Ths is a lot man... Yeah I still haven't chopped her yet.. I got a jewelers scope and the tricombs are 2/3 cloudy and I like more "couch lock" buds where you want to sleep since I'm an insomniac and very little meds help me but weed just helps 2x as well as any meds will

Thanks a lot man ... I still haven't chopped yet ... I got a jewlers scope and 2/3 of the tricombs are milky so I'm gonna wait until I just start to see a little bit of Amber in the tricombs for that "stoned" high ... And the photoperiod is starting to really bud here's an updated photo of the newly formed buds... P.s I want to see your baby's lol

Haha thanks man ... Someone asked me if kick flip front blunt was a strain of weed so I just went with it ... I can do them on smaller stuff but I like switch nose blunt better ... And I've come too far to chop early ... Im not too crazy about "energetic" bud
Sounds like your ready to go.will get some pics to you. Hope your is some good fire!

I harvested already and it's curing ... I know for next time... But it does smoke nice ... I took a small bud and held it under a blowdryer( I know that the best way) but it tasted great and had a nice smell... it worked and I felt the benefits ... I know the buds could of gotten fatter and I could of waited , which is what I'll do with the the other blueberry and my ak-47.. Here's a pic of the blow dried bud
Looks pretty pretty good maybe a little longer, if it works that's what counts. Curious to see the other ladies! Will update the the widows soon

Just a question... My buds are still drying out .. But they have this "earthy" smell but when you smell the inside of the bud it smells really good ... Kinda citrusy .... With that earthy smell or cut grass smell will that start to break down ( I'm guessing it's chlorophyll ) and start to smell like real bud ... My buds are on day 4 of drying waiting for the smaller stems to snap then off to the jar... And here's the other blueberry and my ak-47 still working on their buds ... Finally found out what strain the big girl was ... How does the big one look .. He colas are getting heavy so I had to take another plant pot fill it will bricks stick a pole in it and tie it to the main stem so it would stand straight up

And this is the half dried bud but it looks nothing like it did when it was on the plant ... Does it look like it's gonna be good ... Haven't tried it yet so maybe you guys can give me an idea

hi there everyone.
i ive been lookn around alot to try figure out this whole harvesting time thing.
ive read all those posts about clear triches=cleaer high, and cloudy mix, amber heavy. and that amber is just degrading THC.
but that doesnt make sense to me, since we have so many different genetics and options. wouldnt the best be to carefully choose ur genetics, and then grow the bud to its full potential ripeness.?
which brings me to the question of, what is actually the full potenetial of ripeness?
there are many many very knowledgable growers, who says full potenetial is 75%amber usually. and that people that harvest at just clear/cloudy are losing out on the full potenetial of the bud. so if i want a clear headed cerebral sativa, to use genetics of a strain known for clear headed cerebral, and grow it to 75% amber. and the best is to just grow out the plant to its full potential, and letting the genetics control the type of high.
so if u want a cerebral clear upper, go sativa and grow to full potential,
and if u want an indica downer, go indica and grow full potenetial.
like in this post over here: https://www.rollitup.org/t/anyne-ever-smoked-overripe-buds.111444/page-12
on one hand i read many opions about harvesting when triches are cloudy,and a touch amber, to get full ripeness.
and to avoid amber.
also ive read that 'amber' only actually degrades the THC and turns the smoke into a downer, is when ur dealing with 100% amber, and letting it sit several many weeks like that.
what is the real deal?
is i actually true that if u grow out a good sativa strain, that is known for a clean focused high, and grow it to 75% amber, that it will become a tiring, confused, drowsy type of smoke?
or if you cut a clean focused high sativa at 50/50 cloudy/clear , that ull be losing out on its full potential?
can anyone with actual expereince doing this please chipe in?
ive put so much time and effort into this grow, i dont wanna chop early. and also i dont wanna chop too late.
looking forward to seeing actaul opinions here
thnks!

IMO when the trichomes are full blown cloudy the plant is at it's peak potential , As they turn amber the thc is degrading to other cannabanoids responsible for the couch lock kind of buzz you speak of. I dont prefer sativa's but I have had them that are full blown amber and they are much more like an indica in buzz comparison. The plant IMO will never be all cloudy at one time, rather a mixture of clear, cloudy and amber with time being the major factor in what ratio they are at. If you like a more upbeat head high then chop it when there clear/ cloudy. If you desire couch lock then chop when they are more cloudy/amber. It really is up to you and what you like and honestly only hands on experience will show you. Hope this helps
BBhey there everyone.
do you think anyone could give me experience if these buds look ready?
theyre both sativa dom strains. week 10 into flower.
i bought these strains cause i was looking for something that has a focused, cerebral high, and still be functional. some ambers are popping up. however i dont wanna harvest to early and lose potential of the genetics.
STRAIN 1: CBD medi haze (breeder flower time 9-11 weeks)
notes: mostly cloudy, some clear, some amber.
(p.s. CBD crew told me to harvest it when 75% amber in order to maximize potential. however i dont want couchlock. this is a CBD 2:1 strain. but wahts unique about it, is that its sativa dominant.)
STRAIN B: Maui waui. (breeder time. 9-10 weeks)
notes: this one is confusing me. i see a mix of cloudy and clear, and at the same ambers have started popping up over the last week. but the ambers seem to be coming on, while the clears are staying cloudy. for example, i see a clear triche, that starts becoming amber, without becoming cloudy. and i see cloudy triches that are not amber yet.

Many many growers can say whatever they like, if you chop at 75% amber then 75% of your tric's have degraded to the point where you have lost up to 90% thc to cbn. It's science!hi there everyone.
