1st real indoor grow

[NA420]

Looking good bro! Almost ready!

Thanks bubba. Now that it is in the home stretch getting worried about mold issues. It's getting humid here the last few weeks and getting hard to keep it under 60%. If it was actual winter like it should be don't think there would be a problem.
Running a de-humidifier 24/7. Granted it's an old one but i'm still pulling a quart ir two a day of water

Mine is 22% flowering now I hope mine isn't too high!. I run a HUMIDIFYER 24/7.

this is the critical jack a friend wanted me to kill. Glad I didn't as she is filling out nicely. He said he must have had something go wrong with his as this was a cutting from the same plant and is doing better than his did.

Amazing....truly inspirational

[cyberaktif]

thanks green ! this is truly amazing ! now i just need to start working on bigger colas.

[Tika]

WOW WEEEE!!!! Those plants are totally beautiful! Nothing like natural light to reflect their beauty.
When do you harvest?
pat yourself many times- great work.

[cyberaktif]

Thanks Tika ! Yes, I think they are beautiful as well !! I have always loved the way the flowers look towards the end of their life cycle. I might borrow my son's camera and take some pictures with a real camera instead of my phone.
Harvesting is within the next two weeks. Still watching the trichs. There was A LOT of stumbling going on behind the scenes of this journal let me tell ya. For basically winging it this time around I've learned so much. From reading everyones other posts, definitely the GWE site, and other readings I am looking forward to my next grow!
Thank you !

Took some pictures with my son's camera. Really love how the trichs just covered like a forest on everything. It's like it's own landscape alien world.. Keep waiting for a live bug when i'm looking in the scope. Pretty cool stuff....

[cyberaktif]

Love these cool new cameras...they take some good pictures..now if I could figure out how to REALLY operate this thing that would be cool.
Bud porn...love it ! And jammin to some "southern death cult" "Gods zoo"

Still looking at the trichs. They seem to still be clear but am seeing an amber one here and there. We are at the 60th day since the flip. I've been reading some conflicting reads on some forums. Some are saying they harvest green crack at 45 days and some are later than 60. When I'm looking at the trichs there seem to be some that are broken off at the top. guessing that is from fondling the buds while growing? The plants don't seem to smell like they did a few weeks back and are not as sticky as the were a few weeks ago.

Like big cola oasis.

[cyberaktif]

yeah it is pretty cool. going to be spending lots of time everyday after work trimming these girls.

[Jibblerjoe]

Good work. Enjoy

Well, pulled the trigger on one of the plants on 3/3/17. Still think it's a bit early but did see some cloudy trichs. Did this all by myself and took 5 1/2 hours non stop. Looking like it will be a few branches each night after work for the next week or so. I did a sloppy job near the end of the 5 hours as I started at 7pm and was done at 12:30. Was wiped out when I was done.

here is one of the top main colas...

And I believe this is that cola trimmed up...

And here they are, one plant all hung up to dry.....

[Jibblerjoe]

Nice. That's 1 plant? Bud monster.

[cyberaktif]

yes...one plant, and it was the smallest one.

[cyberaktif]

How does the trim job look? Should I have taken more leaf off ( pic 1 and 3 ) ? I know it's all eye candy with tight buds and all but in the end it needs to do one thing, STOP the pain!

[cyberaktif]

These girls are still really green. Sure, there are some big fan leaves that turned yellow, but for the most part they all look like this.

[cyberaktif]

The hairs are mostly redish/orangish with most of them curled in. But like I said the trichs are still clear with some being a tad cloudy. I never used the trichs to determine the doneness of the plants years ago but with the reading of this site am trying that method. If I waited too long won't all the trichs be amber?

[bobsakamoto]

scroll down here

http://www.growweedeasy.com/make-buds-sparkle-with-more-trichomes

to the section '4 stages of trichome development'

and it tells you how to identify each stage by color of trichome and what that means for potency and type of high desired...

[cyberaktif]

I printed a picture of that chart. This is an awesome website let me tell you. The wealth of info the main site has and the amazing people here on the forum. One of the esiest and most straight forward sites out there.

[bobsakamoto]

true that.

[intergalactic_harvester]

wow, one plant. that is a beautiful fat harvest! nice work!

[cyberaktif]

yeah, cut them down friday evening and today they are drying up a tad. It's low 60 at night and 75 during lights on. Does the bud need to be in total darkness? Reason I ask is that there will be lights on for 18 and off six in the room.

[intergalactic_harvester]

not sure about the light thing, hids are intense. im pretty sure tho the light factor is storage related as with other perishables. light breaks down terpenes and potency, as in spices or any kind of veg prepared for storage. short term exposure during the beginning of the process shouldnt damage anything but i would try to minimize it as much as possible and definately keep them out of any direct exposure.

[cyberaktif]

there is only a 4 foot t5 8 bulber for veg and then the light on ceiling when i'm in there and plants are well above the light on the other side of the room. 8 or 9 feet from the floor didn't want to get too far up as there will be a bit more heat up there.
