Cut down 4 branches. I made sure all the ones i cut were the smaller ones out of the group. Going to let the remainder stay under 12/12 for another week. Trichomes are about 70% cloudy, 25% clear and 5% amber. Not the couch lock that i was looking for, but thats why im letting the majority stay under 12/12 for at least another week.

3 of the 4 branches are WW. The long skinny nug that has more red hairs is the NL. ( The Northern lights is the nug on the top in the first pic).

if your looking for a real couch lock high its hard to let it go "too long" just be very patient. i'd say start flushing now and in 2 weeks your golden but the microscope will tell the real story....looks delicious btw.

I'd beg to differ that it's hard to let it go "too long" Trichomes go from clear to milky white to amber and then they begin to bend, break, and degrade. At that point you can say bye-bye to the THC which is what you are after. I'm pretty sure it's important to be looking at the trichomes to harvest and choose what type of high you want.

and how long does it take for your plants trichomes to go from clear, to cloudy, to all amber, bend, break, degrade and say bye bye to all the thc??? tell me. i must know. i believe i said in the comment that the microscope will tell the story. imo it just takes quite awhile to miss the window if your looking for couch lock high as he said he was. i made that comment on the 18th and advised giving it 2 weeks and he would be safe. its been 12 days and he stated that it does not yet give him the kind of high he was looking for. don't argue with me for the sake of argument because you read something somewhere once.

I'm gonna say it again in case you didn't catch this the first time...

As far as I'm aware trichomes grow and progress in this order
1. clear
2. milky/cloudy white
3. amber
4. break and die

You can harvest too early and you can also harvest too late. That was my point. If you want try to be argumentative go for it....Yes it is hard to miss the window if you want couch lock I agree with you 100% however all I'm saying is that you CAN let it go too long. Yeah it's not likely but it's possible. I don't know why you are PMSing about what I typed...it's not my opinion and if you think this is not the growth progression of the trichomes I'd love to hear what actually happens.

I hope you cheer up, you sound like you need a hug.:lol:

well what i said originally was that its hard to let it go too long. and your first post said "i beg to differ that its hard to let it go "too long" so now your contradicting your own statements. but i guess we agree now then. my point is when you actually do it (and i know you haven't because you didn't answer my question about how long that progression takes to happen) then go ahead and run your mouth otherwise don't take what others say out of context.

Just weighed everything after i trimmed and got rid of all stems. Its 218gms. I'de say i cut maybe 15% of what i have. If thats correct that means i should have a goos 1000gms. Figure ive been getting about 25% weight dry. That means i should get a good 250gms dry from 4 plants. Not bad, not great. But if i take into account my height restrictions its pretty decent.

Best was 30gms, runner up was 19... Nothing crazy...

The ww colas were heavy and dense. Tons of trichomes everywhere. They dont smell skuny at all but the second you crack it open it stink! VERY sticky. I hope you enjoy yours as much as im enjoying mine.
