mate i cant help you with your problem but just one thing you should be mindful of is the changing of trichomes from clear to amber in the indian strains... i found that with my indian strains it was always best to not wait for the trichomes turn amber and rather you should go by the stickiness of the buds...when i harvested...the buds i harvested when they were stickiest turned out to be the best ones....How are everyone doing? any updates?
Btw I've got a bit of a setback.
I just checked upon my final budded plant which I was supposed to chop in a week or two. Upon close examination when I separated the leaves to see the buds I ended up spotting a huge layer of white spider eggs laid there. (Guess it's my own fault coz I stopped spraying to avoid pesticide riddled buds but those eggs were quite dense)
That too on my top two colas where the fattest buds were there. Guess there's no quitting when it comes to taking care of the plant. Took my eyes off for 2 weeks and this happened!
So I took drastic action ... cleaned out the eggs and went full power with pesticides, kept a portable fan to dry out the bud so mold does not set in.... however I did end up shocking the plant... leaves are turning black and falling off and its not the same.
Buds still need to grow as the trichomes are still clear not white or amber.
Is there any natural way or any other method to stem this damage and get it back to normal?
the ones i waited to turn amber were not as good high wise....i realised that as the buds matured and the trichomes turned amber...they became less sticky and even the smell started fainting a bit...so if your buds feel sticky right now you might wanna chop one and see how it smokes....they might just be ready
