First All CFL Grow

[Bakatare666]

11wks Is still pretty damn long.

Agreed!!!!!!
I'm really liking the idea I have an Indica AND a Sativa dom. plant this time around.

I can tell that my 2 oldest girls are I. dom and my youngest girl is S. dom(she is so slow)

NEED A LITTLE HELP GUYS!!!!!!

Ok so guys so i jus went into the closet to move some things around and i decided to give a look through my loupe.
I checked my oldest gilr first, and i started at the bottom and saw amber. I then checked my time line and this entire time i thought she was at day 50 and she is really at day 57.
I realized this after i fed them today so i think im gonna flush her monday and chop once she dries.
WHAT DO U GUYS THINK

TBH, I am one of the 'don't flush' guys, and so was one of the guys that I followed a lot and learned a lot from when I first got here.
What does flushing do?
It cleans out the soil so that there is no nutes left for the plant to uptake.
Doesn't the plant take nutes from the leaves in order to grow the buds?
How much is a week REALLY going to affect anything?
Just my 2 cents.........
OK, let the worms come out from the open can.

 

[SweetestCheeba]

I'll give her till she dries up and i think i'll take her down.

To me, that's better, because if you flush then wait for her to dry again, you said you're already seeing enough amber, so.......
Do the math on your days........
That would add another what, 6-7 days from the time you flush on Monday??

 

[SweetestCheeba]

And that is exactlly whay i had planned at first.
Until i checked tonight.
It also came to my attention that thc continues to mature even after the plant is chopped.
So with her being as cloudy as she is and showing abmer already 2-3 days under the lights should be enough, I wanna do a slower dry anyway so that i can really pull that smell and flavor out.
A week drying is cool right?

 

[Bakatare666]

All depends on your temps and what not.
I am real humid here, so I thought it was going to take longer than it did, but when I jarred them after 4 days when they felt right, I ended up taking them out and laying them on paper plates for 30 minutes every 6 hours for 3 or 4 more days before I could just leave them undisturbed.
**NOTE** I never had hardly any smell at all throughout the grow, I still had the 'hay'ish' smell after a week to week and half, but at the 3 week mark of jarring, the 'GOOD' smell started coming, and just got better from there on.

 

[SweetestCheeba]

Damn man 3wks to bring the smell out!!!!
Is that usually how long it takes?

First time for me, but then again, this was first plant I have seen that almost zero smell throughout the grow unless you played with it.
The other stuff I've done or been around, smells while growing, smells good until a couple days after chop, then by the time you get ready to jar, most of the hay smell is gone, and within a couple days it's smelling good again.

Thats how she is. She does have a musky citrusy smell up close and when i touch her. I pulled a test nug though and quick dried and put it in a jar for a couple of hrs n she had my head racing!!
That was 3 days ago

That sounds good man, I don't think you'll need the 3 weeks, but remember, it just keeps getting better up to a certain point.
The last of my stuff was about 2 1/2 months in the jars, and it wasn't any better smelling or smoking than the month cured.

DID A LOT OF TRIMMING
Brought my girl lush into the livivng room to feed ann check her trichs and on the tops 8 colas the hairs are over 70% red and i checked the trichs thoroughly and she had amber everywhere. About 5% all the way down to the small nugs at the bottom of the colas.
They may be small but this is only half the plant and they are dense
Even though im 100% sure about the trich ratio, Im so paranoid i cant help but feel like i took them a little early. Do they look premature?

Don't, I repeat DON'T second guess yourself.
You can't glue or tape them back on, contrary to what one person has tried, so call it a good deal and celebrate with a harvested plant.
IMO, they do look early if you go by the hairs, but some are diff.
Have you grown this strain before? I can't remember if you said or not.
Also, I would have expected them to pack on more bulk, but you can't argue with the trichs.
If they were ready, then that's the best she's gonna give ya.
Your only other option, was wait another week or more, only to find the hairs weren't gonna get any shorter and she wasn't packing any more weight, and then you would have been over ripe.
You did the right thing IMO.

 

[SweetestCheeba]

I meant to say they were over 50% red hairs but im tellin u i made sure to check from the bottom up, and for sure everywhere i looked there was amber and about 10% or less still clear

 

[SweetestCheeba]

And this is not the same girl we were jus discussing yesterday

I assumed that man, I knew you wouldn't catch that much amber all over to make you chop since yesterday.
Nice finish!
