Tangerine Dream Auto - Did she start flowering too soon?

I'm finishing up a Tangerine Dream from Growers Choice. She was a vigorous grower and scrogged nicely. I've got one more bean of TD and Norther Lights from GC, and then I'm moving to WW Auto and Northern Lights Auto from Seedsman. From my popcorn samples the TD seems like good stuff.

I'm waiting until she ambers up a bit. I'm in the 12th week from seed and she still is clear today. I've got cheap lights so I'm not sure if that is a problem or not. Yours looks like she's a few weeks away, but what do I know?

I just started week 9 from seed....so I am thinking I may wait until I get back from FL. Maybe start flushing?

I just puff tested my first trial bud and I think you will be pleased with Tangerine Dream. Smooth and a good high. I'm happy waiting a few more days to see if the trich's do amber up.

I'm back!!! How are you? Anyways...they are harvested and I did try a microwave dry -smoke. I'm not sure if I did it correctly, but I'm not 100% it got me medicated. (Because I was medicated when I tried it...lolol). I'm going to let them dry and then I'm gonna go through the curing process. Wish me luck!

I'm slowly chopping my TD. It's starting to amber on some buds, drying an a paper bag for 2-3 days then into jars. 18 weeks from germination!

I should have waited on all of them. However, you were right! What a delightful smoke!!! This is one of my new babies...she is beautiful

In sampling the various "cuts" I think I should have waited, as the 19th week was the best. This may have been that it was also the top most buds of the plant. Since I used a scrog net they were all on the same light plane, so not due to light variations.
Still the 17th week is not too bad. light fluffy buds, but smooth smoke and not a lot of terpines, which cause me to cough.
I don't have a scale just now so I'm still have no idea of the final weight. I'm guessing maybe 40-60 grams?
