Thin ima needing some of these seedsDouble dipz is from @allcityseeds and is essentially runtz x runtz here she is seeded pollenated by my bluchi male stud muffin!
Bluchi is Big buddhas blue cheese (i ran 50 fems) x my biker kush v2 male from karma genetics, then BX back to the same Blue cheese mother, as the original cross wasnt cheesey enough, (OG really dominates allot of the time!)View attachment 5017514
Im really looking forward to how this finishes upApprox 3 weeks of 12/12
EC 1.2 pH6 feeding every 3 hours during lights on and once during lights off.
DINAFEM critical + single plant in an 8L pot of 100% coco (rehydrated brick coco)

I’ve grown This particular strain from dinafem since around 2012 running 1 almost every grow lol.Im really looking forward to how this finishes up
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 tooI’ve grown This particular strain from dinafem since around 2012 running 1 almost every grow lol.
even I’m looking forward to seeing how this one does lol.
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).Be going off trichoomes for chop.
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 coveringDay 18 of 12/12.
feeding EC 1.2 pH6 every 4hours and once during dark cycle.

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 flowerEvery strains trichomes develop differently, some strains seldom have amber, some mature differently to others.

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 sayEvery strains trichomes develop differently, some strains seldom have amber, some mature differently to others.

If it’s white it’s just mycelium which is not an issue.hello mate just wondering if you got you’re own youtube chanell ?

Check back a few pages and you’ll see from August my plants that are filled with green leaves the week I was harvesting.also keeping an eye on leafs as the plant more or less canniblises it self late in flower
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!!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
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.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
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 myselfI haven’t checked a trichome in about 8 years lol.
I have a look at them. But, IMHO, it isn't a full indicator of ripeness, merely a guide.I haven’t checked a trichome in about 8 years lol.
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
