Wow they look really nice! Totally looks like nice buds for being 4 weeks in. Idk if it's just your camera or what but they look really dark green. What are you feeding with?

I use a product called Budmud so I dont have to do nutes. All I do is once a month I do this thing called Earth Medicine and also Compost Tea. I tried to make it as easy as I could on myself since Im new.

Cool. They look like they might be borderline overloaded with N. I'd lay off or tone down the Nitrogen for a bit. Make sure you're giving them Bloom nutrients at this point. Overall they look really healthy though bro! Impressive! Also, make sure you're giving them some sort of molasses or carbohydrates. Organic is so much fun. Have you looked into Mycorrhizae products? Orca is really good beneficial bacteria for organic grows.

thanks
but again there is nothing I do with nitrogen or bloom nutrients or any nutrients at all
Budmud is soil specifically loaded with what cannabis needs to grow from seed to harvest . I dont even know what nitrogen or bloom nutrients are. My goal is to water, trim, train and do as little as possible so I dont screw them up

Nice philosophy man, looks like it's working! Less is often times more when you're growing ganja. I like your approach!

Look into Mychorrizae though, it's an amazing additive for any grow. It'll really help your girls uptake nutrients and you can't overdo it. Amazing amazing stuff.

Also, all the buds have started to show amber.
Just curious as to what you mean by this??
Most times that term is used to describe when trichomes change color at the end of a grow, if that what you are referring to?
It would seem really early for that to be happening.

Your plant looks great. Keep her happy and be patient.
Good Luck,

And Welcome to RIU, BTW.

Dont worry its a normal part of the process. The white hairs that turn orange are called pistils. Once they have all turned orange and receded, and the buds have gotten swollen looking, you will use a jewelers loupe or USB microscope to look at the crystals on the buds. Those crystals are the trichomes. at first they are clear, then cloudy, then amber. Theres a lot more to it, and when to pull is personal preference. Im sure with a little research you will figure it out.

I like your approach of using a supersoil and keeping it super simple. I try to recommend this approach to new growers since it takes out a lot of the guesswork. You just have to worry about when to water them. Keep up the hard work. A+ job so far.
