20% of the bud is produced in the last 2 weeks, There is reason why your buds are not dense currently or pulling yield, and it is lack of light.. 400W or 600W HPS will give you the density you desire next harvest!

Move your lights with in 3 to 4 inches away from the tops and try to get some lights on the sides. It helps alot

Not even a 400 or 600. A 250 hps 120w LEDs or a 250w red spec cfl with smaller plants with give you nice results

Correct you are.. But a 400-600Watt HPS is more efficient and cost slightly more mabe 1-2$ extra per month to run then a 250Watt... Why compromise that many watts for such a little toll. Especially when then can overly compensate?

Yep Cloudy headed trichromes with 25-50% Red Hairs throughout the plant means your in the harvest window. Harvest early for a more intense high, Later harvest will give you more of hyper high when trichromes are amber they are turning from THC to CBN and a loss potency has occurred. However there is a week or so window for you to decide your premium harvest time.

So should I flush for a week or just cut it down

Always flush for atleast week... i flush for 2 weeks considering 20% of the herb your smoking is produced within that time. The final 48Hours keep the plant in darkness before you chop it as well. you may expect 1-5% THC increase!

 

[greatnes420]

And what do u do with the leaves and all that can I make hush with one plant

 

[thenotoriousone]

Theres many different ways to make hash, There's plenty of tutorials online. Its a very complicated process. Hash is almost just as exciting as the herb!

i definitely agree with you about the lights but an early harvest does not necessarily mean a more intense high, its more of a head high. if you want to be put on your ass and glued to the couch you wait until trichomes are 75% amber if you like a more stoney high, not so much of a brain fuck. more amber more stoney just dont wait too long.

you need at least 85 watt on each one and 23s for side lighting if youre going cfl. but i recommend hps. if you go cheap you grow cheap

looks like a good set up for veg but it lacks the intensity to fatten the buds.

better lights = better buds

correct me if im wrong but isnt the high dependent on the plant, i.e. indica or sativa?????? and as for the trichs being 75% amber the plant is way past its peak in thc content and starting to degrade???

correct, it does depend on the plant but it is also dependent on the point at which the buds are harvested. if you harvest when its clear/cloudy youll have an up high with reduced potency. amber trichomes are past their prime, but the rest of the plant is at it's most potent state, for a short period of time. the thc is degrading at this point. thats why i say to not wait too long. if a narcotic effect is what you strive for than harvest when trichomes are amber. but try 50/50 amber/cloudy, 75/25 cloudy/clear or whatever your preference is.
