well the bubba are on day 60 half the hairs are orange havnt checked the trichs ,,,, when is a good time to pull them when all the hairs are orange and the trichs are cloudy ??? or amber?
Most of us watch our trichs...amber usually leaves couchlock and is sign that the plant is past her peak, but it depends on what you're looking for.

Watch your trichs, not the hair.

Some plants will slow down pistil production as ripeness nears, other strains keep pushing out new white pistils for up to a month longer even though the trichomes have gone from milky to mostly or all amber.
By watching the trichomes instead of the pistils, you will know about what kind of high you'll get.

Cloudy/milky will be a head high and allow you to do things while buzzing.

Amber trichomes will give you more of a body high and might induce lethargy and even sleepiness.

Just depends on which kind of high you are looking for, and what strains you are growing so you'll have an idea of the normal length of flowering so you can start watching the trichomes to harvest when desired.

You can also harvest some with milky trichomes, and some later with amber, so you can do a direct A/B comparison between the two.
That would also allow you to mix bud harvested with milky trichomes with bud harvested with amber trichomes to get a mix of mind & body high. ;-)

I plan on having the shed free in a week. I am gonna put out 2-4 ladies out there in 45-55 gal smart pots. I want hugeee trees!!! I am talikng Jorge Cervantes status.
I dont know how tall they and wide they will get, but I have high hopes.:twisted::lol:
45-55 gallon smartpots seems a bit overkill, are you trying to grow sequoias over there ;)

bass- if your shed your loosing a lot of light to the walls and IMO your not going to be some real big plants. i think for your situation you did real well.
thanx!
I am thinking about removing most of the back wall and putting in mesh to get more hours of direct sun for the next grow since they wont need me to emulate 12/12

I want to see what the limit is, I mean how big can I grow them. Is the pot size in gallons directly proportional to the yield. Maybe next year in mid may do 100 gallon smart pots if this years plants do as I hope.

Do have a quick question for the Six Oh Oh. How close u guys running ur lamps? I have mine about four inches away its cool enuff to keep my hand on it I just don't wanna start crisping fans u know. I know and can obviously SEE the output is hella more as compared to the 400 and id run them too close almost touching. Anyway thanks for the input and knowledge ahead of time. Am I good where I'm at?

IMO a smart pot that size would be overkill... I have seen 7ft + tall plants inside a 10 gallon smart pot... Maybe 15 or 20 gallons would do you good, but 50 gallons of soil X however many plants is a shitton of dirt

I keep mine about 14" away maybe but I'll have to double check that tomorrow when the lights come on. I have also ran them closer but feel like I loose that even footprint and have a "bright spot" directly under the light... So if mine are farther away then 14 inches its just because I like the spread at that spot. Iv done plenty of reading on it and in the end just threw it out the window and went with what looked nice and even without being so far away that im loosing lumens. Just my 2 cents, youl notice allot of us do things differently but were never trying to jam our practices down other peoples throats, just sharing info and showin off :-) nothing is written in stone and every situation is unique :-D I love das 600.

Im with you all the way on big containers but just make sure your plant is gonna get big enough and you dont waste the soil, get a nice veg on that girl. Im a firm believer in more roots = more fruits :-) If done right youl have a plant 8 feet round and tall with multiple lbs on her.

couldn't of said it better whodat!!!!

i run my lightt ontop of my plants, they are so close it's like a bloody underground train carriage at rushhour. Max distance is probably about 4 inches - 6 inches on my vertical light.
