Have a few varieties in my farm right now. All from clone transplanted outside on the last week of May.

Hindu Kush + Skunk. I think these girls have been flowering since early August. They look so ripe right now but patience my Son...patience.

One of my favorites, but I have never really had any luck with it outdoors. I use Greenhouse Seeds and for indoors in my Coco that Super Silver Haze will blow your head straight the fuck off....some serious killer shit!!!

P.S. You should try Arjan's Ultra Haze #1 or the Sweet Tooth from Green House.....seriously insane killer bud!

Looks Great! I'd say your lil over half way there, 1st/2nd week of Oct you'll be harvesting. Start flushing when you start seeing red/orange hairs. Great Job!

Head Band. As with the SSH I think these are also a few weeks behind my Indica girls.

The hen house. Other girls not pictured are OG Kush and GDP. As you can tell I like my Indicas.

As a first time outdoor farmer that just got back in the game after a 20+ year hiatus some of the challenges I ran into this season were:

- growing so many different strains it was a challenge to find a balance in nutrient feedings that was good for all the girls. Thankfully soil is quite forgiving and of course, RIU was an immense source of information.

- Pests...actually aphids and mites. Had a 3~4 week period of warm/hot and dry weather and these buggers came out in force. Thanks again to RIU for helping me!

- So much more scientific information available now it makes one head spin (even before ). Technology is a wonderful thing.

- Excercising patience. This is the hardest one. But I know what rewards I will reap for my patience so that helps.

K' den Braddahz and Sistahz.

I know what you mean, I'm back growing after a dozen years or so off, it's amazing what a guy forgets in that amount of time.

I love fat girls!!! The hens are starting fill up and the aroma...brah....broke da' mouth delicious. Here are some update pics...

You'll notice the white specs on the leaves....that was from an accidental exploding bottle of ph down that happened a few weeks ago. On the SSH you'll notice the yellow leaves...that issue being discussed in this thread.

Tanks Buster! The trics are basically 50/40/10 ...clear/cloudy/amber. I'm going to wait them out till the first week of Oct. the earliest!! ...at least the Hindu Kush+Skunk. The hybrids I'm going to start monitoring everyday or so after HK+S goes down. SSH probably Novemberish.

it's actually start flushing when you start seeing amber trichomes . . . . . . I've seen even plants 5-6 weeks into flowering start having orange hairs, so if you cut them off based on that, you're going to have a terrible experience.

I am in week 3 of flowering and I only have orange hairs on one of my 3 plants. How do you know when the best time to pull is ? I every year the fucking caterpillars get my shit.
My friend said pull when 75% of the hairs are orange. Does that sound rite?
