Buds lookin good. Still alot of white pistils on there.
Being a sativa, you prob have another 3-5 weeks left.

Yeah, thats what I figured. Its killing me how the one in the back has maybe 3 orange hairs on the whole plant ! I mean I want a head high with alil bit of couch lock but its still way to early to harvest. Tomorrow I should be able to tell when I can start flushing.

Hmm, they look decent. Perhaps Ill buy the caliber three and two or three of the petsmart ones and just use the caliber three as my control hygrometer. I may just end up buying the big ass bell jar and curing everything in one jar together.

Might wanna read up on that a little more.
People use the smaller jars because when using the beig ones there is alot more bud and take longer to dry out and could cause mold.
Once they are dry enough in the smaller jars then they can be moved into bigger jars for permanant storage.
Just my intake on what I take in when reading around. That's my method anyways. I want my shit to be the best bud I have ever smoked.

ahh, good point forgot about the damn mold. okay medium canning jars it is. probably wont need more than four or five anyways.
btw any idea what strain "purp" is? buying some tomorrow. I know its good just curious to the genetics etc.

When about 3/4 of those hairs are turned brown then its close to harvest time.
Don't worry so much about the harvest time and just admire the ladies and watch em pack on size over the next month.
Check on some Indica strain for faster flowering. And check and compare the yield amounts. Most should be 8-9 week flower time.
Check on some Querkle. It's purple!

Yeah its almost gonna be a shame to cut them down. thankfully tomorrow i replenish my cupboards with bud and won't be so fixated on what ive got growing. I'm guessing purps are some kind of grandaddy purp which sounds great. Thats why I wonder if some of the lower buds will be ready before the main colas since they are maturing so much faster.

Yeah some of mine are like that too Niko. (Lower looking further along) but most of mine the Top buds look done and lowers look like they need more time, more white hairs.

Check my thread bro had some bad leaves on my Ice mother today.

Also here is the comparison picture of the microscopes.

Thats the exact one i bought today. works great so far. When the lights come on in the morning ill check the triks. saw them briefly earlier theres only the two biggest colas that havent gotten alot of orange hairs yet. Also i noticed the roots are taking on a brown tinge as of this week. wondering if its worth it this late in the grow to try to get em back to white?

Mmm, smoking some purps. very tasty stuff checked the trichs theyre alil on the clear side hairs are brown But the ash is black. If it'd been flushed, dried and cured properly it should be grade. I would rate this weed a low 7 on a scale of one to ten. PeaceMufuc#a's

Try water curing bro. Awesome Bluberry let me know what you think of it.
i just tried some water curing on my widows and can say WOW the shit is potent as hell. now it turned the color from its usual lime green to dark almost purp it didnt look bad but the flavor was pretty gone and the smell was completely gone when burned it almost smelled like nothing crazy stuff but extremely potent and i do mean EXTREMELY lol.

You still have a good 3-4 weeks before you need to be worried about flushing or trichs.
You chose a sativa flowering plant which means that you need to be patient and give it the full time to ripen and mature to its full potential.
No need to be so impatient and try to rush a good thing.
You mention all these brown hairs but then the picture is of vibrant white pistils.
I'm not trying to be an ass but you really need to be patient and let them take their course.
If you want buds faster then get yourself some fast flowering Indicas.
And IMO start with the basics of growing before you try to take on a perpetual 40 plant grow system.
Just my 2 cents. Patience grasshopper!!
But you are nowhere near chop time.
No matter had bad you want to eat them buds bongsmilie

Yeah, half the reason I grow is for flavor and smell. Ill earmark a couple of buds for water curing just to see what the hype is about but I'll stick to traditional methods for the rest of my grow.

Yup, checked the trichs today they are all perfectly clear. I had already planned on another 3 weeks minimal. It's just the lower buds matureing faster than the main colas that had me wondering if they would become over ripe. Doubt they will though. Look back on some of those pics, most of the lower buds have over half orange hairs (but still alot of white) but the trichs indicate still inmature which is why I bought a good magnifying glass. Yeah I'm an impatient man, first sativa dominant strain I've grown. used to being done by now.

And as for the 40 plant perpetual Thats later on. Somewhere in here I mentioned that I bought a crate to use as a grow box, shoulda clarified that I'm going to try the box for a small scale perpetual grow before I take over a garage with plants. It's like with how I started growing, I jumped straight to hydro when others said to try soil first. I'm a quick learner and the only thing different with a perpetual will be timing mostly as well as proper strain selection.
I threw the 2 cents in the bank bro, lol. Mmmm I did eat the runt and she was amazing.

You are doing a great job! Alot to be proud of. Just gotta have a little patience.
I'm definitely gonna have to try some of that butter and make me some cookies. Mmmm!
I have never had cannabutter before and was watching some videos on it and it looks pretty good and easy to make.
I plan to use my trim leaves and smaller buds after harvest to make some. Hopefully I'll get about an oz to throw in the mix.

Thanks, I'm still not happy with it. need to go with a cooler next dwc grow cuz this tote is letting in alil light and letting my roots get too hot. Need to get a ppm meter cuz I know my nutes are off. I have alot of improvements to make. My fourth grow and this is the first time Ive had a proper ph meter jewelers loupe and air stones. Now I need to upgrade my nutes.

Butter is fun to make. Coffee grinder, couple oz's of trim and really good butter. Slow simmer for two hours in a double boiler and your set. Thanks for all your advice bro always good to have you here.

DAY 50'ISH: Not much too report other than buds growing. The lower buds that are nearest the cfl's are frooooosty as hell. They look so good I might make one of them my first smoke. Checked the Trichs on a sugar leaf today other than being super dense with trichs they are still perfectly clear. Directly spraying the roots wih mistings of rhizotonic a couple times a day to whiten them back up.
