EZDreamer Cool - it is certainly a wise investment

I love the fact that auto-correct turns trichomes into artichokes - I wouldn't be happy if anything else did that though

 

[EZDreamer]

what the heck, lol? It was late and I never noticed....proof read, proof read

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

This is late, but yeah try to keep your humidity 30-45percent when flowering.

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

EZDreamer, your plant is looking great, but she still has a month or maybe even longer.
The Bubblelicious auto, from Nirvana, that I grew, got humongous size buds, the last 2weeks before harvest, I mean she really swelled up, and put on lots of weight the last 2weeks. I'm hoping yours does the same, and I think she will, she has got plenty of time to swell up, before harvest.
The loupe will tell you everything, even a good hand held magnifying glass will get the job done ok.
Just make sure that you don't harvest early, and you will have some fine smoke, before long,
Great job, with your plant EZ.!!!!

D.A.A.S.69 , thanks brother. It has been a blast working on this first grow. I've learned so much. Now I'm excited to be this close to harvest. Thanks again to everyone at GWE and the forum. You've been so encouraging and helpful.
I can't wait to start my next grow.

 

[EZDreamer]

Here are the latest picks. Some of the trichomes have clouded up, while others have turned golden, but I'm holding out for the big finish.

 

[EZDreamer]

I'm setting up for my next grow, but I'd also like to start researching breeding my own seeds. Any thoughts or links on a good resource to start studying? This grow ws so much fun, I'd like to try some new things.

EZDreamer Looking GREAT!

Still looks like she has a ways to go though. When you check the trichomes, be sure to look at the actual buds. The Sugar leaves can turn first and be deceiving.
So, I'd say you have the right plan to hold on and keep her going and growing strong!
Cheers!

 

[EZDreamer]

Campesino thanks. I'm checking the trichomes on the buds every couple of days. I saw what you're describing with regards to the "sugar leaves". The trichomes there had begun turning a sort of dark Amber color. Those on the buds where still clear.
I'll note also that today the buds look bigger then just a couple days ago. I'm very excited.

So, last night my wife had a bunch of coworkers over for a cook out. During the course of the night three different people noted that the house smells like marijuana. I don't think my secret grow is secret any more or that my carbon filter is as effective as I'd like it to be. Any suggestions?

 

[EZDreamer]

This girl is looking sweeter every day. These are from Monday. The trichomes are starting to look smokey. The waiting is killing me.

 

[EZDreamer]

Here's today's pic. It amazes me still how it seems to change every day.

Bubblicious is a bit finicky from my experience, go easy on nutes, you will also have short & stubby plants with taller spindly ones.

 

[EZDreamer]

Motoman15, thanks for the heads up.

 

[EZDreamer]

So looking for feedback...the trichomes are looking cloudy to me. Any thoughts?

 

[fwril]

I'm seeing about 1/2 clear and cloudy from the pics there. No Amber's yet

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

EZDreamer, Those sure are pretty, And looks to me like you don't have long to wait, but I'd wait till you see some amber, it want be long.
But I don't know how you like yours,
But nice job with your grow.

 

[EZDreamer]

Thanks all for the feedback. You guys have been consistently supportive. This has to be one of the coolest projects I've taken on in years.

There was a bunch of amber on the sugar leaves, but I'm ignoring those, lol. Should I be looking for a 50/50 cloudy to amber mix?

When I get home I'll try to get a photo of the calyx. I have a special lens coming, but those close up pics are from my I-phone and the jewelers loupe I just purchased.

 

[fwril]

The more research I do into when to harvest the more it's seems to be a guessing game. Seems the only common denominator is be patient.

 

[EZDreamer]

Looks like the amber trichomes have arrived. This is the top of the bud. What do you think?
