I looked today everything is super milky almost white ish. So I'm thinking they are done I do have a 120x microscope so I can see the trich very well but I still have white hairs on one and it's still growing out the buss thoughts run em a few more days or harvest tomorrow

[Tika]

They look fine! Just watch your trichomes..they will tell you.
Great robust posts- appreciate the time you give to keeping everyone current.
What do you plan next???

[Inuart88]

I would post more no one ever seems to comment anymore =(

[Inuart88]

Haha yes tika finally the question i been wanting to answer with the tincture under my tongue! I have 3 dr.purples that are 3feet 6 inches tall and 3 fire ogs that are the same height i bought a scrog net for them because they will stretch to much gotta cut some clones the day after the harvest. i have tried dr. purple has the best high same thing with fire og.. but Chernobyl sucks so im not growing any more i will keep a mother plant around but i dont care for it... i have mystery white and c99 an jack and SBR after that... also my wife rated my weed compared to the guy has been growing for 5 years i win.. woot the new ones coming up wont be ready this time but its okay. when leaves start to die i assume there ready i see all trichs are really cloudy and white i think i have seen a few amber i think im deffintly still in my harvest window... i hope im at 8 weeks and 3 days into my grow.

[Inuart88]

Also i have leaves turning brown and crisping up on all 3 plants is that a good sign that im close?

[Inuart88]

Trying to load up pictures now time for the highs off the differnt kinds doctor makes you feel like your cheeks are hanging way down very red eyes and very relaxing with a massive head high talking like watching tv and 1 episode goes by and u think u watch 4.. Chernobyl isnt as good not really sure about the high... and fire og i haven't tried yet

[Tika]

Ya know...my trichomes always always go milky and majority of pistils go brown before my leaves change color. Right or wrong I don't worry about the leaves. Can't but will- wait for your harvest photos!!!
happy tincture

[Inuart88]

Should i wait till i see a few ambers you think? if the trichs are done does that mean all the hairs will be orange or no? my dr.p has alot of white still going and growing... im just trying to figure out how to tell.. ambers are not showing up really.. can u just wake up and start seeing ambers? im nervous and not sure when to cut is all.. i want the best i can get out of it!

[Tika]

As GWE has sai sometimes the bud is growing more whites but it is still ready via trichomes. I tend to go by that. A few ambers won't turn into couchlock. Are you checking your mid-stem buds ( not just the top)? Are they cloudy too..and probably have more white hairs left?

[Inuart88]

On the mid buds there are still a few clear ones but there are quite a few milky white ones about half way down the cola.. so that probably means i need about 5-7 days im thinking . would be 9 weeks and 2 days

[Inuart88]

Im going to cure all the top buds for myself and the wife =-D its so nice to grow your own medicine and get to try its an amazing feeling.. im in love with the process really its a big accomplishment for me.

[Tika]

Well. If midway most are cloudy I would be preparing my trim space and drying equip....I personally harvest a tiny early and cure well & longer. Consult
Green75 id take a pic and hit him Up for an opinion....
generally id say not more than two days given what you describe.

[Inuart88]

Alright i will do it tomorrow or tuesday do the trichs amber up doing curing and also do all hairs turn brown after you cut since they will die.

[Tika]

Trichomes will change as they dry but not to amber ( again in my e perience) ...should be sparkling...yes pistils/ hairs will go brown...pretty quickly. And if you want..start with one branch, trim it out, loupe it..hang it. To me this period is most unattractive, buds as they dry are in a purgatory of beauty. Then change again into a thing of beauty.

[Inuart88]

Tomorrow is the day get ready for a flood of pictures.. also do buds get better as you cure from what i understand curing is the most crucial part to the harvest! do they smell/taste better and get more pontent? tika i know you know this..

[OzBud]

Hey Inuart sorry you feel your grow isn't getting the attention it deserves. Your plants are fantastic and you've got lots of great looking buds to be proud of, I know I certainly would be.

Posts can get knocked down the list pretty quickly with so many new threads and people replying to other threads so I wouldn't take it personally. I think some of the newer people to the forum might also concentrate on threads with the most views/replies from growers like Green & Tika as well as the grow battle thread where they probably think they'll get the most info from the more experienced/popular growers but don't realise they're missing out on great stuff from other growers.

I know when working on my current grow thread I felt the same as if I was being overshadowed and overlooked due to the more popular threads but then I thought to myself I'm not here for attention or praise, I'm here to see what others are achieving with their different grow approaches, help anyone I can and post about my grow and experiences since I have nobody here to talk to about growing or anyone to smoke with. All my mates are back on the other side of the country where I'm from before my partner & I relocated so I pretty much go to work or do things in town and then come home, I don't have any face to face outside work social interaction with anyone and haven't for almost 3 years now.

[Inuart88]

Thanks for the support OZ and i do understand that ... just feel proud and want to show people how a first grow can turn out... with patience and the proper research and asking questions when you have them.. and to have some confidence that your doing the right thing... Im starting to write out some how-tos and things i have learned my first grow so i have the info for later reference. i may share them .. and notes about each stage and what to do... And im the same way i hate outside social situations!

Ditto.....

[Inuart88]
