I don't feel so bad about harvesting when I did now based on this document. I did wait another week after this pic though because too many of you were on my a$$ about them not being done. :eyesmoke:

Don't let other people tell you when to chop that's all subjective... Good advice though is to wait for at least 50% cloudy tricombs the rest is up too you ... If you like a speedy more clear high go with a ratio involving more clear tricombs ... If you like a more of "stoned" narcotic high wait for more Amber ( which is an indication of degrading THC aka CBN)... The cloudy tricombs is the THC at the hight of its potency so mostly cloudy is a good base then choose the type of high you like. More Amber means more " I'm not moving off this couch" .. More clear means "let's go build us something awesome"

To be honest I only gave nutes to my girls just to inhibit flowering and about 3 weeks after they flower hen I stop all nutes and just water ... But flushing should be done a week before and the way I do it is just pour copious until the water flows from he bottom about 3 liters

Interesting on the nuts, have been curious about the amount to use. So many products. May cut back on use.

Nutes
Click to expand...
I use nutes just to inhibit bud site growth and once I start to see flowers I stop... But if you do this you need to pay attention to the color of the leaves for example if your fan leaves are starting to turn limegreen add a little bit of nitrogen to the soil to keep your leaves greener but like I said I only give nutes when the plant seems like they need it otherwise I just use nutes to inhibit flowering and inhibit bud sites

Great thanks, been over doing it. So much hype about what to use. Going to scale back and try your method, ses to make sense. Thanks again!

Here's the result of that method ... Just finished snipping buds ( took me 2 hours) ... This was my first photoperiod and the smell is 20x more powerful than my auto fems and about 10x more yield ... Bud is still a bit moist in the middle which will start to come to the outer dryer parts of the buds increasing smell and potency... That's why its a little dark ... Tell me what you think.. Does it look normal lol

Buds look awesome. When I was trimming the girls, I knocked a nug off so I've got that in a jar, curing. Let it sit out in the garage in the dark for to days before putting in the jar. Parent plant still in ground, trichomes are still mostly clear. I figured waste not want not.

They were out of White Widow when I bought seeds. Got the Purple Kush instead. Let me know how your widow turns out. Gonna grow some next year.

They look good, right path but you still have a lot of white hairs at the top that are standing straight up ... Wait till these curl up and turn orange/red ... Stop all nutes once white hairs start to curl and flush with 3-5 liters of water

thats what i thought, the last 2 waterings i gave them nutes and the top hairs r more orange but still not curl in, maybe just add some water until the flushing?or u still advice to continue with nutes?
Normally i flush arround 8L(for pots of 4L)is it too much?in the first flushing with FF and the second with plain water

To be honest I only give nutes when the plant is in veg stage ... Then once I start to see pre flowers and Bud sites I stop all nutes and just give them water .... this works extremely well for me .. But you need to keep a close eye on he leavesif they start to turn lighter green give a little nitrogen ( although it is normal for fan leaves to turn yellow and die towards harvest time) make sure the leaves you check are the ones protruding from the buds

How much does temperature effect your trichome production? I got one plant that lets just say... is not so frosty. She was furthest away from my cooling system. I wonder will it still smoke good with a nice cure?...Hmmmm
