Seedlings Praying or lights too close?

Yeah, the lower one's for sure are not as mature. I think in person it's easier to tell but close to 60 percent were orange. I contempleted staggering the harvest but just figured what the hell. The set up with the other plant being much larger blocked a lot of light getting into the lower sections of this one and honestly this one got out competed by the other. The top buds didn't have as many white. But yeah, I knew I was going a little early so I could see for myself what the difference was and which I prefer

I can't see the double branch. There are too many shadows of stems and branches for me and my old eyes to be able to differentiate. I brown bag the trim leaves (not the large fan leaves) until they're dry and then I use a Trim Bin to gather a bunch of kief. Your pistils are pretty white which tells me that this plant still had another few weeks to go.

I got this seed from some straight up dirt weed. So not too worried. I have the nicer one coming if this does end up being a disappointment

Do I need a fan in the closet where I'm drying? It'll be 70-74 in there with about 50-55% humidity

Yes to the fan, but make sure you have it blowing under or over the plant rather than directly on it.

I was thinking of this because I've seen others mention this, but with my minimal amount of light do you think my buds will actually reach full maturity? Less than 100 watts. I've kind of seen progression slow and not drinking as much. I'm letting it go until next week at least, but just wondering if it would be worth continuing to go longer. Trichomes are cloudy with a few amber starting to pop up. A lot of pistils receding but still do have some white pretty straight out. Also the leaves towards to top are starting to get some light burn as I can only have my lght about 11 inches away, when it needs to be 15. I know that may be the issue causing it to slow

The last two weeks are when buds put on the most weight and plants usually start to fade towards their last days which might be the cause for what you might be seeing as light burn. It's really hard to tell without seeing them and even then my guess is as good as yours. I'm sure you'll figure something out and I'm sure there'll be a lesson in there somewhere.

Yeah, I figure I'll just give them the week and decide then as long as buds closer to the light aren't being impacted

So I know typically you need to hang like 5 to 7 days. It hasn't been a full 3 days for me yet but my larger nugs are feeling dry to the touch, not just smaller ones. I don't want to over dry. I bent a stem and it didn't crack or anything yet. What do you use as your gage as to when to bag or jar?

The typical stem snapping rather than bending. I should be using hygrometers in the bags and jars but I'm not. If you think they're dry, jar them up, let them sit in the jar(s) for a few hours and then roll the buds around in the jar(s). If they appear to be clumping together then they're too wet. Depending on how wet they are, you can put them back in the bags until you're ready to have another go at it or you can just take the lid off of the jar but if you do it's probably a good idea to turn the jar on its side to allow more surface area of the buds to be in contact with the air. In all actuality, it's best the keep the buds from touching each other as they dry but not doing so doesn't mean automatic failure.

Yeah, I won't be using that either lol. I had seen where some people hang and then put on a rack for another day or two. I planned on opening the jars 3-4 times a day for a few minutes and moving the bufs around. I'll jar it and keep a close eye on it. I'll definitely check the link though before doing anything just to make sure got all my bases covered

Some nugs still a little wet for me to comfortably put them in jars. I may try the rack the rest of the day and jar in the morning. I did roll one and it burned evenly and got me stoned lol so at least it's good. Not much taste but I know that will come with the cure

Crazy to see the difference just after one day of curing. Starting a 2 day flush then harvesting the other Sunday. Have you ever kept a plant and reveged and flowered again?

Not exactly. I've kept a plant that's flowered, reveg'd it and then used it for clones for almost two years.

Ah yeah the clones probably come out stronger than if you reveg and flower the original huh? I saw to only try to flower it one or two additional times before it's not worth it any more. I may read up on it and try

They were as healthy and vibrant as the mother ..because they were the mother. ;)

It can't hurt but if you do go that route you might want to keep her in soil since it's a little easier to maintain than the AG.
