ok thanks for the help, just trying to get this down. It's extremely interesting just watching them I squeezed a Cola yesterday, got a huge citrus scent. I think they will be awesome!

Here are some pics of my ladies, they are starting to show off a little. I do have an issue, i mean I just bought a microscope to check out the trichs, but I've read mixed reviews on the flower time. I've seen reviews saying as little as 45 days(6 weeks+/-) and then others say 65-75 days (9-10 weeks) for CRITICAL + I'm trying to estimate how many more weeks, any input is welcome and appreciated!

If you can afford to wait that long cut them at about 56-60 days. You will be thoroughly impressed with the end result.

Im gonna keep an eye on the trichomes, but i kind of don't mind waiting longer. I can't wait for some size to go with the look and smell!

Looking very nice so far Diesel! Mine are stretching life fuck too at the moment. Hopefully will have enough room for them to finish! Regarding finishing time you dont really notice if you let them go an extra week. That was the case with my NL but maybe you would be more eager to chop :) but nothing beats checking the trichomes!

Jondamon has a great journal on the critical +. I copied and pasted one of his quotes from a different thread on the critical +. Make sure you stop by his thread and give him rep if this helps. https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/648200-dinafem-critical-fruity-chronic-juice.html Couple of new pics for you.

Day 54 of 12/12.

Well I can quite honestly say that critical+ is definitely a quick finisher.

For all the Americans out there the critical is fully milky pretty much everywhere I look. I know how you guys like milky trich's rather than Amber's. so you could harvest the critical now IMO.

But I like to get comatosed. Lol.

Well, I've been informed i have an inspection today so everything needs to be hidden. I checked the trichs out last night, and at 47 days, i think they ripe enough to harvest while i have the tent down anyway. Trichs are bulging and all milky! So it's time for the chop. I'll be back with a smoke/dry weight report soon. Hoping to get at the very least, 2ozs per plant. That's at the low end but i don't want to get my hopes up.

My guess is you'll end up with about 300 grams. A nice trick to know if you don't already is to weigh them wet and whatever you get divide that number by 5. This will get you extremely close to your dry weight. Don't smoke it all before you get some nice pics to share lol.

I appreciate the comments F. White. I'm hoping to get at least 300 but if not, oh well. I just want the actual smoke to turn out well.

Nice grow! I like chopping when I see my first amber trich's as I'm not much for couch-lock (I sit on my ass all day to start with). Depending on the strain, trich's can stay milky for a week or two before turning. I found that these last two weeks the buds absolutely pack-up and put on the weight.

well took forever but got all four plants trimmed and hanging in branches. Just gotta make sure i don't mess this cure up. Any recommendations? I think hanging upside down for a short week, then clipped into smaller bud form. Laid out on a hanging dry net...then when ready, put in jars for curing. Burped occasionally.

My buddy and I were wondering if you could make dry ice hash out of wet trimmings and popcorn buds. So tried it and we pulled a half oz of BOMB HASH!! As for the bud, well from the beginning my goal has been 2 ozs per plant. I took them a little early, however, I got 33 grams from the small one that hermied. My next plant was 60, and the next was 66g. And my biggest yeild came from the oldest plant and pulled 95 grams! 254g so just over 9ozs and a half oz of hash total! Not bad in my eyes, for my first time. I have to wait a bit for my next grow because we are trying to buy a house, then I'll have a real grow room!

Not bad at all. I guess including the hash I was close about the weight lol. Nice quality of buds and good luck with that house.
