The very bizarre feeling that after spending six hours reading this entire thread you have traveled through time. Interesting. It's like a novel, only the hero (plant) always dies in the end. Holy cow. What just happened to my brain? Interesting experience. Great thread, funny too.
The hero gives his life, so that others may live.
I've found that I can't distinguish clear trichomes from cloudy; maybe it's my middle age failing eyesight. But I CAN see the amber ones, so I've been using that; around 10% (to 15-20 for me) to gauge ready-ness.
My main 6 plants were all Purple Maroc, and AFAICT, the breeder description was right for me. Mid September I got the first 3 and now at end September I've started on the last 3.
And... since this is also a curing thread, let me just say I love "water curing". I know most people much prefer the tastes and smells of air-cured, so it's not for everybody.
But it's very easy to do, at least somewhat hard to screw up, it doesn't make the house or shed/garage smell of weed and freak out the wife (and self).
And it's easier to smoke in public, or in the house due to lack of smell. I can enjoy the tastes and smells with friends from time to time, but as a "chronic medicine", and that is mostly vaped, I can't say anything bad about it except that some people will never understand why you would "ruin" the weed by dumping it in water.
No, it doesn't get moldy underwater, as long as the water is changed once or twice a day, and you ensure the buds are underwater and not floating on the water-air interface.
bookmarked this for 3 months time!
Harvest according to the state of the trichomes. It's all covered, with photos, at the beginning of this thread.
