Farmbuck With all due respect to your lifetime of growing sir I wonder if there aren't a lot of white pistils there yet? I know that trichomes rule but really? My understanding here is pistils are the second best indicator by curling/browning. A genetic thing maybe for pistils to be white (calyxes still receptive to pollen?) when trics are a third amber? I hope we hear from 'The Mind' here too! An interesting subject I think!

 

[Farmbuck]

I know sir. I also go by the pistils turning like you said "curling/browning", We all know it's my first full auto grow so maybe I have a lot more to learn about them. What"s strange is on my Amnesia I see a lot of amber a heck of a lot lately..! You are looking at the GG4 gals and they don't show as much of amber than their sisters Amnesia. The end of the tunnel could be 3 or more weeks ?

Could it be a lack of auto knowledges on my part TOKABIGONE ?

 

[TOKABIGONE]

Ahh, there's the rub my friend. I say trichomes and pistils are just that, with variations due to genetics and hybridization but don't they all curl and amber meaning the plant is done? Ripe is ripe? Naturally your diff strains are doing so at diff rates, non?
BTW pic 4 GG4 you have brought the light out of the inner recesses of the bud which highlights the calyxes with pistils growing out very well! That's what brought these questions to my mind!

 

[Farmbuck]

Even I I'm a bit confuse not seeing more curly & red hair on them.

Howdy Farmbuck, I know that this is some what off topic (at least the current one), but could You post some updated photos of the 'ugly sisters' just to see how (if) they have progressed? TIA.

 

[Farmbuck]

Bonjour DW2, You mean the "Beast" ? Sure I've got a few pics of her. Here goes !!

 

[Farmbuck]

The Beast !! But she is still alive non ?

 

[TOKABIGONE]

Go with the gut my friend! It's the only decision you really have any control over in their entire lives. Have you tried a early bud yet?

 

[Farmbuck]

Yeah I did sir. Chopped a branch from a GG4, it had a lot of amber. Dry for more than 5 days. A bit coarse on the throat tho loll. How can I describe the aroma ? Well it smell like diesel with sour grapefruit tones. The effect is a mild head high with a good body stone. I did not feel my arthritis much. My only complain it did not last long, could it be because is not ready? Maybe. I say under 2hrs. At least it's better than tylenol loll

Thanks Farmbuck for the update. She may be a 'wall flower', but She's still pretty to me1
