Valleywestbudsstarted grow question 4y ago
With CBD strains do you guys and gals like to wait to see more amber trichomes or just wait till there's no more clear and all milky white? Mine is fox tailing pretty bad and the plant looks mature and ready to cut down but I am barely seeing signs of amber color trichomes?

For CBD strains, the earlier you harvest, the more cerebral the high... if you wait for amber trichomes, you're going to get a heavier stone ... so it just depends on what you want out of your ladies....
If this were MY decision to make, I'd go for the chop right now... as you say, the plant looks mature and she's starting to foxtail... cut her down, enjoy what she gives you!

Are Kaiydaan's Buds Developing ProperlyMy grow seems to be progressing smoothly, I'm just concerned about the way the buds are looking. The stigmas of Kaiydaan, on her developing buds have "shriveled" down (For lack of a better word) and have turned orange. Is she developing and growing the way she should?Week 6

Do I just hose it off and proceed as normal? Or hose it off and give to my most leechy smoking friend?Looks like mould, but I'm guessing spider mites.
I tried the 3 days of dark, pulled it out of the cupboard and it had this big clump on it. There was the odd spider mite before the cupboard.
Basically just wondering if I'll die sooner if I try and clean it up and smoke it???Buds. Other

Harvest/flush time?My Special Kush#1 is today on day 32 of flowering. Today i checked the trichomes and apparently they are mostly white/milky colour. I read that this strain has a 7-8 weeks flowering time, so i was surprised to see them milky. I dont know if start to flush or wait another week.

Pistills Dark Pre FlowerI wanted to ask an expert why the pistils are showing such a reaction at the beginning of the flowering phase. The VPD values have consistently been in the optimal range, it can’t be due to excessive light since even buds at the very bottom are affected.Buds. Other

Brown Trychomes in 3rd Flowering WeekMy trychomes are getting brown!
I dont understand, this is happening only on one bud site and all other buds are looking good. And I think its too soon for trychomes to become yellow or brown.
