First grow bag seed day 58 ??

[cwgizzle]

So I am on flowering day 58 of my first grow. I have had some issues here and there (inexperience) but I got everything stabilized. I am trying to estimate how much longer I have until harvest. I bought one of those radio shack microscopes (handheld ones) and it looks as though only about 30-50% of the trichomes are milky. What I want to do is harvest one plant when trichomes at least 100% milky and harvest the other two when they are 50% amber (experimenting ).

So my questions:

1. How much longer will it take to get to 100% milky?
2. How much longer to get to 50% amber?
3. Any idea of yeild (I know its impossible to tell but I like asking)?
4. Does it matter that these plants have NO oder to them?


Setup:
Storage closet (48"x20"x70")
120mm PC fan for exhaust
4" intake hole
400w HPS
One plant is 22" the other two are 20"
They are in 8" walmart pots
Temps w/lights 80-82 without 75, Humidity 20-50%

1 and 2 it depends on the strain and lotrs of other factors

3 yeild once again it al depends on when u cut it.....from the looks now

your gonna pull a lil over an ounce maybe per palnt

Yo man sorry I cant answer those questions but fucken they look pretty bomb man. I just put a 400w hps in my closet and have 4 13w 2700k cfls and im a week and some into flowering. Yuo should check it out and leave me some suggestions seein your farther ahead than me. Ill put up some new pics tonight but you can see buds forming everywhere now. heres the links +rep https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/170195-400w-hps-45w-clfs-2700k.html

Basement ambient temps are around 60 degrees. Going to do a new setup for summer.

Are there any strains that dont smell? I can only smell something if i stick my nose on the plant.

dont worry man mine just started budding and they dont really smell like weed, just plant

 

[cwgizzle]

I thought it would have smelled really bad.

 

[sirus420]

Just really depends on the strain, you just got a seed from a bag of dank eh, me to.

nice little set up im guessing like 2.5-5ounces dry

 

[1982grower]

medimariuser your answer sounds dead on. its my exact guess to if you want guesses. i have about 10 small to med grows experience. def close to his suggestion. Whatever it is wet its 25% dry. some say 50 but that is sticky as hell. as in couldn't be sold. Decent selling dryness 2.5. You like the scientific terms eh? lol

 

[aHIGHrussian]

well agreeeeeddd.....dam some shit i grew i was to anxious to smoke i broke it up then iwas juss gonna slide it down the crease in the magazine i used...hmm i couldnt... so before i pushed it down to the inner i flipped the mag upside down and the shit just stayed on the cover THAT WAS SO AWESOME!!!( a lil wet but sooo stickyy makes me proud u know.lol)

How many days do you water starve before harvest. Should I start now? Last time I watered them was Sunday and I usually water every 2-3 days (my humidity is like 20% so they eat water).

 

[aHIGHrussian]

i would say like 4 or 5 days ......im sayin anything longer might push it a lil b/c it is so dry....hope it helps...good luck

 

[cwgizzle]

Any advantage in doing extended dark period (24hr) prior to harvest?

 

[aHIGHrussian]

nothing drastic that i found....but many people will tell you otherwise.........

 

[cwgizzle]

So I harvested on day 63 when 25-50% of the trichomes were amber. Ill post dry weight this weekend when they are done drying.

 

[cwgizzle]

Total weight wet is 132g. By the looks of the buds I am guessing 1-1.5oz.

This bud has a strong pine smell. Never heard of weed smelling like that.
