can she water them and what not m8?? with some trics still being clear, i'd say that they're not quite ready to come down.. maybe a week or two at most..
i'd try and do what i could do get them along a lil longer.. outdoors is good for them so long as it's not too cold, so bringing them out for a few days during the day is good..

...dankx for the rep bro

not yet mate, i should eh? still got 5 weeks of sun yet, how you do it mate?

very cool nothing like smoking ur own bud imo..
did you take any clones so that you can keep in the green or not?/

thanks man,ill post some pics of the other 3 in a week , they are not ready yet, having a crap summer in New Zealand but a few sunny days yet I HOPE .lol

i replied in your thread... they look ready to come down to me.. nice work m8..

hope they smoke as good as they look...

theyre looking good man. Saw you looked at them threw the scope and 40% cloudy? its kinda hard to tell in the pics, but they still dont look 100% fully fat and done to me. maybe just another half a week or so. . you could prob chop her any day though!

thank you mate, my first grow and to be honest i was really lucky , as i was even watering the buds ALOT but have been infomed this isnt too good as bud rot can happen, got a 20x magnifying glass my trichomes arent clear but a creamy color i believe i could do the old 48 hour dark trick then trim and dry/cure as you suggest, im going to do it your way, i understand it and agree ,i am confused about the trichome thing many different opinoins whats yours?

***sorry read posts from bottom to top*****you may notice that after a few days/week it just doesnt seem like your herb is coming out good but just give it time if this process is followed exactly it will work..you can def ruin a crop with a bad cure so just best advice is to watch carefully and make adjustments to constantly but really slowly evaporate the moisture, its like a fermenting process longer it takes better your product... hope this helps

then in the jar they go. you want the jars nice and full not crammed but full. check the buds after about 4-6 hours and see how fast they are getting damp again, you will get a feel for this and know about how long they take after a couple days..so as soon as they are damp again you take it all out and spread it on a garbage bag or something and leave out for as long as it takes to get back to that first "dry" point then back in the jars....repeat this for 3-4 weeks before expecting optimum smoke each day the buds will need to be out of the jar less and less and toward the end they may not need to come out at all but its still good to open the jar for a while and let the air exchange..

my method is to trim all leaf first idk the extent of your experience so please dont be offended at some simple points i will make such as while trimming you want to get all leaf that is protruding off but do not go digging into the buds to get every bit of leaf. the reason for doing this first is to avoid that grassy nasty smell/taste you may get otherwise. once trimmed take all buds and leave near indirect fan for anywhere from 2-4 days usually..basically your just waiting for the outside of the buds to be just starting to turn brittle and the smaller sticks should snap while the larger ones still will not, thats when you know its the right time check them often!! once you feel that they are kind of crispy on the outside you cut off any addictional stick (since i trim and dry most buds on the branch)
