Looks like shes responding to the feeding well. Only fed 750ppm to see how she likes the Humboldt nutes.

I harvested today, this is my water only grow, in fox farms ocean forest soil, with happy frog organic nutes with nothing but tap water, no ph adjusting , no liquid nutes of any kind, so simple, I grew this batch under 200 watts of cxa3070 cree cob led DIY lights, thats Bruce banner on the left, Gorilla glue 4 in the middle and J1 (jack herer cross) on the right.
My last grow was 5 ounces dried, this looks to be at least twice that,, here is to hoping

Alright experienced folks.... Obviously this is an Indica dominant hybrid. . . I was reading that in order to not have serious couch-lock the plant should be harvested before they turn amber to avoid serious body high...

I read that I am supposed to harvest this girl when the trichomes are fully developed, and are clear with some being milky...this is supposed to not make the body high so intense...Well right now, thats where she is...Its almost day 40... too soon? I wouldnt mind not being chained to the couch...


Any thoughts? Tim Fox? KCC420?

Actually I was just browsing back in this thread to remember what blueberry this is exactly -- as she doesn't look to me like you should be thinking of chopping her yet :mrgreen:
Something in my head is saying a good 3 weeks till harvest??

I think this girl still has lots of budness and twinklings to show!

Well actually there is a doubt to the widespread "amber" thing -- there are 2 kinds, one of which you probably won't have - the so-called "true amber" that is only found in some strains -- and more typically in sativas.
The other isn't really amber but more brownish, that's when the cannabinoids start breaking down again. You definitely don't want that -- but I didn't see a single brown trichome in the micropic you posted. So you're good to think it over for a while yet (and wait for feedback from more experienced growers than humble me :D )

Something to consider too: breeder's flowering times should be taken with a grain of salt. Most people say add another 2 weeks to them and then they're more or less accurate.
Also, on my current grow, I only started counting flower phase when my girls started really showing buds (which was 14 days after the flip). The way they're looking, the breeder's flower time will be just about right. So it probably also has to do with when you start counting flower. I'm on my 1st cup of coffee so I won't browse back to check that but just ask when you started counting flower? :mrgreen:

LOL @ the strain profile saying "moderate THC" and then stating it's over 20% btw :rolleyes:
And really nice CBD there too!

The main reason I say they're not ready for a while yet is that the pistils haven't even begun drying up - the buds are still so juicy that they look they could want to fatten up more ;)

Hey dude sorry ive been mia for a while. Ur plant is looking GREAT. Very nice job im impressed :). We are getting a warehouse setup along with my grow i havent had time to do much of anything i forget to check this after posting in my journal. U look like u got it handled just fine without us lol.

Gonna restate alot of what calliandra said cause .. dead on lol.

When its getting close to harvest all ur hairs will be curled over and ull have roughly 30% red hairs(with most strains.. but not all) at which point u want to start checking the trichomes religiously. It will kind of give u a hint of when to check. Id go more so off the curling than hair color because some are ready to harvest with white hairs. Its just kinda a guestimate of when they are getting close to flush time ... always check trichomes to be sure.

As for ur question about amber i typically start my flush when i start to see the majority cloudy wth some speckled amber which will usually give u a 90/10 or 80/20 finish if ur flushing for 2 weeks for sativas. During the 2nd to last week i alter my light schedule from 12/12 to 10/14. Last week of flush i change down to 8/16. This will speed up your maturation and fattening during your dark period. Do 72 hours of darkness before harvesting. Do your last flush about 6 days before cut down. That dark period should be 30% humidity, as low as you can get it for trichome production.

A couch lock isnt typically a bad thing especially for that indica strain. That will provide that pain relief and help with sleep ur looking for. Id shoot for a 50/50 harvest on an indica for the specific relief u are looking for. Amber trichomes as they start to degrade from cloudy typicaly have higher cbd which is the pain relief and sleep aid u want.some people even wait for like 70% amber. The only problem with doing that is you will start to get brownish colored trichomes which is basically thc degrading and has passed the harvest window. Id start flushing when ur 20% amber but thats my personal preference. On sativas i flush when i have 5 to 10% amber.

Im off work all weekend feel free to pm me of u got any questions. Keep it up
