I often drive without my seatbelt until I get to the highway. I won't ride a motorcycle anymore because I don't want helmet hair.
Some days I think I need to be more remote. :-)

Sam the trichs start out clear. then cloudy. then amber. with your hand held microscope as it gets ripe you kinda estimate the % of amber seen at different sites on limbs of the plant. the ones that get more sun ripen faster. this method allows you to cut some of the ripest limbs so sun can reach the lower shaded limbs.

Yes, I have a scope and check....but, you said, trichromes at 50%.....50% what?
50%cloudy, 50% amber, a combo of cloudy amber????

Yeah he was referring to a 50/50 ratio of cloudy and amber trichs.

Master Kush and Cherry Pie got a nice drink of WC and guano tea and the rest got bloom food which is a combo of Maxsea bloom and Hula bloom.
Its hard to feed through the cages.....

I like to check trichs in the middle of the plant as opposed to the colas. I think it gives a better overall picture of where the plant is. Also if given the opportunity I like to chop tops a week before the rest.

Why am I afraid to chop some and not all? I heard from someone decades ago that it is best to dry the whole plant to get the most potency out of the plant? Urban legend?

Eh, I've hung whole plants including the bagged root ball, single branches whole plants minus the root ball and so on and haven't really seen a difference. I must admit most of the time I harvest when and how I have to depending on the circumstance.

That's why I use remesh wire for the cages, the squares are 6x6. Or you can cut a few larger holes in your wire for access..
One of my many rookie mistakes was to put the cages on way too late. I couldn't get them close enough to the fabric pots because the plants were too big.
I'll struggle with them this year and eliminate the problem next year. ;-)

Thanks, woot... I'm going to work up my courage and try it when the need arises.
I think after I do it and see good results it will get easier. Baby steps. :-)
