CanadaGrownstarted grow question 5 years ago
First grow, got a cheap digital microscope. Just looking for thoughts on what I'm seeing ie. milky, clear, amber. I'm thinking it looks mostly clear with some turning milky.

You are spot on, they are mostly clear. Just be sure the buds are done gaining weight before getting ready to harvest.

Hey CanadaGrown!
Yes you’re right with them being clear and a little milky, right on track! I would say harvest window opens when they are all cloudy to 30% amber. More cloudy trichs will produce more of a head high while more amber produces the couch lock effect.
Good job for getting a microscope and doing it the correct way!
Happy harvesting 🌱

How to reduce yield? (without reducing quality)Can I prune down to 3 or 4 colas? When? Or better to let it grow normally and compost the extra? I've found it too easy to grow way more than I can use. Especially when I experiment with different varieties. I'm also thinking it might be easier to spot pests etc. with less colas?Buds. Other

Pre-harvest CareMy question is related to harvest techniques. I have seen where several diaries talk about water restrictions the last 1-2 days prior to harvest and also about placing the plant(s) in the dark for 4-7 days prior to harvest. I would like to hear from the master growers on it. TYBuds. Other

My Girl's Gone Rogue with 10cm of Frosty Goodness!My lady decided to shatter the whole "week 10 harvest" and instead shoot 10cm, packing new flowers whiter than a yeti's behind in a blizzard!
This genetic curveball beats me.
Do I let her keep this frosty stretch, or do I harvest and let this mutant masterpiece become a solo acta year ago

Small bud and faint smellHi everyone!
I am concerned that my buds have a very faint odor (you have to almost touch the plant with your nose to smell it well).
Could it be because I have a powerful fan? Or will the herb take on an odor over time or after drying?Week 10
