How do the trichomes look? Close to harvest? Sorry for bad quality.

Hi guys,

This is my first grow. Almost killed my babies by underfeeding and underwatering them on week 5 (lost all fan leaves), but they seem to have bounced back. Its day 87, should have finished by now (based on grow diaries on this strain), but my underfeeding might have delayed the harvest a week or two probably

1) Sorry for bad quality (my hand was shaking etc), you can tell me right away - "you cant see anything" - and I will delete the thread.

Do the trichomes look more clear or cloudy? I didnt see a single amber one.

Strain: Banana kush auto by anesia seeds
Day 87
3x3 tent ,
390watt of light (kingbrite +mars ts1000)
temps a little too high - about 90 fahnrenheit
Humidity decent - about 40%

P.S. Dont have a decent phone camera currently, so cannot give you full sized photos - sorry for that...

While plant pictures please

Ok, Ill get those in a few days. Will have a new phone.

When the pics are blurry the trichomes look more cloudy than they are. I see quite a bit of clear, 2 or 3 weeks I'd say

Don’t look at trichs on leaves only buds

Thanks, Ill post better pics in 2-3 days, then Ill tag you, ok?

Pics of entire plant with bud pics - zero need for macro shots of triches.

Full plant photos will tell more.

Guys, I added full plant pictures.
Tried to take another trichome pic, but my hand is just not steady enough, will need a tripod lol.


PROBLEMS during grow:
a) Almost killed them on week 5 due to underfeeding. All fan leaves yellowed and died.,
b) Days 70-90 from seed have been 90-100 F in tent - much too ho for an indica.
c) Nute burn after I underfed them. I think nute burn is also visible in pictures, yes?
d) Took smaller/lower buds for test (feel a decent effect, but not too strong) and hey had 2 SEEDS.
Havent seen more seeds, but they may have hermied from the stress right?




1)Is it visible that the plant almost died on days 30-37?
2) Does the browning of calyxes is normal or the heat might be the problem? From day 70 to day 88 it has been 90-95 fahnrenheit inside the tent, and its an indica, I also have no AC sadly.

3) Now that you see decent full plant pictures and bad quality (sorry) trichome pics - any guess, how long to go? The plant seems to be starting to drink less. Usually I water 2.5 - 3 liters (its a 12 litre pot) and it takes about 80-96 hours to dry. Last week has been 96+ hours to dry.

Also the white pistils have been receding/not developing any new ones for the last week

Thank you for your input, have a nice day!

Dont make me worry dude
Why the sad face?

I know I messed up the plant several ways, but, thankfully, it does get me high hehe. I tested some lower buds, decent, not amazing, but decent

I would call it a learning experience and start a new grow

I am starting a new grow as soon as I take this poor baby down
I was just hoping that you or someone else pointed out how messed up it looks from 1-10 and hat are the worst issue you see

Also, the harvest timing thing

Screw harvest time
It’s all skewed once all those sugar leaves die
It doesn’t matter how long you go it won’t reach optimal potency and will taste like dung
Sorry
I would cut my losses and move on

Thanks for the harsh truth. Now I have to decide, if there are risks in waiting a bit even to see 1 amber trichome lol. I assume you are right about not reaching its potential but the question is if there is more growth/thickening possible, even if its small.

Why do you think the sugar leaves got so brown and crunch?
Could it be either nute burn or heat or a combination of both? Maybe it goes back to almost killing them in week 5 even...

Thanks for answering my quesions

Haha, this is a bit comical.
I asked the same question elsewhere and someone said "The plant is done growing and is killing off the sugar leaves. I’d trim the dead ones off before you dry it because dead leaves can sometimes cause mold/rot issues. Can’t tell much from the trich pics .As far as your plant goes it looks, like you did a good job lollipopping her, and training her , looks about as chunky as autos get good job"

You both seem to agree that the plant is killing off sugar leaves and is ready. Yet the other user was quite more positive.
Its fascinating how with several topics in cannabis community the opinions often differ. Watering every day or wet/dry cycles and many similar examples.

I do tend to agree with you more though, since I know how I messed her up and the plant doesnt look frosty at all.

50 something years of growing is my source
We never had YouTube lol

Yeah I'd hang that one today, i did see some white pistils still. I bet it's still fairly decent smoke. Be proud, this is your first run and you didn't kill it! Good job man
