not sure when to cut down...

your menta get a wee magnifying glass
to examine the trichchomes the orange ness is dying hairs
and does not always represent maturity

you need to check the trich's should be a mix of cloudy and amber.

all the bottom popcorn nugs are nicely resinated but the main cola still doesn't have as much resin...the bottom ones are sticky and stinky to the touch

Great tutorial by fdd2blk

"we will start with ripeness. most people say to check your trichromes with 30X magnification. i have other ways. when buds are done they look "done". the appearance of the bud changes. the leaves start to hook upwards and become hard and crispy. the calyxes will swell and the hairs will turn brown. you can see a golden tinge to the bud leaves. this is the amber crystals. they start to turn amber on the leaves first."

ok kool but do all the buds have to be half cloudy/half amber cuz i'm pretty sure the bottom nugs are close but not the main nug...these plants are crazy i adopted them for a buddy that didn't want them anymore when i got them they were berly starting to show white hairs and they were 4 1/2 months its been almost 7 months and they're berly showing sings of being done...he screwed up and made them hit to veggetive states...

I harvest according to zeus's charts now no need for no magnafier of any kind..when your hairs turn dark and recide back into your bud and the bud itself has stopped packing on it's volume chop it like zeus says common sence can tell you when your bud is down...peace

here's a perfect pic of wat my main nug looks like but all the smaller popcorn nugs all the hairs have reseted and oranged

Hey pAn1c420, looks like you have the same wonderful delima i had, my lower popcorn buds actually finished before my main cola's and yes i chopped those babies off and hung them to dry only took 3 days.I put them into jars to cure and started smoking them 5 days later and the shit was off the hook good, dont be worried if they have knotted up and the hairs are receeded go for it let the other one's finish up while you tend to the lil ones...peace

cool...i was thinking of doing that but wasn't sure if it would shock or stress the plant by cutting off the bottom branches that are done...thanks stinkbudd1
