Close enough to be good smoke I'd guess. Looks like white frost rather than amber, so sure, you could probably have left it longer, but I think you've done alright. As M99 says...we need to see trichome pics to really know.

In the search for the perfect view of ripening trichomes over the years I've acquired lots of different magnifying implements....Magnifying glasses, loupes, an actual microscope...and this week I finally bought not one but TWO USB microscopes. One was dirt cheap, and the other a bit more pricey...

No amber trichs visible. Plenty of milky and clear ones. She'll go another week at least I think, my current plan is to chop her in about 10 days...but obviously I'll keep a close eye out in the meantime.

Yeah. I bought some Dairy Queen seeds from attitude not too long ago that're in the fridge right now...I realised original sub cool stuff was running out and wanted to make sure I got hold of some of what little was left. Might do some more shopping soon...

Sorry to hear. That's always a bummer...They are much bigger plants than I thought from the first pics, so you've done good anyway. Stems look a little woody perhaps, which can be a sign of problem, but generally they don't look bad. Not very bushy though...which makes me wonder what sort of...

Glad to help. In an effort to be helpful I'll also add...which hopefully you won't mind since this is your first grow...these are not entirely healthy looking plants. Healthy enough to finish probably, but your yield is unlikely to be good even if you do leave them 3 more weeks. I can't tell...

I recently read some stuff from Cannoli about this topic, and he suggest leaving plants until there are 60% amber trichs. "Dimensions of Ripeness 3" it was called. An interesting read, but I wondered if anyone on here had personal experience leaving harvests that long?

Not ready. Too many new pistils for it to be even close to finished. 3 weeks at least... Just to clarify, those white hairs are each attached to a calyx (sometimes two hairs per calyx). Calyxes provide the bulk of the weight and surface area of a bud. When the hair is white it means that the...

I'm a bit gutted, but seems that I can't buy seeds from geneticsupply as they don't seem to ship outside the US. :wall: What's up with that!? I've searched online and ruled out a plenty of un-reputable suppliers who will probably just shove any old seeds into a bag and sell em....but none of...

Here's another of the lower colas off to the left side of the tent. Most of them are getting some sort of support now for the weight of the bud on them. And here's my standard bud-shot below...

I bought a usb microscope to see if it gave me a good view of the trichs...which I'm not entirely sure it does...every trichome kinda just looks slightly milky to me...as if they are not quite in focus. If they were all milky then I'd expect at least one or two to be amber....but none of them...

My soil gets quite crusty between watering. But as soon as it's damp the water soaks straight through without really sitting on top. Does water sit on top of your soil even when it's already well dampened? If it doesn't then I wouldn't worry about it. If the water can get through then as long...

Did you get you seeds in the end? I'm growing an original Subcool Chernobyl right now (search for it in the Grow Journal forum for pics) and was just about to buy some of those Badger seeds...but it'd be good to know how they're growing, and how they compare to the original..

When you top a plant it still continues to create nodes! They just aren't in the same place as they would be if you hadn't pruned. My guess is that it if you top it you continue to count nodes from that point up but only on one of the shoots that emerge from the pruning spot...

2 feet sounds like 5-7 nodes to me, which is the average for ruderalis I believe...my point is that it is neither the age nor the height which determine when it will flower, since the 5-7th node can be reached at any age and any height.

Well, I was led to believe they start to flower when they reach a certain number of nodes.

Ha. Yeah, more like 6 weeks left...plants always take longer than newbies seem to expect. I was the same myself, and always harvesting too early as a result. Check out my latest chernobyl grow if you want to see an example of how buds look as they mature. I'm going to try to take a regular...

Depends how big a jump it is, but if they're past the seedling stage then you'd be better off starting them on the new light sooner rather than later. They might stunt for a few days but once they're over it they'll start enjoying themselves again..

Just a quick bud comparison. Same cola.....@Today vs 16 days ago....little visible change in size over the last 16 days, but definitely gaining weight.

Could be a month or two left, but looks ok so far.
