***UPDATE*** - Grow 16 completed! 9 weeks and 1 day into flower and the amber/yellow/gold started to show, Time to harvest! 5 hrs. later the buds are now drying and should be ready to start jarring before New Year's Eve. This time around I went directly to the buds, no stems, due to rain and colder weather the humidity has jumped up to over 55% in my closet and temp down to around 68 degrees. (talk about slow dry, too slow? took 5 days for 1st plant to dry before jarring) I don't want no mold so I put the bigger yields in brown paper bags and the 2 smaller yields in cardboard boxes. and put them in the corner of my grow room where the humidity has been right at 45% and warmer than the closet. I tried this with my 1st plant and it turned out perfect, so I applied this to the rest of the grow and I do have to admit they are all looking good and drying evenly.

Come summertime it will be a different story for drying and curing as far as time wise and how (old school dry on stems again or do I try what I did this winter? Hmmm...).

Lastly, I have tried the Indica and I give it my 5 stars!!! I hope the rest comes out the same!!!

I believe this to be my best grow yet!!!

I'll be starting grow 17 here shortly... stay tuned...

May everyone have a Happy New Year!!!

P.S. - I forgot to mention "watch your trichomes!" Forget jeweler's loups, magnifying glasses, get up close and personal with your buds and get a usb microscope, made a big difference for me when to harvest and no guessing when YOU want to chop (not too early and not too late). Indica flower window 8 - 10 weeks, mine was ready at 8 weeks and 1 day. Sativa flower window 10 - 12 weeks, mine were ready at 9 weeks and 1 day. Yes, this was less time for the sativas but I let the trichomes tell me this time and they can't be wrong!

Oh, my trichome ratio? between 5 - 10% clear, at least 85 - 90% White and less than 5% amber on all Sativa's and the Indica.

Similar to my outdoor harvest % in trichs. not as much amber as i would of liked but at least they were all milky alittle bit not much clear. Smoke is pretty darn good though in a more controlled tent enviornment would of made them harder and more amber but hey i just grow outdoors for volume and if i get great results that's a bonus. Can't wait to start a indoor grow again just can't do it right now. All mine were indica hybreds NuggetMan so glad your pleased with your outcome. I love full shelves

I do have to say that I didn't fudge with these as much as I normally do, wasn't expecting Super tall Sativa's but I do have to say the buds themselves were alot more built, firm and super sticky. They are still drying out, not all gave me the same amount (more or less) but looking at my trays I still got a decent harvest, should last me a while!!! You can get volume indoors it all depends on how you grow and train the plants. Oh, and trimming 1/3 bottom of plant does make a big difference in you plant production on the buds!!!
I did top these, but way too late (topped after the 6 or 7th node) and just let them go from there (just something different to do as I got lazy this time) and trimmed the lower leaves and branches to drive energy to the better tops.
The popcorn? I dried them out and had samples to try, mmm good! Would taste better after curing but the buzz is there!!!

Mighty fine buds you got there nugget. Well done. They all seem to be very similar but #2 is my fave.

[NuggetMan]

It is possible that they could be the same as the seeds I got I kept together. I do have some top buds that are humongus, surprised even me!

Thank you!
