You see I have been checking my own grow today with the scope (estimate some 2 weeks to harvest) and I checked top colas vs. piddly little stuff at the bottom. I have about 90% clear trichs at the top and about 50% milky trichs at the bottom (is that normal?) so if I was to go by trichs I would not be harvesting the whole plant in 1 day, I would be doing it in stages.
In time you will most likely try things like lollypopping, which will basically remove the "piddly little stuff at the bottom". This will boost the strength of the upper "main" cola's and produce lovely large buds with what I believe to be increased yields too.

But yes, harvesting in stages will improve the overall quality of those lower "popcorn" buds! It is the right thing to do with them if you don't have time and space constraints.

i heard when you harvest you should try cutting the whole plant and hang in the dark for 2 days

That is a harvest thing and only slows down dry time, which is a good thing but also increases chance for mold.

The secret is sulfur, and it is a secret cause very few people know it LOL

so I ask every one do your nutes have sulfur in em, The one I use has 4.9%

Humboldt County's Snow Storm Ultra will increase the essential oil production (more there is more). This is 0-0-3 and as you might surmise, K will increase your tric production. The introduction of extra K can help express some coloring in the plant, from oranges to purples to browns. Mg can do that too (not express the natural colors though), but not as well. That would be like "Sweet Raw" from Botanicare. It too can increase components within the essential oils (more terps), which can increase flavors.

You can make you own sweet. It works!
Search that on this site.

You can get just K (potassium) and add that at the proper ratio to duplicate the 0-0-3 value.

yes.. Dr. Who and weedenhanced I watched ur little debate with interest and a raised eyebrow.

Dr. you were wrong to have a go at enhanced for quoting stuff. I think it's ok to quote stuff if you find it valuable to the matter at hand. Enhanced you were wrong to poke fun at Dr.'s age and generally insult him.

It got very heated and it saddens me to see people getting irate with each other when we're all generally happy stoners trying to have a good time and help others. It puts a smile on my face to see you guys chilling out a bit :)

Let the discussions roll guys! it helps us all learn and grow in one way or another. And I don't mean grow in the sense that we all know and love, I mean grow spiritually and psychologically.

We are all broken to some extent and I don't mean all users of RIU, I mean every human on the planet. Being able to sit back and regard your own actions objectively is the true way to spiritual growth and happiness.

Feel the love my friends.
Now sit back and smoke a fatty!
Peace,
Grow4

my point is you're acting like a dick, and regurgitating what you've read, while putting down actual experience. try whatever you want, that's how you learn; it's called EXPERIENCE.... ;)

that's pretty much what i did. my advice is for you to not give any. trichome checking is for noobs. letting the plant mature to ripeness is better than chopping because you're afraid you're going to lose potency.

people like you are why people like me only help those who deserve it. if you are not experienced, you should NOT be trying to teach OR preach.

I quoted from high times u know more then the experts hey its cool I knew about trichomes not real hard I just quoted a good article from a good source to try to help the person here but ppl like u need to actual contribute something alll u have done is try to put me down cauee i had a argument with a friend of yours my information was correct and trichomes r the best way to tell if ur buds r done forums r for sharing of information just because u dont grow weed for a living or dont grow a house full does not mean u dont know what u r talking about education and learning is a good way reading and listening to others who have done the reaseach is a good way to learn just experiance does not give u the right to disregard other input me and the dr who r cool now we spoke and worked out our differences and probably have more respect for ea other for it but ppl like u deserve no respect at least he made vaild points letting ur plants ripen is fine letting ur plants over ripen is not good Ive done hours of research about trichome and used it to to my advantage when ive chopped my plants because iam doing auto for the first time means what ive done hour and hour of research on auto 2 if u wanna have a auto quizz ask me anyhting iam a sponge I absord information from all sources I suggest u do the same the pictures of his trichomes look about 70 to 80% cloudy with no amber it could be 1 week or could be 5 I just gave my opinion

Your a egotistical dickhead u might grow good weed dont mean everything u think is correct losing potency is very important 2 some ppl its not all about yield

What ur saying is like this u cant have knowledge of hiv unless u experience it

How dare you??? I am positive you don't know everything there is to know about weed, and I am quite sure by reading that your level of expertise is limited. So for you to tell someone else that they shouldn't be offering advice or teaching is absolute bullshit.

It's people like you that are the epitome of the problem in marijuana, as if YOU have some exclusivity to everything marijuana related, you fucking noob.

You tell him that he has no experience and shouldn't be teaching, because his level of expertise may not be on par with your own, but, then you turn around and tell him that you refuse to help educate him???

People like you, automatically get put into my ignore list, asshole, I hope ALL your future crops all end up with mites, you punk.

It goes like this... weed enhanced might be a noob growing, and he might be reposting information, or pasting articles from high times...

I personally, at 45 years old, am glad of this, I personally, do not know everything there is to know about marijuana, though I've seriously studied this plant, for 25-30 years.

When people like weedenhanced come along, they offer me the opportunity to review things that I already know, and ENHANCE knowledge that I've come to learn or experience over the decades. Instead of looking at noobs as the enemy, try to look at them from this point of view. It is the idea behind the student teaching the teacher.
