Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

What you think should i chop this one now, i like it a bit early tho all pistils are brown no white anywhere and my leaves are all fallen. I picked few buds earlier.

One more question, without proper dry and cure there can't be no full potency and taste at all? Asking because i won't let myself to pick early buds anymore from my next harvest.

And big question, is 600w HPS light enough for 4 plants, i plan to get at least 8-10 ounce per plant. Thanks, you have been very helpful love this forum.

Clear trich heads are precursor cannabinoids. Won't do much for you. Clears are the ones that are premature.

Proper dry and cure brings out the flavor, maximum potency potential, and the aroma. You can snip a small bud and dry it quick on a rack for a couple days and then try it. It wont taste like it will after cure n shit but you can still relate to how you want your trichomes.

With this cold weather lately i am afraid i don't see any growth on my plants, they seem to just loose pistils and buds do get a bit thicker. Could they loose potency if temps fall under 12°C? ( plants are outside over day for 3 days already as i can't have them in for some time )

Biggest thing to worry about is moiusture/humidity. You don't want that at all. Pistils would be receeding back into the calyx when nearing harvest.
Do you have a shed or a garage of somesort? A place out of the elements but atleast 60/65 degrees. 12c is what 50-55F? Plants will still grow and fatten up, cold seems to speed up their metabolism' (To a point)The biggest "non kill your plant" problem with cold i experience is nute lockouts sometimes. Usually phosphorous, below 50F, PH lockout happens from 4.0-5.5 and over 7.0 for P A few days in cold weather won't hurt them too bad. Just don't go through 2 frosts already like i have lol..... Another on the way. Don't overwater in too cold of weather also= not good at all. These in pots or right in the ol ground?

MauieWoowie · Oct 7, 2016

Plants are in pots and because one situation here i have to take them out, cant have them in over day, only at nights. Yeah its about 53F temp but goes as low as low 40s. Thanks for answer i will try put them in basement or something, so mad because all was going nicely expect this last days.

Can you tell anything from these pics? I know they're not the greatest.

CrazyFrenchman · Oct 9, 2016

This one is starting week 7 from te day i flipped lights. Original white widow from crop kings, they said done in 7 weeks, but im sure i have a few left what you guys think

Bunduki · Oct 9, 2016

No expert myself but that looks done to me Tigerpaws, if you have a loupe or microscope to look at the trichomes there seems a fairly solid consensus backed by science that milky is what you want, clear is useless, amber is too far, so mostly milky, few amber is around ready.

The 7 weeks starts from when it actually goes into budding CrazyFrenchman and I'm sure that's not ready yet, couldn't say how long though.

This is (we're fairly certain) World of Seeds Pakistan Valley, in flowering for almost 11 weeks now and still not finished, trichs are around 50% milky, 50% clear, no amber.

Any estimate how long I got left please? I've got 8 seedlings and 2 clones ready for a proper grow when my first is done. Plus...it's my first grow, I want to be smoking my own weed! Second pic is a nug about halfway up, 3rd is the cola top left of the main plant shot

What do y'all think? Is she ready?

I have a 25x loop and a 60x led mini microscope. I guess I have horrible eyes because I can tell the difference between clear and cloudy with the loop and the mini led I think I'm seeing mostly cloudy with maybe 1 or 2 amber here and there.

Bunduki · Oct 10, 2016

You want to check the trichs that are sideways to you rather than head on, looking down on a trich from the top they seem to refract the light and look cloudy through my led microscope, lot easier to tell if you move around to find some side on

Thanks. I'll try that. Can you tell anything from this pic? There appears to be some new lime green growth at the tip. At first I thought it was seeds.

Otay.. This is a couple small Sour Diesels toughing it outside. I'm gonna pull them Wednesday. They don't seem to be doing much of anything at this point. Personally I would have liked to leave them for another week but i think the point of diminishing returns is here. I did spot some rot but it's not spreading. IDK.. what do you guys think??

Check your trichomes with a magnifier, but by the looks of the pistils you still have a week or two at least.
