yo mate respect 4 ya patience jus hold out or jus take a lower nug and test her out that way,, i can def see amber in the trich that are lower down, there are 3 types of trichs and the ones to look at at harvest are the tallest ones, the others amber off first. however def take a nug off and test it out that way u can see if she does wat u want her 2. i undertand the couchlock thing worrying ya i like a smoke at work etc! but there nothing worse than growing a plant 4 ages then cuttin her too early, i done it , trust me u will still get a buzz, but not the same as some real sticky icky. gd luck on holding out m8

sweetsmoker,

+rep for the info - it's a tough call, but i think those amber trics were as tall as the others, i think they may have shrunk a bit as they went amber

there are some tall ambers over to the left, it's hard to see because of cheap camera and focus

i've held off on sampling because i'm not sure how close the samples will be compared to the cured bud

Day 76 of 12/12. The idea of this thread was to record all the ideas/doubts/fears a new inside grower goes through before harvest. It can be a rough ride, you think you're there, then you don't, and finally back again.

So cut time has come. Scoped down the main cola good and thorough. Saw a fair number of amber trics scattered around the main cola. This is in addition to the amber 'islands' that I had been watching for a few days. Not a large percentage,1% - 5%. Not too precise a count, but a lot of 'real estate' when you view at 20x.

Pics didn't come out too good, so not going to bother posting them. I'm also getting the feeling that I've been under counting the milky, some examples I've seen show a more translucent tric than actual white color.

So I'll put up the main cola shot tomorrow. It's a risk that it hasn't reached its maximum. But the whole picture is the plant looks mature, the bud is fat, sticky, gooey, and amber trics are starting to show up.

Fantastic micro cfl grow my dude and I think you were able to get away with so few cfls because it looks like you got pretty good reflection in your grow tube. I go two white rhinos in my closet and another two in the bedroom. The ones in the closet are almost twice the size of the other two simply because of good reflection off the white walls in my closet. Real tight work bruh and hella patience!

CapK, thanks for the look and the results of your own grow
you're giving us a pretty good comparison of the same strain results with some extra reflector
and i do think reflector is a huge deal, you can almost double your light intensity, you don't raise the temperature, and for homemade reflectors, it can be done for a few dollars

The first bud. And it is sticky icky. The smell is fantastic, pungent pine and citrus. And getting stronger by the minute since cutting. Weighed in 55 grams wet. I think I have another 70-80 to go. Should weigh in over an ounce. Enough talk, the bud.

Thanks for stopping by, and the respect. Likely somewhere between 1/4 and 1/3 wet weight is my guess. These buds are rock hard, really amazed with the cfl result.

This was a wild ride, glad you got a bit of enjoyment from it. The high is the big question, I was shooting at the 'head' so to speak. Likely won't be perfect, but we'll see. This was 11 weeks of 12/12 for a '8 week' strain. Understand the breeder guidelines aren't set in stone by a long shot, but didn't want to ignore the flower time completely.

+rep to both for the great comments

Nice work man, can't wait to see what you get from the entire plant once it is dry. To think that you used less than $15.00 of electricity for the grow.

I have a NL that is at 8 weeks 12/12 right now and its looking like it may have at least another week. Your extra 3 weeks was most likely due to the cfls. Nice thread. Take care and enjoy the smoke.:joint:

growspace, casegrower, siltysand, simplybaked

thanks big for the looks and the compliments, here's a quick smoke and taste report for the interested

so i oven dried a bit of trim leaf, bud is off limits till it's done
i get ready for what i'm sure is going to harsh stuff, trim leaf is not famous for being smooth
and i'm amazed, it was smooth as silk, not a hint of burn anywhere in lungs or throat
this plant had no feeding for 5 weeks to harvest, probably a contributor
and a very nice head high, not super powerful, but nice, and a sweet come down, no hint of that burned out feeling some weed can give you
the taste wasn't the best, though there was a hint of pine - this was trim leaf - ain't going win no competitions with trim leaf so no suprise
long ways to the real test of cured bud, but this bodes well, this was all organic grow and from what i've seen, organic may give some very sweet results
