Thin ima needing some of these seeds
Im really looking forward to how this finishes up
I’ve grown This particular strain from dinafem since around 2012 running 1 almost every grow lol.
Should be good the original critical was piss easy to grow and yielded like fuck i imagine dinafems critical plus be the same shame there shutdown theres a few strains they did that were decent there sweetpinkgrapefruit x blueberry was lovely genuinely tastes like grapefruit nice fat buds too
Every strains trichomes develop differently, some strains seldom have amber, some mature differently to others. How do you address these differences when using trichomes to see if a plant has matured? (especially when growing a new strain).
hello mate just wondering if you got you’re own youtube chanell ? Every thing looking good there mate, i’ve been thinking of using those pot toppers seem to be getting alot of mould type spores on topof growing medium, i did but this down to the use of biosys as its microbeal and i know every time i use it’s a day later there’s a decent covering
yeah i hear u mate, last grow i hadnt many amber trichomes but i knew by breeders reccomendations that it was a 8 week flowering strain i generally allways chop one plant a little early anyways as i keep this for a day smoke, i use a mix of the breeders timescales, looking at trichomes and just watching the plants and how they progressing, you allways get some plumping up of buds later in flower which adds quite a bit of weight also keeping an eye on leafs as the plant more or less canniblises it self late in flower
You got a good point for example take hindu kush ul see some ambers at week 9 but not what you would expect once you harvest it week9/10 they all turn that lovely gold proper ripe way and thats a pure indica going by just trichs alone ud be doing it till way past there prime harvest window like dst says it isnt so simple unfortunately trichs must be used with other signs to tell if its proper ready id say
If it’s white it’s just mycelium which is not an issue.
Check back a few pages and you’ll see from August my plants that are filled with green leaves the week I was harvesting.
Sounds like you use a good few factors in combination, I am the same, except I tend never to look closely at the trichomes. In the past it always puzzled me when people use to come out with, "the tricks (because they never spelt it correctly) were 15% clear 78%cloudy and 3%amber, (their strange figures never added up to 100%), either way I was always amazed anyone actually counted anything, or was able too, especially with their maths!!
Sativa leaning hybrids can often never amber, i had a Headband called Thelma. She was a weirdo twin seed. Her sister Louise actually turned out to be a kind of, Louis and ended up showing some balls. It was 2009s version of an LGBTQ plant. 12 weeks and you would see no sign of Amber. But after a souring high she couch locked you good and proper.
I haven’t checked a trichome in about 8 years lol.Sounds like you use a good few factors in combination, I am the same, except I tend never to look closely at the trichomes.

I do but its more cos they look cool i use every sign i can spot to assess ripeness myself
I have a look at them. But, IMHO, it isn't a full indicator of ripeness, merely a guide.
Exactly. You probably check them when every other precursor has been achieved.I do but its more cos they look cool i use every sign i can spot to assess ripeness myself
