it differs from strain to strain and how well you trim stem thickness...i hear any where from 1oz= 1/8-1/4 wet to dry give or take

Anyone know why I'm not seeing many pistils growing from the buds?
As you can see there were some pistils (they have turned to brown/red hairs), but there doesn't seem to be as many as there should. Is humidity a big factor for the pistils to flourish? I have buds, but nor many pistils...

Here is my new cloner experiment. I cut some new clones to test her out and size them for my next grow in a week or two.

Happy Birthday Bob!!!

I'm just coming up on 10 weeks, which is when the cycle should end. I've read 10-12 weeks for this strain to finish.

I would think its time to harvest if u have 50%- 70% brown pistils, plants stopstopped producing crystals, plants stop producing resin, the fan leaves have turned yellow and started to fall off, the smell has reached a peak, bud mass has not increased in the past few days. little help for a happy harvest, nice grow

actually very little help.........

What strain is it drynoroast?
Did you start counting flower weeks when you changed lights otr when the pistils stared showing good?
Either way i would say ten weeks in should be right for choping. The best bet would be to put a post up in the harvest and cure forum.

I've done it too, i think twice.
Once at about 7 weeks, and one just the other day on my tall girl. It's drying now.

i threw together a few cool dryers to speed things up a bit these nugs will be ready for jars in about three days if the house is at 70%! i think because its at room temp i really dont loose anything? food dehydrators do the same exact thing and dried fruit still has all the sugar /vitamins??? or maybe i could introduce a lil heat pad like for a turtle tank?? i think they run around 95 degreesF.

I made a couple dryers too but what worked best for me was to use an empty cabinet; I used wire hangars to make the drying rack, I cut the bottom out of some tin oven pans and taped window screen, and sealed light out. I added a humidifier to keep levels steady and built a charcoal filter to scrub the odors.

Wink, whenever I build stuff like those dryers I give em eyes and name them like the droids in Star Wars.

By the way, "those are not the droids you are looking for..." lol

Okay, the Jack Herer is still frosty with cloudy white trichomes. A week or so more... There are some sites where there are still bright green pistils growing, but not too many.

I am going to wait for the pistils to change as most of you do, so it shouldn't be long now.

I got a CO2 tank but now need the needle valve/solenoid setup

Jack Herer? Wasn't it Lights of Jah or something?

How much you spend on the co2 setup? Is it a big thing?

Pics?

You seen my babies yet?

Jack Herer and Lights of Jah are the same strain I'm learning. Maybe not exact but very similar genetics. I have been using "Jack" because more people know that name than Lights of Jah.

I picked up a small CO2 tank that should be perfect for my box. It holds 2 lbs I think. Pics later...

your pistils will die off and regrow as the plant grows. How far into flower is it?

Both of my grows this happened and the 2nd pistil growth was a lot compared to the first; even if my first pistil sprout was amazing.

Also do you have any pictures that show the whole set up + nugget formation. Like a picture of all the nugz + setup or each individually? I'm about to do this same set up and it was be very helpful. Answer a lot of my questions about my yeild and what not.
