna try it as well after my flush when the time comes, long as your smoke report is ok.
+Rep is that little Sheriff Badge thing, you click it to add rep. The amount of rep you have are the green bars above your avatar.
Hopefully my smoke will taste decent. When I had to trim off a few branches with some popcorn buds two weeks ago, I just hang them upside down till bone dry. The smoke got me HIGH as shit, but it tasted minty, grassy, hay-like, etc, but no chemical taste or that absolutely ripe and heavenly aroma that you'd die for. That's when I realized the drying/curing phase could really ruin your outcome. I'm going to go for the fool-proof method of using a hygrometer and Boveda 65% HumidiPak (The kind of humidifier pack that dispensaries use to keep their buds nice and sticky within the curing range of humidity) in my curing jar, eliminating a guessing work.
This is the method by "Thai Buddha Man" from another forum. I really like his approach that he learned from working at a tobacco farm and curing tobacco leaves. I completely trust what he is saying.

Man that's a pretty good write-up. I might just have to give it a go with a plant or two.
Riiiight?? The best method I've found so far in this vast cyber space...

I think the harvest is near. I couldn't find any amber trichomes when I was directly looking through the loupe, but when I saw the pictures taken through the loupe, I think I see a few amber ones on the buds and 95% milky. The sativa is showing a slight foxtailing and it definitely adds the volume to it.

It's the HARVEST DAY!!!
This is the last group shot of my six plants first grow! They have been left in the dark for two days. Gosh, somehow I thought my first grow would end in the catastrophe. This is a huge milestone for me. I will do a little ceremony of chop chop (tears!) and will spend the whole afternoon trimming and hanging. Will post some more pics as I go. Thank you guys for your help and input so far!

OMG OMG!!! I must have spent over two hours trimming ONE out of the SIX plants... I did not realize how labor intensive this process was... Holy shit. So this is all from the smallest Dream Star plant I had. I have two more Dream Star and three Purple Kush to trim. I'm running to the corner liquor shop for a beer run before starting another pot... HOLY SHIT!Hell yea man, get some bud porn up here ASAP!

Thanks, man!! The max weight for my scale is 100g, but I'll figure out the way to weight it wet. Wish I had a cheap kitchen scale... I think I'll be up all night. My whole place smells incredible!
