Buds looking normal? First grow!

Lol..looks like it’s got a body that hooks around. Look at the dark lines that follow the shape of the curve. Lol. Hell of an eye trick there

That yellow ball that’s coming out in closeup. That’s coming right out of the bracht, right? Is it hard? Does it look like it can open up?

danjac82 · Apr 13, 2019

Poke it and you’ll know

It’s right on the bud. It doesn’t look like that until I took a pic.

What do I do if it is a worm?

Also, I think they’re just about done, if not already. I will post pics as well as microscope pics of the trikes in a moment

Groat21 · Apr 13, 2019

Ok, so I thought my girls needed another week or two, but after inspecting with a microscope, I noticed a fair number of trikes had started to turn Amber. I’ve posted pics of them below.

I will add the microscope photos within ten minutes from my computer.

Any input on whether they're ready to be harvested or not would be great. I am in the process of exams right now, will be done on Wednesday. Hopefully I can just harvest them then!

Thanks, pics below.
White widow

Green Crack

Crown Royale

OG

EDIT: The listed flowering times are as follows:
White widow-8 weeks
Crown Royale-9 weeks
Green Crack-9-10 weeks
OG-9-10 weeks

It has been 9 weeks since flip, and just over 8 since I noticed the first actual flower.

They're getting close. What do you have, 2 weeks left? They look beautiful. Very nice work.

Yea they look good man. Good color to them and the leaves Are sitting up nice. I see no issue. I think most people’s younger plants can use more phosphorous. I notice a lot of plants take a while to have enough available phosphorus to keep the stem and petioles from getting purple color and streaks. It gets blamed on magnesium way too often.

Forgot to tag you guys, posted pics in the last post if you don’t mind checking them out for me. Sorry for the quality of the microscope pics, so hard to keep it steady with one hand.

Groat21 · Apr 13, 2019

Well, my exams are done in 3 days, I’m probably just going to wait and harvest then. I’ll give them just water one more time, and I’ll drop humidity and night temps as much as I can over these last days

The white widow will be done in a few days. The others, I would give a week. They are all in the window to be chopped though. Good buds, nice job.

That yellow thing looked like a nanner. Lots of genetics herm and it's real late in flower, so not too bad.

Ok, so just leave it? The yellow thing, I mean. And I took my green crack clones off of the other plant I have, so I will b getting rid of that plants genetics.

Is there any way I could chop all at the same time? Or would that be a bad idea to wait and leave the widow? Would just be easier for drying and curing. But if not I can dry the widow seperate

You can totally leave the widow and harvest all at once. Personally I would try to wait them all out another 7-10 ish days. They are definitely in the window, but I bet they will swell more still. Don't stress about the trichomes your plants are going to be great.

I just read up on thee “nanners” and it says it could be genetics or waiting too long to harvest. I assume it’s likely genetics and not that I waited too long...

Alright, that’s good. I’ve only flushed wtih straight water once, going to do it again today and 1-2 more times.

Need to ask two things. First, my plant with the “nanner” looking things seems to have a bunch of them now that I’ve noticed. Should I chop to stop the spread to other plants/the rest of the plant?
Here are some pics.

The second thing is, my clones had a few leaves start to die off. I will post pics below.

Here is one compared to the healthier looking one on the right

And a couple of the leaves I took off

Thundercat · Apr 14, 2019

I'm not seeing any "nanners" in those pictures.

If there are a bunch though you can cut it sure.

Yeah I just mean those light green/yellow spots/bulges. Do you know what they are?

Edit: here are the other pics, may be more clear

Really its hard to tell. They might be trying to push out a fox tail.

Yes! That’s what I had been thinking of, I saw something about it a while back. Usually due to heat or light stress? But it’s all over the plant, not just at the top and heat has not been an issue, 75F max.

That’s not so bad if it’s just a bit of foxtailing, and I didn’t take clones from that plant (by accident), so that works out just fine, in case it’s a genetic thing.

It looks like it’s just some foxtailing, had a couple of so-called “expert” growers come by and agree it was nothing to fret.

What I’m wondering now, is whether it’s bad to harvest while soil is still wet?

I watered (straight water) yesterday, and planned to wait for the soil to dry out before harvesting...

Seems to just slow drying time a bit if it is till wet, which probably isn’t a bad thing. I think I’ll wait until just before lights on tomorrow to chop the down.

I will post pictures soon. Thanks for the help, guys!
