Week5: Kermit is doing well. Bushing out and growing all over the place trying to catch up with her sisters. Big difference in only 3 days.
Well Kermit is fast approaching flower time, she's showing pistils like crazy already in Week 5 - She's so much faster than her sisters. She looks really healthy albeit she didn't go through a huge stretch period. She may still stretch some more though before starting to really flower.
Gr.Masters & those of whom have many grows/chops-HELP!: This is my first grow; I've researched a ton of info/videos & using a microscope. I'm still arguing with myself. Cloudy, no Amber yet. Do I have another (approx) 2 weeks left? Looking for a little couch lock so 10-15% amber?
Amber means oxidised trykes, it might create more terps or wierd compounds, but you really don't want any of it. All cloudy, no amber is the peak potency, anything more than 15% amber and its character will change for the worst. If you're all cloudy no ambers you're in the perfect window. Trykes take 2 weeks to rippen , dont let them get rotten though ! 🚀
@soonerschwab,
Yes but very little, .5 tsp of cal-mag plus, kelp, and maybe Alaska fish emulsion first couple of weeks but that's it. She's in soil so I didn't want to over nute her. Hope that helps! Happy growing!

@CRiSPrGrow,
Thank you for your reply, comments, and suggestions. I've read that some people wait a very long time meaning 25-30% amber because they like the effects. I've never tried my own grown meds and How I like my high, lol. I guess I have to figure out at what points I like the medicinal effects. Reading about the effects on blood pressure. Due to recent health events, I need to figure out a non-pharma way to lower blood pressure.
@HighTV,
Sorry I didn’t realize this question was still open. I have to figure out how to see open questions so I can add my noobish experience thus far, hehe.
There wasn’t much amber on this Blueberry, however the tricombs were mostly cloudy when I chopped her. After vaping the cured buds - sometimes the high was energetic and other times it had more of a relaxed, body sedative-like effect. So a mix of mostly cloudy isn’t a bad thing at all, it’s just a different effect.
I grew an Amnesia Haze from ILGM also and even though it was grown in the same amount of days, it had much more Amber 15%-ish and that one is mostly a body high, yep I’m stoned kind of high.
@ToadieK,
Thank you! She smells like blueberry candy and bubblegum. Patience is a virtue now... waiting for a tiny bit of amber on trichomes and then chop. Probably 2 more weeks?
