    Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

    Firstly, I need to apologise for the photos today. There was very little light and I could not get good shots. She seems to be pushing out new pistils still. Does this mean I should hold back on harvesting? If not, I will harvest tomorrow morning as advised. Here are what 2 other random...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    Thank you for your comforting words. I have definitely learnt a lot with all the trial and error in this first grow. I stopped vegging because it was already getting too tall. Any taller and she might have been too obvious for the neighbours to see. Next round, I may fim and train, then veg even...

    Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

    Thanks for your advice. :) I was holding on because of the size. I was thinking that she's still a bit skinny. She's about 3 1/2 feel tall, and i didn't do any form of training. But if she's ready, then she's ready...

    Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

    Cutting and pasting from another thread on this forum: I've already cut off the top of the main cola, and some of the sides. But I should've done it sooner instead of hoping to control the infestation and save the colas. It's better now, but the mites are still around. Have a look at the...

    Understood... I will try my best to bring her back, but at the same time I'll be prepared for the possibility that she may not return. Thanks for your advice. I'll give her a few more days. But I do want to know what you think of her size. Or rather the size of her flowers. I want to train my...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    Agreed. The next round, I will take harsher action. I've already cut off the top of the main cola, and some of the sides. But I should've done it sooner instead of hoping to control the infestation and save the colas. It's better now, but the mites are still around. The reason for wanting to...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    Thanks for the consoling words. Next round, I will be even more diligent. I actually was, but then i read someone say on a forum that outdoors, he just lets nature take its course. It made sense to me, so I gave it a shot and sat back. I guess I got unlucky. Either that, or i sat back a little...

    Okay, as promised, trichome shots from today. Again, I've taken photos of flowers from all over the plant. The trichome shots are also from a variety of places.

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    Well, i have been fighting it since mid-November. I have stopped infestations on the other sections, but with the main cola, because I didn't want to cut off too much of it, I ended up letting the infestation there get worse. After taking the photos, I cut off the whole main cola. Didn't have...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    Okay, sure thing. I've gone out and taken those photos and will post them up now. The main cola has been devastated due to the infestation, which also ended up causing rot because of heavy webbing. Two other sections have also been slightly affected.

    So, it has been another week. I will post photos of 3 random bud sites, and some trichome shots as well. :) 2 weeks ago, I had to snip off some buds that had mite infestation and rot. Whatever that could be salvaged, I dried and cured. Tried some last night... it was very nice. Smelt complex...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    Hello! It's been a week since I first posted photos on this thread. Here's how some of the flowers look like now. Are the pistils retracting? Are the calyxes swelling? Any guesses on when she'll reach full bloom? :) If you want photos of the trichomes, I can post them. Thank you!

    Sudden Infestation!! Urgent help please?

    Yes, agreed. It's probably rotting. It's not just been raining, it's been monsoon thunderstorms for the past 5 weeks!! And here in the tropics, even when it's not raining, it's very high humidity. But she has been fine all this while. I think what happened was that the webbing, spider mite or...

    Sudden Infestation!! Urgent help please?

    Thank you everyone for the help and suggestions! I was guessing spider mites. Wasn't sure if the rotting was due to the spider mites, and if getting rid of the pests would allow that section to heal. But i'll be taking your advice and cutting it off! Thanks again...

    Sudden Infestation!! Urgent help please?

    I'll post a bit of information about her, in case any of it helps, along with some photos from 2 days ago. Just to make things clear, only one flower has the infestation. The rest still look fine. And i hope they will be in the morning!! I am a first time grower. Grew her from seed in mid...

    Sudden Infestation!! Urgent help please?

    Hello good people! My girl is in the middle of her flowering season. It was all going smoothly until today. One of her flowers seems to have a sudden onset of an infestation. I've already doused her with organic fertiliser. What do you all recommend? Should i cut off that flower, or let it...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    Alright, I'll read those up if I find myself with some extra time. Right now, I have a bit of trouble. One of my flowers seems to have a sudden onset of an infestation problem. What should I do? I just doused it with organic pesticide. Should I cut off that flower tomorrow morning, or should...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    I do agree that the calyxes look young. They're growing fast though, so I'll be checking on them regularly. I hope there's at least a month left, but if she tells me she's ready next week, then next week it'll be. As for the photos, I take shots of whole flowers with a macro lens, and on...
