Found out. The more the magnification is not better. I went to radio shuck and got a mini microscope 60-100x for $12.95. Lucky they took it back and exchanged for this $8.99 that works just fine. Now I can see my trics just fine.

You are welcome

I'm pretty sure that SimonDs 'Thank you' was aimed at what I wrote earlier about flawed image in this thread.

This is what he quoted when he wrote 'Thank you':


k0ijn said:
You want to harvest with as close to 100% cloudy trichomes as possible.
This will ensure fully realized THC, at it's peak, and give you most out of your crop.


Back to the image in this thread.
It was made a while back by a guy who didn't really know what he was was talking about, it has been fluctuated around the internet many times and a lot of people think it's valid. It' isn't.

I had another grower from Kansas come out last summer to review some of the weed I grew and cured using the bag method. You can check his stuff out here


When I finally did get to my last destination, this was waiting for me: A jar of white widow and a jar of some unidentified purple strain. I was told I could do whatever I wished with these.


This stuff is about 7 months old. Unbelievable quality, unbelievably smooth. Probably the strongest weed I've ever had. A few puffs on this would put an elephant to sleep.


This Purp is a mystery, but the weed is top-notch. Resembles my blueberry stuff, and was not quite as destructive to your motivation, but still top notch weed. Fruity tasting, and very pretty. Frosty!


I bought that bubbler in SF, for the trip. I decided not to try to bring the weed home, even thought it was given to me. I brought a bit with me on the plane, but this is nearly two ounces of fire dank- didn't want to explain that. . . So I smoked as much as I could before I left- but let me tell you, with weed this fookin' strong, you can't really smoke very much at a time- it's sort of self limiting. Badass though.

jaring weed is not curing weed. it is simply called jarring. then you can burp them to keep fresh. curing is right after u cut the buds down. put the bud n a dark room and keep 65-70 deg 40% humidity the bud remains alive or viable for a small period of time if u keep dark and cool. during the time the bud will fully ripen and become maximum potent. all this guy is doing is drying his weed- then calls jarring weed curing. this method is wrong! yes it will dry your weed and make it smokeable but it will not give you a well cured bud.

Wrong? Read the post above yours.

Some folks are so impatient to argue about anything, they won't even bother to read the whole thread.
[Dry Time:
Try and find a cool, dark, preferably ventilated space such as a closet, basement, or winter attic......
Let them hang for three days (72 hours).
Always store your jars in a cool, dark, and safe location.
It's ok, you are not the first to do it. Also, I find weed that is cured to be a smoother and better tasting then just dried.Glad I can help.

Relax Rumple.
We have asked you in a nice way, no banter or harassment.

The "subtle" hints you drop in your posts to these "incidents" (common questions and poking holes in your 'factual' information) are tbh quite offensive.

And let me repeat, you have posted an image in your thread which is _not_ factually nor scientifically accurate.
This is not a 'simple step by step harvest & cure guide' if you have wrong information in it.

Nobody is impatient to argue about nothing, stop overreacting.

Also, I find weed that is cured to be a smoother and better tasting then just dried.
What are you talking about? Everybody does.
Nobody said different, why do you have to state the obvious (that cured weed > uncured weed)?

Sorry if I offended you and I am pretty relaxed. You tried to tell me I was not allowing my plants to dry long enough before bothering to read the whole post.. Sorry but I had to correct you. Did not mean to make you mad but you did not give it a chance before trying to find fault in what I wrote.

Now you have a problem with one of the pictures? You don't agree with the information in it? Thats cool, use your own method.
This is the method I agree with (and thousands of other growers). Lots of us like to see amber trichomes before harvesting (it's fine that you don't). I can find a lots of authors and other good sources who use this method as well. For every person you say the pictures is not science, I can find some one who will dispute it. This is not such a bad thing my brotha, we are all trying our best to grow the best weed possible. To be honest, I don't like that picture and would pull it off if I could still edit that post, the quality is real bad and almost un-readable. Also, I did not want to make a post on when to harvest, I just put it in so folks could see some sort of reverance that was not mine. I also said (if you bothered to read it)
I can't tell you the exact time to chop your plant down. Some research can tell you how long to flower your strain for best results or you can check trichome color. Either way, you will have to do a bit of trial and error to find the very best day to chop the girls down
So you don't like that picture..... Let it go and move on (don't get so mad).

Lets go back to the first thing I wrote (please read it this time):
I have been asked a number of times about harvesting and curing. I understand that there are as many ways to cure marijuana as there are marijuana strains. It seems that no two growers do it alike.

Lets go back to the first thing I wrote (please read it this time):

I asked you about the 3 day dry time you had in your 'guide'.
I didn't see that you also dry for 3 days in bags, I was not trying to "find a hole in your setup", I asked a simple question.
I did not get mad about that neither.


I don't 'have a problem with it' per se, I just think it's wrong to put a factually and scientifically incorrect (and old) image in a 'guide'.
It has nothing to do with "method".
It has everything to do with science and being right or wrong, and thereby providing proper information or wrong and misleading information.
I'm not mad at you for doing it, we all see this happening on this forum each day, in many subjects and categories.
I still think it's wrong though, and misleading (especially to new growers who don't know what to believe and believe a lot more than they should).

Stick with the science is what I say, we are growing plants, it's a science, there are right and wrong ways to do things (many a piece).

I'm not surprised that you and thousands of other people are wrong, it happens a lot, for every grower.
But presenting wrong information as factual information is not helpful to anyone.
It's not about "seeing amber trichomes at harvest", again you are stating an obvious fact, every grower gets amber trichomes, unless you have no clue what you're doing and harvest several weeks early.
I have amber trichomes on my plants as well, I however minimize their presence because CBN does not contribute properly to a fully realized high.


I'm not saying that trichomes changing colour and thereby gaining and losing new substances (mainly THC degrading into CBN) is not a science.
I am saying the image you presented is a wrong image, which was made by a person who didn't know the scientific facts.
It was known 20 years ago what cause an energetic high and what caused a couch lock high. That is mainly the reason why Sativa and Indica are revered whereas Ruderalis is sort of placed on the side.

I realize you wrote that trial and error is the best way, and I would tend to a agree to a degree with that, but providing proper and valid factual information is key to helping people learn.

All these myths which are thrown around and repeated always end up gaining huge support even without those believing in it know whether it's actually scientifically valid and fully factual.

K0ijn, you never read anything, you just try and troll... I did not write this post to tell anyone when to harvest. I said I can't tell you . Need me to post that again for ya?

You use the word science real loose. I believe in the method of watching trichome color and I also know you are dead wrong with your facts and your so called proof. Most good growers look at trichome color (I am sure a few don't , we have seen that low quality bud a few times). Toss out a few phrases and say it's a well know science and then it is? I think not.

I have had lots of good growers sample my harvest, do you need testimonials? Lets see a few of your harvests.

You don't use my method? Oh well , but don't call your method scientific fact and all the rest of us hurtful to new growers. Don't like what I am saying? Make your own thread after you have your first harvest and show us all how it's done.

Please quit trolling this thread with your nonsense.

Now I'm a troll?


How is growing Cannabis using science 'loose?
It's biology, micro biology, chemistry and a whole lot of other sciences.

You know I'm dead wrong?
Where is the proof you speak of? I asked you to show it to me, and you haven't.
Instead you apparently know I'm wrong.
Another experienced grower said thank you to me for posting the updated version of the trichome colour image, and you thought he was thanking you, what exactly are you trying to twist around here?
We are tired of seeing this forum being fluttered with inaccurate and misleading information.

Again, I'm not talking about your 'method', I'm talking about the misleading image of trichome colours and details on them you have posted in the first post, not your drying method, not your curing method, the image.
It's an old, wrong image. This is what I have been saying all along, I'm not trying to attack you or degrade your opinion on how to grow.
I'm saying that you have posted a factually incorrect image. Other people have agree with me on this, I have not seen one experienced grower agree with you on your image (saying CBN is what causes couch lock effect high).


Again, I ask you to present me with the 'proof' you are talking about.
You said you had many kinds of proof, from "authors and other places", please show it to me.

Here is one (from good grower) https://www.rollitup.org/harvesting-curing/385918-simple-harvest-cure-step-step-2.html#post6842495

It's called biology, micro biology, chemistry and a whole lot of other sciences. <--This is what I based my facts on.

Medical Growers like myself use the mix of compounds for pain relief. Watch Weed Wars on Discovery, the owner of the biggest legal bud store on earth talks about this a lot. Not all pot growers are growing for hippies going to a Fish concert. The stuff I grow is real strong and takes the pain away (great mix), what more do you want?
I did not add the comments to that picture you hate (came that way). If you don't like what you see, "turn the page".

Please no more trolling, this thread is for learning not flaming.

Damn, you are ridiculous.

You link to this same thread, what some guy wrote about the quality of your weed. It has nothing to do with the trichome colour image you have on the first page of this thread. You said you had proof of how the image concerning trichome colours was correct or not.
You said you had proof from authors and "many other" sources.
However all you do is yap on about how your method is fine (which is completely off topic) and you cannot display any proof of what you have said.

This is turning into you just posting whatever is on your mind, you are not answering my questions, not showing any proof, and you are _still_ wrong about the image.
I'll repeat myself again, it's an old image, an OUTDATED image, not made by a person who knows his Cannabis.

I don't care about Weed Wars or Discovery or wether you are a medical grower, it has nothing to do with this discussion.

And you keep saying I am trolling you, all I do is provide valid information and you take offense because you are so fixed on an outdated image and won't listen to any reasoning.
I don't care what you do, do what you want, but I will not let you mislead people.

Get over it. Nothing I can do about the image (this thread is over 30 days old). I ask you again to quit trolling this thread. Google that image and find the other sites using it and troll them. I gave you proof and you dismiss it. Your obsessed with that image that I gave as an example on what folks use to decide harvest time. You fail to read anything and only look at pictures. Read this one more time:
I can't tell you the exact time to chop your plant down. Some research can tell you how long to flower your strain for best results
After you have a harvest or two of your own, you might change your mind about when to cut down.
I need to keep things on topic and that is not my topic. So beat it troll.

PLEASE STOP TROLLING THIS THREAD

Hahah rumple thanks for the guide I've looked over your threads on some other sites and found them to be helpful. Gotta try the bag method next round.

Trolls pop up you just can't feed them ;)

I here you brotha, this site has the trolls real bad. Moderators won't help, I know one of the admins (friends from another site), I shot him an email. It is one thing to get trolled by a good grower, but to have a new grower go at me is just wrong.

You gave no proof, the 'proof' you gave was a link to some guy who got some weed off of you and he liked it, that was it.
How the hell does that prove anything about trichomes?

Just keep repeating the same bullshit..

New grower?

You are ridiculous, and wrong.
I guess only experienced growers know you are wrong.

The amount of bullshit posted on this forum is getting out of hand, nobody but a few challenge it.
It's incredible.

How many time do I need to ask you to quit trolling this thread? I would like to get back on topic.
Was hoping you would apologize for ruining a good thread.
I am all about peace and not into your PC gamer bashing contest.
Please leave now.
