How much longer you think del? Two more weeks?

Hey guys, you think it would be ok to sample a small bud? Its sixth week and im itching to see where they are. Trichomes are all cloudy and im wondering if thats the high I want. I do like the couchlock stone but I also love the head buzz a little more.

its never to early to try a bud, prob be bit trippy and buzzy at mo but as others say more weight the longer you wait ,i started trying my mystics from week 5 mate

Well more red hairs, 10% amber trichomes. Took a sample today, smallest bud possible. Going to dry it right and cure it for about two days and see where she is at.

[stonesour]

how tall is she right now

I have four plants. Tallest plant is around 27 inches tall. smallest is round 16 inches. Top colas are around 3-4 inches in diameter for all of them. Plenty of smoke for me and my brother in law until july when i get back from vacation.

Yeah you can say that alright...lol

Is it getting close or what? The plants just look like they are dying. Is that normal the last week/two weeks till harvest? Trichomes are definatly starting to turn amber on the biggest plant.

Been watering just plain water. Why are the sugar leaves turning purple for and spotting up? Patassium def? Should I even worry about it at this point?

 

[del66666]

looking good mate, they are just pulling everything out of the leaves, looks normal to me

 

[hardroc]

LOL, yea man, it's all good, but you are right the plants are dying.....they're getting to the end of their life cycle, that's why the fan leafs start changing colors and dying, the plant is sucking all the nutes out that are stored in them.
I woudn't worry about any deff at this point, especialy since you're flushing.
Your sugar leafs change color with the nearing of the end, also cooler temps at night will do this as well, to turn an non purp to having purple leafs

Looks awesome man loved the video post. Are you going to try to re harvest or just chop the whole thing?

Smoke report....

I Let the bud dry for two days naturally and smokable after the second rip off my bong and...

The high is great!!! but its lacking that relaxed feeling (and the long cure for the flavor...yuk) I need weed to relax after a hard day at work. Back is always aching and ankle is still jacked up from a car accident four years ago (and numerous surgeries) so the narcotic/relaxed stone is really great for that. But the head high im on right now from this big plant is amazing, well now that i think about it, yeah it has a little stone to it. I would say two days ago when this was picked it has about a 70% head buzz, and a 30% stone. Ill wait a tad bit longer for those trichomes and then sample again. I think im approaching that window of opportunity to harvest, yes early in the window but definatly approaching it....

 

[stonesour]

What do you guys think? The top trichomes of this cola are 60% cloudy and 40% amber. The rest of the plant has 20% amber. Im thinking tomorrow morning for the chop of this one.... definatly next week on the others. Or does it need longer.... I just dont know.

 

[aficionado]

Personally, it looks to me like it has a bit to go still. The calyxes do not look like they have begun to swell, and you still have a lot of chlorophyll in the leaves (darker green color and lots of leaves that have not dropped yet as part of the last phase of flowering), plus many of the hairs have yet to turn amber. If its pulled 'too' early, you typically will get a harsher taste from the leafy content and not much actual sinsemilla. Still smokable, but not ideal. Although I am not sure about how the CFL angle is affecting things - maybe the light is not intense enough to cause the swelling as compared to high output lights? The trichomes are the best way to tell maturity, but sometimes amber trichomes may have resulted from burns, etc. so I typically recommend looking at all the characteristicas to tell when to pull and take numerous samples to make the final decision.

Good luck!

The Calyxes are FAT!! maybe you cant tell from that picture but they are really big. Yes the hairs are still not completely half red yet. Just the top of this plant and a couple of the side shoots are looking done. Trichomes are amber, dont think its from buring since i do have CFLs and not HID lights where that would be typical. Im the worst at judging things like this and the leaves are still green because I just gave it some cal/mag last week and have been watering with water since. Im not the type where i starve my plants at the last two weeks by flushing....
