wOW. They are really big! So cool. I have 2 that are pretty tall, but the others are short and fat. Im still waiting for the pistils to get a little more orange. The Trichomes are more cloudy than clear so its conflicting to me. When do you usually Harvest?

Really depends on the strain/plant. I just use a jewelers loop and keep an eye on them, when I get 10-20% amber they are gone. I usually pull a little early on the sativa's cause I love the strong thc soaring high.

In SoCal its not out of the ordinary to have a early September harvest on some plants. That Pineapple express I pictured prob has a couple weeks to go. The Blue Dream might even come in next week.

Then I have 5-6 that are really early in flower, they wont be ready till Oct Im sure.

Well first one in and she is an early girl. Blue dream. Will be cutting down tonight. IMG_20220902_081439.jpg

Been keeping a close eye on this one with the jewelers loupe, about 20% amber as of this morning. I actually usually like to take the sativa's in at about 10% but I let her go on a bit as she seemed to want to stack some more on.

Yup she came down last night. In the drying tent as we speak. Certainly quite early but nice and bulked out all the same. I wish I knew more about the lineage, It was a free seed I got from somewhere just marked blue dream with no breeders mark.

How are you plants doing in this heat? I had to cover mine up with a pop up tent. They are on concrete in pots so they were getting scorched.

Doing good, I have mine on an automatic drip system. Works out great though I had to turn it up a bit. As long as they are hydrated they do fine.

We do as well. I believe we do it 2 times a day, once in the morning and then another around 3 or 4. how long do you run yours for?

Currently I run it 12x a day at either 5-10minutes a pop depending on temp. Im running 1/2gph emitters. That way they never get dried out. I have been hand watering them once in the morning when its been past 105f, lately thats been allot.

Wow!! Thank you for the info. i might have to up my amount of water. We put the 6in .5 gph drip line so there is like 10 holes of water on each plant. When the timer goes off, i can see lots of water running out of the plants. We have them in 10 gallon fabric pots, like yours. I just feel like they are getting flushed out....idk.
