Ten year plan finally done.

[Charlie]

My wife got me a new phone, it takes better pictures. Here are some random plant pictures.

 

[Aloner]

Every once in a while I might get a leaf or two where just the tiniest bit of the very tip of one or more fingers get burned but so far nothing beyond that. I love it! After more grows maybe I'll try something else (DWC?) but for my first few grows, at least, I wouldn't do it any other way. I feel like it's letting me concentrate on getting to know the plants and how they grow, and issues like pests, without having to worry about feeding schedules and the like.

 

[Aloner]

Very nice! How long do you reckon until harvest?

 

[Charlie]

I'm thinking about two (2) to four (4) weeks. What do you think? If you can tell from the picture, I'm still trying to get the hang of phone cameras. The trichomes are just starting to get cloudy, no amber at all.

 

[Aloner]

I have no practical experience (I'm on my first grow) but from what info I've picked up here I would agree, you have at least a couple more weeks to go -- and probably more. I'd wager that however long it takes, it's going to feel even longer lol!

 

[Sheesh]

I agree, at least 2 and probably more like 4 weeks based on my few grows and what I've seen and read. My buds usually have around 80% of the pistils brown / red and curled back in towards the bud before they are ready to harvest. I see lots of white pistils standing tall in these pictures so start checking the trichomes every day about two weeks from now. Think about flush too, if you are planning one. Best case is to start a 7-10 day flush just when you hit the harvest window.

 

[Charlie]

There are still green flowerets unopened and more still forming. The buds get fatter every day, so my patience will be rewarded. I like a two (2) week flush just using PHed water. But if I see a lot of amber trichomes, I harvest. I check the plants every day a couple times, for soil condition, structural issues (heavy buds falling over) and Trichome maturity, not to mention the just random visits to just stand and grin.

 

[Charlie]

The clone I made from the Seriously Happy top, has had it's second topping, and probably the last.

 

[Charlie]

The clone responded well to the second topping.

I wish I found this thread earlier Charlie a very nice grow going on up there in AK . Defenatly hitting the subscribe button . Good luck and enjoy the harvest ..
Oh also Alltatup recommended a phone app its Supervision+ works great for closeup pics and a free app . No adds or bullshit on it .

[Charlie]

Thanks Medman, and thanks Alltatup for the heads up. It looks like Serious happy is sprinting for the finish, it has white trichomes with still no amber on the top bud. the others Critical Mass and Bag Seed are starting to get milky, but I believe Seriously Happy will be upside down first.

 

[Charlie]

It was second defoliation time. When I first topped the clone it went to three (3) forks instead of two (2). As you can understand the second topping resulted in six (6) forks instead of the four (4) and the third topping resulted in twelve(12) forks, four (4) over what I'm used to, but it also started putting random stalks along the trained arms. I've run branches every direction I can. They are starting to over lap. I may have to select the most promising one (1) of two (2) in a couple places.

 

[Charlie]

So far the limbs have had enough room grow, with a little guidance. I'm happy with the symmetry so far, but I have defiantly topped for the time.

 

[Charlie]

I don't know if the bag seed plant was an 'auto' or not. But I do know it was fine when I went to bed, in the morning it was wilted a little. I checked the soil it was not really dry enough to water, but I gave it enough water to cause run off. At supper it was completely shriveled, so I cut it down, hung it up and cut off the shriveled leaves.

 

[Aloner]

Weird! I wonder why that happened...

 

[Charlie]

I think it's Harvest time. what do you think?

 

[MedMan]

Great looking full of trichomes but I would wait just a little longer because you still have some straight white pistils but I like a more couch lock effect . So if you cut now it might be just right as well . Let a few people chime in too .

 

[Sheesh]

How are the trichomes Charlie? Do you have a scope that allows enough zoom to see if they're cloudy.

 

[Charlie]

This is the best I can do, I hope you can see well enough.

 

[Charlie]

Thanks, There are no Amber Trichomes, and I would like to flush another week. So I will probably wait a little longer. I'm not much on Couch Lock, but I still like a little body stone.
