What's up Marc-
I've been in the background watching your grow, nice job and nice strains too. My first suggestion to you is "don't plant your plants in a ditch/hole". That promotes root rot, I do just the opposite. I have my plants in Smart pots. When I plant I want the trunk/top of the root ball just above the soil line. That way no water sits against the stock/top of the root ball, which may cause root rot.
These are the pictures @ruby fruit was talking about. This is my SR-71 Purple Kush, she was the last to trim that season, about 7-10 days later than I would have liked, but this is a great example of a ripe plant. Note how cloudy the tricombs are in the picture. Look how yellow, dead, hanging the fan leaves are. (Did you hear about that man being attacked by a bear near Yosemite? That's him in the picture). Those buds sucked out all those sugars from the leaves.
You have a long ways to go my friend, weeks, be patient.
Good luck on your season, if you have any questions shoot me a PM (personal message).

Thanks for the explanation. I see what you mean. I'm going to be patiently waiting. Next outdoor run I'm definitely going with smart pots. Been looking into those since halfway through this grow.

Nothing necessarily wrong with that, aside from impending rains, but I wouldn't say they're behind at all...

Mine took forever to really start, blue dream slowest and still isn't even beyond pre-flower. I'm at a relatively high latitude, pacific northwest, so I don't expect anything to finish before mid October.

:)I was able to get a few better shots today. First time All organic and I'm not looking back. White grizzly, Seawarp, Swamp Skunk, Purple pineberry. Also got a cool evening shot of seawarp without flash.Screenshot_2015-08-26-20-36-38.pngScreenshot_2015-08-26-20-35-46.png Screenshot_2015-08-26-20-31-34.png Screenshot_2015-08-26-20-29-27.png Screenshot_2015-08-26-20-28-44.png
Keep up the excellent gardening everyone! You all maintain a high standard to live up to:clap::clap::clap: It is a great motivation to grow better.

Yea, I expect about the same, the plan (for me anyway) is to let them go till nature says otherwise...if weather will hold till late october, that would be awesome. I know as the days get shorter and shorter, and the temps get cooler and cooler, will definitely kick them up in speed.

My gorilla glue, cheese, dog, and cherry pie are barely done stretching, still setting up though. Haven't poof balled yet. Everything else has poofs though.

All mine are puff balling now except the ak47 but it has been stretching finally. It was getting the worst of the neighbors light, but i got a good clone off his trinity and purple haze;)

I wanted to poll this group on how long you let the plants ripen before harvest. There is the standard sentiment of 8 wks for Indica and 12 wks for Sativa. I have historicly observed the tricomes under a 30X scope and harvested when the majority,85% had turned to amber. There are other that suggest waiting much longer. Some long time growers suggest 15-20 wks depending on the strain. There is on person on this forum who I have been following and he appears very experienced he contens the following and I quote"Indeed brother. It takes longer to go through all stages, however 15-16 weeks is minimum for hybrids. As the tree ripens and goes through chemical changes, the effects will change. However, you are getting a more ripe fruit and the cannabinoids will benefit more than THC. If you want more of the mind expansion, ripen on past that until the tree produces red/gold trichomes and those cannabinoids are super healers together. 20+ weeks for that in most hybrids and the tree is beautiful around that stage. Cutting early has destroyed true healings and knowledge of the tree, but most don't know better. Instance, Acapulco gold is not gold " I grow pure ones," they were gold back in the day for the farmers would cut them in Dec,Jan, and even February. This allowed the tree to ripen cannabinoids and change color and then they dried and decarbed in the sun, which made it gold. Acapulco back then was easily recognized because of this and plus it expanded the mind more than any other. Now Mexicans like most up here, cut early to supply demand. Now all the bud is pretty much green and gives paranoia and only the experienced eye back home in the southeast can recognize and find seeds from the old classics. When you do, you grow them yourself under hid and let them ripen 20+ weeks and its too much for most to handle. Pure Mexicans are the strongest trees in the world period, its just one in a thousand or more grows them properly. I've lived out west now 18 months and love helping people to know truth. I've yet to have a joint clog and I've smoked what's supposed to be the best. Not even. I will be glad god willing to share a true ripened sativa experience with people out here soon and good genetics. Remember also, if going for further ripening, feed well and molasses and sugar are your friends. When the tree starts really building red trichomes and changes color for second stage it will double almost the weight and bud. You will also get it super potent and oils and edibles are super healers then. Its worth it. Better meds, more of it and less drying and curing the further you ripen. Take it to the very end and it can be used right away, no drying or curing. One love, rev.thenatural"
What do you all think about the longer ripening period?

testing of terpinoids shows this to be untrue . my lungs also show this to be untrue .
the greatest healing benifit may lie in degraded terps but it has yet to be proven ....
besides that guys is speaking to sativia dom cultivars . the hybrids i grow need less time and "fluff out " making them hard to smoke in the cold of december . i have tried it on bubba kush and haze's none of them benifited IMO/IME from longer than averge (50%amber ) some were much stoneyer at earlier times (5-10%amber ) as testing indicates ....
