Chinook haze was a breeze it will tax your soil and your carbon filter when she explodes, ran it an extra 10-days second time it was a mistake IMO lost some of the tangerine smell. I had to support some branches on two that were not in the Scrog...
Those look delicious... I am interested in the Hickock Haze myself as Ghost Train Haze is something I have always wanted to try out. I have 2 packs of Hickock and 1 pack of Chinook. I LOVE my hazes for sure!
How potent is it?
I also have a pack of RD Ghost Train Haze "feminized". I plan on popping a few of those a long with my Hickock Haze, on my next run. I think it would be interesting to compare them side by side.
And yeah man, I personally never let anything run over during flower myself. In my opinion it will always ruin a good crop... I enjoy smoking THC rich buds, rather than useless CBN "degraded THC" buds. I have been growing for 16 years now, but remember 6 years ago when I first joined the forums online. Being the hillbilly country boy that I am, I had always harvested based on when the hairs began to all mostly turn orange/red/brown, started receeding back into the calayx's and just had that hard, firm, finished touch, texture and appeal to it (if people would drop the scope and go with their instincts and feel, it is so so easy to determine when a plant or bud is finished).
But anyway, point is, when I joined the forums and got to reading, I found nearly EVERYONE recommended harvesting when trichs began to "turn amber...50/50 milky/amber...30% amber, 80% amber and etc etc"..
Well I thought that idea was neat and decided to try that out, being from around here an uneducated on the whole "book smart" aspects of growing, I was only naturally inclined and had learned everything I knew from personal experience and from local hillbilly teachings...
I purchased a scope and began experimenting, taking everyone's advice about the whole "amber this, amber that thing"...
Well it was not long, just after a few months of going by that recommendation that I started getting my first complaints about how the "new bud" I had been getting was different and more bland... complaints of potency not being the same, never getting compliments anymore... It hit me. The only thing different that I had been doing than usual, was going after that lovely amber trichome trend...
So next run, I went back to my old "eyeing and feeling it out" method and decided to check trichs with my scope and see just exactly how they appeared in color and form with my visual harvest method I had used for 10 years previous before I started searching out amber trichs. Guess what? There was NO amber hardly at all of any. It was completely bulbous, fat, nearly ready to explode mushroom heads that were clearly 100% white/milky in form and appearance.
From that day forward I NEVER got another complaint about a bland mediocre effect, or a stale odor, or a "it doesn't look as frosty as usual" comment... etc etc. It was finally fire again and had the true THC high that whatever given strain that I was handling in that moment is supposed to have and that good long euphoric high was back again and my profits and sales began to rise once again 3 fold at the least...
Fuck that CBN high... I will never understand why in the world anyone would ever enjoy feeling that "bored, stale, fuzzy and loss of terpine and THC high that replaces all of that amazing goodness euphoria with an almost stupid feeling buzz...
This post is not pointed towards you nor anyone else for that matter, on the entire RIU forum (except for those that push and recommend this to folks)... I just thought that I would share how much that over ripening sucks and will easily kill a mans buzz, business, profits, investments, and hard earned efforts at that, when instead people could be taught to grow the good ole One Hitter Quitter instead...
Just had to share this...
