Not when first amber appear, but when practically all the clear trichomes have disappeared. This is because an amber trichome might appear long before a plant should be harvested, but if nearly all the trichomes are at least cloudy, you could harvest. This is important because you don't want to...

Imagine a powerful fan blowing directly onto buds drying in 70% RH; you could get them bone dry in no time. And no air movement would have the exact opposite effect: Evaporating bud would have nearly 100% humidity surrounding them. Of course neither of these extremes is recommended; rather...

Drying in 70% RH will provide you the best bud imaginable, so long as it's done properly. This is because the bud will be provided an opportunity to slow dry. But your temperatures must be relatively low, around 70 degrees or less. - Use a hanging dry rack and an oscillating fan pointed away...

Absolutely it's possible. I wouldn't worry that; rather, the issue is you could end up with a sativa dominant strain that wants to flower for 12+ weeks. Much of those [Mexican] reggie plants are comprised of significant sativa influence.

Yes, I too have noticed the bud is significantly fruiter when dry trimmed. My understanding is that when you trim sugar leaves wet, the stomata (small openings on underside of leaf) close. This prevents the proper escape of chlorophyll, resulting in a more "green" taste. If you do want to trim...

What is the humidity?

What strain is that, and in which region of the U.S. do you reside? I ask because I live in the Deep South and it's so humid here that I must be VERY selective as to what strain I plant outdoors, otherwise mold will strike and completely ruin the bud. Just concerned about those in the...

@HarveyHarvester I just measured and it's at or very close to 2" When I made mine, I just sorta winged it with the sheet metal scissors and dremel. It worked out though. Just be sure to seat your 4R in the hole before you super-glue and measure humidity stability with boveda (or something...

Once again, I reject the vilification of Sativas within this context; such is ossified thinking. The truth is more complicated: "In summary, moderate to high-CBD producing plants can be found among both the Indica and Sativa species North of 30 degrees North latitude. Overall, there is a...

I've never bought into this vilification of sativas; I think landrace strains in their natural form, whether it be sativa or indica, are your best bet to enjoy smoke without anxiety. I suspect that selective breeding for higher THC (lower CBD) and/or crossing these two opposite families of...

What strain is that purple? Looks lovely.

I considered buying some of those but simply couldn't bring myself to trust them, so I bought a Caliber IV and 4R instead ($25 a piece). I've super-glued the 4R to the lid of a 1 gallon cracker jar from Walmart. Using Boveda 59% humidity packs, I'm testing for accuracy and so far they seem...

Yes, 2,000 watts for 4 plants is overkill.

If anything, trim off those lower branches, not the fan leaves. When you switch over to 12/12 flowering, the plant will stretch tremendously and new branches will grow. These bottom braches you seem to value so much at the moment will become shaded and therefor the buds that grow along them now...

I believe the only downside of using feminized seeds for breeding is that they're more prone to hermies.

I can tell you that it doesn't take much to get a lot of seeds: A few shakes of a branch over one female and ended up with god knows how many hundreds of seeds. As for mutations, yeah I ended up having weird things happen like sprouting plants grow a set or two of leaves then suddenly no more...

Last year I crossed a male Grand Daddy Purple with a female [feminized] Blue OG (Blueberry x Blue Moonshine x OG Kush): I'm no expert, but if the females are Nirvava Mau Waui as well then crossing them with that male might result in some undesired results (eg, inbreeding suppression, random...

DON'T get hydrated lime; GET dolomite lime. The powder form is preferable, but the pellets will work if that's all you can find (it's what I use). Just add 2tbl powder or 3tbl pellets into every gallon of soil, water and wait a day, then stir the soil one more time. Along with what Danny said...
