Long time lurker, first time grower :D

I think she's starting to show budding sites

Its a male!

Just like how your mom is a male.

A quick update on my girlie here, decided to name her Shawna. Shawna and I have grew quite a bond over the last couple months.

 

[mattzheng]

Huston, we got something!

 

[mattzheng]

I think that 4'months of accidental veg time is paying off, she is bustling with budding sites!


Is she ready for harvest yet?

Woah there. You've probably got 7-9 more weeks on

 

[grapefruitmarmalade]

I exaggerated. Maybe 6 weeks

Lol yea, from what I've been reading mid November is harvest time

 

[mattzheng]

How is she looking and I'm thinking about plucking her in 2-3 weeks while keeping a close eye on color of pistils (don't have magnifying glass so can't check on color of the trichromes).

Any inputs appreciated!

Nice. Love outdoor grown bud.

Maybe try some lst training techniques on your next grow to get more cha-ching

I don't agree with naming plants, its like naming pigs, you're gonna end up eating/smoking them and if you give them a name, you might not be able to cut that f*cker down.

Edit: Bet you're excited now looking at all those lovely hairs

Yessir, this is my first one so I'm just trying to learn as much as I can about the fundamentals. Tried the FIM method but didn't appear to work probably due to it was done too late in the veg stage.

Haha rookie mistake by me. Excited for sure, so the conventional wisdom is wait til about 80% of the pistils turn amber/red to harvest right? Mine is probably sitting at about 50% right now.

 

[mattzheng]

Wow looks like she is going to have a good yield, buds everywhere on her.

 

[GuyLeDuche]

Yea great job bringing her back, she looks good! Really hard to say how close, but pros say if you think it's done wait a week lol. Usually you can see the colas have a much more "swollen" look when they are close, and the hairs will recede. Nothing wrong with plucking a bud and testing it out, let it dry for a couple days or place it on a warm device like a cable box and speed it up a little (with some quality loss of course). Really nice job though, got some good exp and some bud as well
