Those are looking pretty good bro .... theyll be swelling up right about now or very soon ... watch for new pistils shooting out by the bunch and watch for when theres fewer pistils shooting out and more pistils turning orange and receding .... you will see the colas getting fat and needing some support .... when that happens, youll know youre very close. Also when you see the pistils turning more orange/red, get yourself a magnifyimg loop and evaluate the trichomes you want about 20% amber and rest mainly cloudy.....if you want more of a stoney buzz (rather than a head high) wait for more trichomes to be amber (like 40% or even more)
You can also harvest your girls in 2 stages. Harvest the ripen top buds first allowing the lower half to mature more as the top colas dry .... a week or 2 later you can harvest the lower buds ..... you can also harvest yoir buds eith different amber trichome ration .... (like get a jar or 2 of less or equal to 20% amber ... another jar with like 30-50% amber) this way you get 2 different effects from the same girl
Good luck brother

So my Bublicious is all clouded up. It's at day 59 of flower.
Just wondering when you started your flush?
Should I just start flushing it now that its cloudy or should I already have begun etc?
Thanks ¦0)

See .... its different between strains and also phenos. Like when I grew the liberty haze, the trichs were cloudy for a month before I harvested it and they stayed cloudy with only few scattered amber trichs
Id say once ya hit the breeders flowering estimate, start paying attention to 2 things:
Trichomes
Overall ripeness look of the buds!
Once ya see them fat and no new white pistils shooting (or very rare ones pop out) and mostly orange hairs that are receded , fat buds etc, its time!
They always say, wait another week when you think its ready .... lol that just goes to tell ya its always best to wait .... the final days are crucial for completing the cannabinoids profile .... the smell will get even better

Thanks!

I shouldn't need to bother you anymore now. It's just always good to get a bit more educated whenever possible. ¦0)
The trichomes were clear until 2 days ago. Still have white pistols in the main cola as well. I'll keep an eye!
I'll have more updates right up to the cure and finished product back on my thread if your interested.

Thanks again dude

Dude youre not bothering me. Ask whenever ya uave a question.
With ripeness and figuring out when to harvest, thats going to come with experience .... the more ya grow and see buds develop, then more familiar youre with how theyre supposed to look towards the end keep the bud porn photos coming

Day 57 of flowering (weekly) update:
Things are going well for the most part. I think i saw a male part on one of the CBD critical cure buds and i clipped it off .... i looked around to see if there are any more but i couldnt find any more. So anyway ... although thats not something I want to see towards the end of flowering, lets just hope this was an isolated issue or that it wasnt even a male sex organ .... time will tell and if i want to base this on previous grows, a few Barneys farm seeds that i germinated ended up hermaphrodite later. I really hope thats not going to mess with my potency (i really dont care that much about the yield)
So the topoff res got topped off with 35L of RO (2x 17.5L bottles), 10ml Armor Si, 30mls Cal-Mag+ and 8mls Floralicious plus.... then i added bloom to a final ppm of 750!
Here are some pics of the canopy and buds ;-)

Til next update closer to chop chop, happy growin yall :-)

Day 64 of Flowering (weekly) update):
Girls look like theyre at the end of their flowering. The deficiencies are starting to show a bit on the leaves and the leaves are changing color slightly ..... the only one shooting out pistils is the CBD critical cure and shes doing it by the bunch. The blueberry is getting frosty (see pics below) and i feel the trainwreck was more indica than I thought. I feel she might have finished her flowering already (like around or even before the blueberry) .... The Trichomes on the blueberry are almost all cloudy with scattered rare amber. The critical cure is mainly cloudy eith a few clear still. Anyway, the chop chop process is starting very soon. Ill start with the blueberry clipping her top colas and leaving the lower buds to ripen a little and get mote light while I clip and dry the critical cure and trainwreck, leaving the amnesial lemon for last. I will be clipping the top growth first allowing the lower some extra time with more light.
Thoughts n ideas are welcome here.
My thoughts on this run is that i shouldnt run 4 unknown strains under this very tight (2x2 inches) scrog screen in this tent (one front door to access the scrog screen only and no back or side door). The crowding above the screen is not letting enough light down. The defoliation i did wasnt close to being enough although better than nothing. This scrog screen will be restrung to be either 3x3 or 4x4 inches. I topped off the topoff res as last time :-)
