1st grow. Harvest question. Need prof. Help

[stocktonjohn]

Heyyyy.. got a quick question. This is my first grow.. Afghan Kush & White Widow. Week 7 since the switch to 12/12. FFOF Soil & Nutes. 7 Gal. pots. 1000w HPS. Here's the problem. The light has been about a foot away from the plants since flower ( 3 in. from the tallest top ) Buds smell delicious and white hairs are everywhere... haven't had a chance to check trichs yet. Seems like my buds are growing rather slow, not really filling in. Temps are 75 during day 65 at the lowest during 'night'. Here are some pics. Does this look normal to you? Thanks for all the advice

Hey dude! looking great. Btw in case you didn't know flowering weeks are counted from the moment they show sex, so I'd say 2-3 more weeks to go?. Also try yo measure the canopy temperatures instead. Remember that heats degrades Potency.

Buds will blow up in size in the last few weeks. It suck to hear but patience is going to be an ally of yours.

Hey guys thanks for the info... & yeah i'd say the canopy temps are around 80. the 1000w is cool to the touch literally. I want this to be some stuff to impress. Would you recommend a head high (clear trichs) or couchlock (amber) on the afghan kush & ww

well, your temps are fine so no Issues there. I always go for a 50/50 or 30/70 coz I like the couch-lock better, but you can go the other way around. One thing you need to plan ahead being this your fist grow is drying and curing, there're some nice threads addressing this part of the process which is as important as the growing phases, do be prepared coz it's coming soon

You want the crystals milky not amber thc degrades to cbn a useless oil. They pack on all the weight in the last two weeks. I can see your picks.

Allthough I agree with you CBN is not useless. Like CBD, it is suspected of potentiating certain aspects of the high like THC's disorienting qualities. One may feel more dizzy or drugged or generally messed up but not necessarily higher. It's a matter of taste, mine is about 30 Clear / 70% cloudy - lil amber
