Strictly, thank you for chiming in about the bushmaster. You guys with the bud porn, excellent representation once again of the prowess of the six hundred club.
I'll add to the discussion as to when a plant is ready, it's really easy, when I have scissors in my hand and start chopping, it's ready.
I look at the plant and not the trichomes. I have heard it said and read that checking the trichomes is the only way to really tell if your plant is ready to be chopped. I disagree. First off, any amber in your trichomes says the thc has degraded past its most potent point and is starting to degrade. Since I'm more of a sativa person, why would I want amber trichs? I'm not growing my prized neville's haze due to the fourteen weeks of flowering it takes. I could see waiting twenty weeks for amber trichs. That just won't fly in my garden. When I first started growing I looked at the trichs but no longer, now I just look at the plant and once you've grown a strain a couple of times you should be able to tell when the plant is ready. Every colombian gold clone that was taken and each generation after they all finished in eight weeks instead of ten like the seed plant. I have one that is coming down next weekend and it will be eight weeks. Not once have I looked at the trichomes.
I'm so old I got my first car from fred flintstone.
