Are they done yet? What does "done" look like?

To be honest finding a few seeds i'm not talking 50,just a few means that you have pushed the plant to its max, and that you have left them to the perfect picking time,all plants will turn if left long enough,the seed's might be feminized if there from a regular grown plant.

I nearlly all ways find the odd seed,about 5/10 never more than that,it just means that you have left the plants full term like i said above,the old school grower that learnt me said to me if you don't find the odd seed then it means you could have pushed them a little longer,its a fine line between picking them bang in time like you have or ending up with a good few seeds,with experience you will learn to pick at the perfect time.

I sometimes like to take a few of the bottom bud's of the cheese strain and jack herer a little early just for me the taste is so sweet when its picked a little early,but i all ways leave the bulk untill the crowning has done all it can do,and the heads are milky not too dark,9 week both strains i have found to be perfect picking time.

A friend of mine grows the same strains has i have but he all ways pushes them a lot longer,the jack herer he leaves till about 10 week sometimes 11,he does not get much more weight wise,the bud just seems to be a bit more of a heavy buzz,i have made oil,from his stuff and its just over powering,great if you want a good nights sleep,i use mine for sleep along with a few other medical needs my wife uses it for several health issues one been sleep she uses twice the amount i use to get her of to sleep,but since we have been making vape oil from the stuff we do i am thinking more of just using most of our crop for the e cig liquids,it blows my nut of,i smoke it where ever i go,but it does smell strong so i have been adding more flavors,like tutti fruiti,to the oil's this kinda hides the smell of the cannabis,it seem's to smell like old school hash we used to get years ago the gold and red seal,would not mind getting hold of some of that old school squidgy,i all ways put a lb in the rick simson oil making that serves 4 of us,and just last for 8 week.

All based on the research I did when I wrote the truth about flushing and recently I added another ditty to the end
https://www.rollitup.org/t/the-truth-about-flushing.409622/page-23

When they are ready simply water em with boiling water and leave em under the lights 3~4 days then chop, It speeds up the cure

I went back and read this thread. Interesting stuff. Do you leave the lights on 24hrs or stick with the lighting schedule?

Note: he said he had already done smoke reports on my gear, here they are ,,,,,,,,,,

Hello everyone,
I went an visited with Rid yesterday.
He introduced me to a few of the strains he has created.
The first thing we smoked was the Colorado Thunder Fuck.
We had around 1/2 a jay or less.
Rid is right!
There is no ceiling with this stuff!
It is smooth, great tasting weed!
We also smoked some Holy Diver and right before I left, I got a smooooooth bong rip of Wonderland.
All of his smoke has an earthy hash taste.
Like incense with floral undertones of coffee and spice.
What I find most impressive, is most of the buds I saw that he grows are reddish brown, loaded with well cured brown/red pistils everywhere.
I brought some green Crack and Kosher Kush.
My Green Crack looks like lime Jello compared to his reddish brown trich-laden buds.
Totally different look and taste.
He gave me a nice sample of this one he calls, "Little Bush".
It was a "one and done", since he has no seeds or clone.
I smoked this one when i got home last night.
I love this treasure and would have considered this an excellent strain!
Like I said, the four that I sampled all have a similar look, taste and bud density.
I will do a proper smoke report later this morning.
The labels rubbed off the bags, but I am a quick study and remembered and re-labeled them last night.
I also have some beans of Rid"s recent work...
Colorado Thunder Fuck (which just moved up the batting order to, "on deck"),
and several other great project beans.
Most of the seeds are connected by lineage and stages of crosses.
I want to grow the Holy Diver also.
My Green Crack is like a shiny sports-car.
It hauls ass, will get you there, but Rids smoke is like a slow creeping tank that will drive right over the top of that shiny car and crush it with old school steel!

Ok...so Holy Diver is very good also!
I couldn't stop at one hit.
I had four.
It gave me a couple real good expansive draws.
I got a little choked up when I got over ambitious.
The Hold Diver socks you between the eyes right away.
It has that light pressure you feel building behind your forehead.
It's almost like someone is inflating your head with fairy dust.
You feel it between the eyes right away, and then it gets a little more foggy.
Not a couchlocker though.
I am on my back porch on a beautiful sunny morn, and the colors and hues are so bright and purty!
I feel like when I smoke a good haze.
I have that light fog, but everything is bright and colorful.
Kind of an oxymoron...Bright fog.
I could do some fishing and hiking on this!

Of all of Rid's I have smoked, I like them all for the following reasons..
CTF, because it was awesome and the buzz had legs.
Namaste for the tatse, smell, beauty all around.
Lil Bush for a serious cutter when you have been smoking other weed all day.
Holy Diver for a quick hard hitter that gives some bright colorful get up and do shit buzz.

That's how it worked for me.
I am going to drop a couple CTF Rid, I want to get that one going soon.
That 1/2 jay we first smoked was the best of all of them!
I would smoke all of them and be thrilled, I just like them in that order.
That Lil Bush was the shit Rid!

Some of my plants have amber hairs already, one in particular, the one I grew out with a flat canopy to practice playing with LST, has loads on every bud but we're only 37 days since the flip. That's what's got my mate convinced they're gonna be ready in a week, but I'm sure they are not that far on! Does it mean anything at all the hairs being amber at this stage?

I don't wanna fill your thread up with massive pictures! They're the most recent pics I've taken, I apologise for having the hps on but I keep forgetting to take them at lights on/off! You can't really see anything very clearly on them, but they're all I've got from within the last week.

Is having brown pistils already anything I need to worry about though?

I will play. This is the first of an un-named cross I made. I had polinated a platinum Bubba with a Lemon OG that I call Bubba Louy. Then I used pollen from a Bubba Louy on a Holy grail and got this. This is week 8 with 30% or so amber.
View attachment 3663215

I also used some Bubba Louy pollen on a Xj13. I have one of those in the greenhouse selfing and need to name it also.
I cannot wait to sample them and see if my efforts have been worth the time.
