Everything is going great in the garden. Flowering has started now and you see al the little bud sites. I'm really curious to see how this turnes out π The left one is 93cm and right one 73 cm so I put her on a shoebox to get them at the same height more or less.
Looking at your trichomes, you still got plenty of clear trichomes (picture 4 of 13). Your buds looks good and ready for flush. Now it depends on what kind of medicine you're looking for, High or Stoned ?
The hardest part is to finish your flush at the same time than your trichomes preference. The most important part is to finish your flush before chopping her down, to avoid smoking nutrients, to get a nice and smooth smoke.
In soil media , you might need 1-2 weeks of flushing depending on how many nootz you used during bloom cycle.
@Bstoner,you might need a few more weeks then , wait for trichomes to turn amber and let the THC degrade into CBN . 2 weeks flush before harvesting shall be plenty enough.
@JUNGLE_B4RNS,
Indeed I'm looking for a more stoned effect. I need all the trichomes cloudy and a couple of amber to have that effect.
I checked the trichomes on a lot of spots ( top buds, lower buds) and I think the lower ones still have some clear trichomes.
Let's hope she is ready in 2 weeks and otherwise I leave them another extra week, I guess that flushing 3 weeks won't do them wrong ?
@Mr_Matics,thanks, i think i'm gonna tie my side branches to the thicker ones so i'm sure they won't break down, they're really leaning to much outwards, it's getting real sketchy
Looks decent bro! im building my grow space with a week of as we speak :P first time & ill be doing the exact same seed :D advice is always welcome! ill be running it with a 300w mars hydro π½
What kind of lens did you use to image the trichomes? Thanks to you and @JUNGLE_B4RNS for the discussion of flushing and trichome color, as it's useful for me!
@TheFairyBudMother,
It's a cheap hand microscope from ali express π There is a piece to attach it to your mobile phone but it's not easy to take pictures with it but good enough to check the trichomes.
@BreakingBud,
Thanks man! They start to smell a little fruity when I open the jars, It's a mix between lemon and the smell of fresh hay but the last one is disappearing :)
@Mr_Matics,thanks ! I guess i'll be chopping her down in about a week or 2, can't really tell yet as i'm gonna see how the trichomes develop. I'm gonna try to chop her down when about 90% of the trichomes are cloudy.
I don't know why you're on my diary asking for advice, you have a tent of skyscraper looking buds over here!! What a beautiful sight, you must be feeling good about this π
@Book_of_Thoth,hehe thanks dude ! Let's say i'm slowly climbing out of the noob brackets here. Growing became a hobby since i started with it, really fascinated by it aswell, thus i try to learn as much as possible !
@Bstoner,
Neat dude! I just love growing new strains every grow so I can smell the differences. About a year or so into this hobby and it still amazes me how different they can smell.
@Grimbol, I'm curious if you really taste the lemon. You can smell it already which is nice to be stealthy because it's not the typical weed smell :D Thanks! I'll update with a smoke report later on!
