Thanks bro, I think it was worth the wait lol.. If you think shes looking good you have to drop by and check out the wonder woman! I put up the new thread in my sig.
Thats the problem I don't have to much air circulating in there until I fix my cpu fan.. I'm sure it has decent circualtion because my ceiling fan in the room is big and always on!

I just noticed the stems are mostly snapping when you bend them now so I decided to roll a lil blunt with half of a branch and I must say WoW!! I'm not to picky when it comes to the high I get but I'm really liking these cloudy trics right now
Not much I can make of a taste yet but very smooth! Now I know what they mean by head high!! Its Really sticky and still needs to dry a little more but burnt no problem at all.. It has a good smell starting aswell, I looked at the trics right before I smoked it and there packed in there nice!
I definitely want to hold out and let the buds swell as much as possible but this was a great high
I'm actually going to take a couple more lower branches soon and let the rest go another week at least!

sometimes the stuff just drys out quick, i got snappy stems in 4 days in my veg box with no fans, only ceiling. sounds like some really good smoke though, good job bro. hey i dont know if i showed you this before, but was doing my word journal and just read through it again and noticed they were talking about reading each trich for color, not all the trichs as a whole. something to think about? or maybe im just stoned, LoL. any ways, here it is.
When to harvest
Trichomes are small appendages that look like hairs. They are produced by marijuana, and other plants. Female marijuana plants produce certain trichomes that are a rich source of THC. These trichomes can be found in their largest concentration on the buds. They start out clear, turn a milky color, then turn amber (light brown).
The trichomes in picture 1 are clear. After the plant has flowered for a few weeks, the trichomes start to turn a milky color (picture 2). After a few more weeks, they will be totally milky in color. In the later stages of flowering, trichomes will turn to a light brown color (picture 3). The amount of time required to get to this point depends on the marijuana strain and the growing conditions.
In picture 2 you can see the stems have started to turn from a clear color to a milky translucent color. For maximum THC content and a more cerebral and energetic high, harvest your plants when a majority of the trichomes on the plants in your garden are a fully milky translucent color.
You can wait until most of the trichomes have started to turn amber, but the resulting marijuana will produce more of a sleepy body stone than it would if plants were harvested earlier. The trichome in picture 3 is about 90% amber, with just a trace of the milky translucent color it previously possessed.
After the trichome is fully amber in color, the THC starts to degrade. This makes it very important to harvest marijuana at the time before a majority of the trichomes have attained a total amber color. If not, the marijuana will not be as potent as it could have been.
Based on that information once trichomes have turned milky white maximum THC levels have been reached and remain at that level until fully amber. So any time between filly milky white and fully amber is the peak THC level and when each person needs to decide when to harvest in that period of time is solely based on each individuals personal preference in high or stone of combination of each.
In short the prime time to harvest is variable based on personal preference as long as it is between when the trichomes have turned fully milky white and when they are fully amber.

I did a few fem short riders indoors over the winter last year and they were pretty lemony smelling
and looked about like Smelly's at hartvest. Didnt have much of a lemon taste after cure. More of an old school
dank taste, slightly skunky. I just figured smelly's may have that Pine-Sol hint in the background too lol.

You hit it right on the head!! I was wondering what to compare it to lol.. Mine sounds pretty much identical to what you just described! I haven't smoked any fully cured yet but that dank skunky taste is the best way to describe it!! When I mop my floors with pinesol it seemed to mask the smell and almost blend in lol.. Its definitely got a lemony fragrence when you touch it and smell your fingers!!
