[wns99]

Hey guys! i am new here and its my first time growing weed. i was in amsterdam and got some ROYAL DWARF seeds with me! i have planted one of them and its fully grown now i guess, but i dont know if its ready to start drying it or no. i am going to upload some pictures of it.Is my plant ready? HELP ME PLEASE

 

[Final Phase]

Look at the trichomes with a magnifying glass. If they are milky/cloudy and NOT clear - they are close to being mature. Look for ⅔ of the trichomes to turn amber before cutting down.

Hang it upside down by the stem with a clothes pen on hanger in your closet. Keep an eye on it around day 6 as it could be done that fast if it's not humid where you live.
Enjoy your beautiful herb!

RoyalDwarf grows quickly, reaching an average height of 40 to 60 cm. Ready for harvest in just 8 to 9 weeks. ... Floweringtime 6-7 Weeks;

How long have they been in a 12 hour of darkness period for flowering?

What should i do?

 

[mr sunshine]

What should i do?

Cut it down. It's unfixable now. Scrub your grow room with bleach and use preventative sprays next time.

are you sure its ready??

Microwave the buds for 10 seconds on a paper plate to kill off the mites so they don't eat the bud while it's drying.

You need to kill that plant and start a super clean up to get rid of the mites for any future grow.

how do i do that? i cut down the plant then do what? im a bit confused now

 

[mr sunshine]

are you sure its ready??

No I'm not sure..but you have hundreds of bugs on your plant. You can't ignore that.if you wait the quality may be worse than it would be if you were to pull it now..at this stage you won't be able to spray them..It's infested brother take what you can before it all goes to shit.

how do i do that? i cut down the plant then do what? im a bit confused now

Then you'll have dead bug body's stuck to your nuggs..you should just let them walk away . Use double sided tape on each end of the drying line or something. I wouldn't kill them on the nugs tho. unless u like smoking bugs

 

[mr sunshine]

Cut the plant at its base. Get rid of the super infested leaves cut all of those off asap. Hang the entire plant upside down.the bugs will crawl to the top use double sided tape to catch anything

leave the roots in the pot.. cut here right above the soil.
Then hang lines or a line like this in a dark cool area with air movement. Don't point the fan directly at them you just need air to circulate.see the yellow rope in using you can put double sided tape on each end. The mites will climb up the hanging plant then walk the rope to try to leave when they hit the end of the rope they get stuck to the tape.

You don't have to cut the plant in pieces you can just hang the whole thing..

[Final Phase]

I'm seeing way too many spider mites to let it hang for a week while they much theh shit out of the buds so I'd cut the plant into pieces that would fit into a microwave.
Nuked each plate 10 seconds at a time then hung to dry.... I never saw any live mites on the smoke when it was dry!
