Chop-off time?
MuMu_the_Growerstarted grow question 2y ago
Do I still have to wait for like 30% of the trichomes to turn amber? Because in all diaries that I read, the leaves on chopped-off plants are far from being all red and yellow like mine, and although most of my trichomes are milky, only few of them have turned amber. Thanks!

It really depends on what kind of high you are looking for. Transparent/milky indicates more of a head/cerebral high. And milky/amber indicates a couch lock/sedative high.
You should be looking at the flower and not the leaves. Use your microscope/loop on the flower/bud to determine what stage your trichs are at.
Personally I prefer 50/50 milky/amber. Keep a very close eye on the flower as they can turn amber very rapidly over night. Happy Growing!

Fongzy's info is spot on... your choice! The more amber you get (and DO look only at the trichs on the buds, not the leaves), the more couchlock you'll have...
Good luck!

The leaves change color from fading on just water the last week or two getting nutrientsout of plant. From your diary you look ready to harvest any time now to a week from now depending upon your ripeness desired.

overcrowded tent?I'm wondering if i should be getting ready to kick it to flower? this is my first time growing I'm not sure if its starting to get over crowded. I know cramming 4 different strains in a 2x4 also isn't ideal should i consider a scrog to keep things at the same height?

Is my plant ready?Hi! Considering this is my first grow experience, could anybody tell me if my baby is ready to be harvested? The cola is more mature then the bottom buds. If ready, should I harvest only the top and let the plant continue to flower? Thanks

Did we start everything okay?I'm OCD #af and worry about EVERYTHING.
Is there anything we can be doing better? Light distance, germination tactics, water amounts with coco? Did we use too big of a cloth pot (I've been told 7-gallon is good, and I feel that what we have in a 10-gallon pot).Week 1

Ready for flushing or can I feed until the last day?This lady is at day 65 (70 from seed), and since I have a very tight schedule due to upcoming holidays, I'm wondering if she's ready to start flushing (say 12 days of flushing, 2 days of dark, and harvest at day 80)? Also, I'm using Biobizz nutes: do they even need to be flushed?
