Decided to remove this last tangerine dream plant im waiting to harvest from my tent as its just to big and cant get the distance with my light even with the plant tied down, its now in my little cupboard i use to have my first small tent in, its nice and clean and all sealed got a light filter and fans in there trichomes seem to be taking forever to change at the min and at this stage i still think i can see clear ones, pictures attatched to my gallery
Hi i am currently on my first ever grow i think 1 of my 3 plants is getting close to harvest, i have pictures on my latest week of my trichomes on plant C could anyone give me any input on to what they think looking at them? I have about 70% amber pistols also thanks for any help
From the pictures, it looks like your trichomes are cloudy and even showing a few ambers, I'd say she's ready now. It's gonna be some dank you definitely tell that.
Upto 112cm now with one of them it keeps stretching out, can anyone help me as to why its happening or how to stop it , its under a 600w HPS lights set at 12" any info much appreciated thanks
Hey man. Need advice. Keep doing what you're doing, she looks great. She has stacked very well and will keep getting fat for you till the end👍👌. If you're looking for a cheap/free way to mitigate her spread/splay outwards, I use a non static cloth to wrap around the lower perimeter, about 1/3rd the way up. It's not to pull in, just for them to lean on something and mitigates the risk of a snap. As for the pistils! Keep checking the trichs, lol. She will constantly push new white pistils or keep the pistils she has and be more white then we'd expect at this stage, sometimes. She'll probably push new pistils till the very end, just not nearly as many. Keep looking for those milky trichs if you want optimal potency. Let er go a bit longer if you like a more narcotic high.
This is less advice then they're tips. You're doing everything very well and you're going to reap some great rewards. Keep it up and trust your gut!!!!
Cheers man. Sorry for the long message, haha
@SativaSteve88, You're making the right moves👍. And that's a clever idea. Look at the bud you have that you like and see what the trichs look like. However, during the drying process those trichs may not look quite the same. But! definitely worth a look to see what % of cloudy there is and what you'll be looking for, for yourself👌
Keep it up Steve! Hope the new microscope works well for you. I personally have such a hard time with them as I have very shaky hands... It's tough to hold still and actually see them. Hope you have steadier hands then me👍
@JinksyGrows, is right jinks nice one for the tips mate, i have a shitty jewellers loupe so hard to focus on trics been gettin a better look through a zoomed in pic but just ordered a better microscope so should be able to check them better going by the reviews that i read, and everyone keeps telling me forget the pistols and comment on the trics o guess i just think it should look like what i smoke sort of as ive never grew anything before haha, thanks la
@HighRoller909, i still have 1 more plant same strain to harvest that im waiting to be ready to cut down so ill complete final harvest in next couple of weeks, im estimating by the looks of the plant around the same results as the one i have just cut down so am looking towards a really good harvest for 3 plants i think, at the beginning i was hoping to get at least 3oz back of atleast 1 of the 3 plants being my first time grow, completely smashed that out the water though so just hopeful its a nice smoke now but smelt well when chopping her down
@SativaSteve88, impressive harvest for a first grow. usually there is about 1/4 of wet weight after drying.just dont let them dry out completely.when stems don't get snapped but still very easy to bend and buds feel dry outside with little pressure between your fingers, it's time to fill the jars.
@HighRoller909, hey this is my first ever grow Plant A i done low stress training on and Plant B got left to just grow naturally both grew a lot taller than i expected and to what it said they grow to, cut down 1 of the plants yesterday that was ready and its got 1042grams of bud on it (37.2oz) barely no stem in that weight, all hanging to dry now on my rack, this being my first time i have no idea what to expect in dry weight could you give me a rough idea what im looking at? Thanks
Hi buddy.
Looking great 👍
You're really close not more then a week to 10 days.
Keep in mind some strains have 3 White pistils sprouts during their live cycles. But your plant is surely about ready.
90% brown pistols buy eye inspection.
10% Amber Trichomes with 90% Milky white with Jewellery loop inspection
Happy Growing
@Vincent11, cheers vincent i have a jewellers loupe but its useless so ordered a better microscope with good reviews in regards to checking trichomes thanks for your help
