Back in the early nineties I tried my hand at growing weed. I had been to Amsterdam and bought some seeds.... can’t remember the strain but it was very grapey tasting. Anyway, I built a cabinet, bought some expensive mercury vapor and HPS fixtures and bulbs from the hardware store and set about starting seeds, making cuttings, and learning as I went. I did ok and grew some passably tasty buds. Never heard of training back then. I grew lots of small clones in a “sea of green” fashion. Long way of saying that this is my first attempt at training plants. Looking forward to seeing how this goes.
I started seed number three in my accursed pot. I’m guessing a bird did number two in by picking mayflies off it as there was a hatch last week and the plant was shredded not eaten.
No fertilizer this week as afternoon rains have kept the pots fairly saturated. I think the whey last week caused the plants to outrun their Fe supply as there was some slight yellowing of young leaves that corrected itself after a day or too. It’s been dry three days now so maybe some more whey tomorrow. The roots should be firmly into the blood and bone meal now so I’m looking for a growth spurt going into preflower.
@ODNTrick, Some CBD growers will harvest as soon as trichomes are only partially cloudy. Others will wait even longer.
To be sure to avoid a psychoactive effect, it would be better to have + 50% amber.
I would like to give you a concrete answer, but this topic is very 'green' and needs more research.

@Sweet_Seeds, since you dropped by, let me ask a question if you. I am reading a lot of conflicting info about maximizing CBD at harvest. I have a handheld microscope to monitor trichomes. They still seem quite glassy. I know THC degrades to CBN as trichomes turn amber. What percent cloudy/ Amber should I be looking for with the Honey Peach CBD to get the most CBD possible. Thanks in advance.
