Alright so I have two lovely ladies nearing the end of their flowering. The sativa imo is another two weeks. Majority Clear Trichs. But my Indica on the other hand is just about 100% Cloudy trichs. The Trichomes arent as nearly abundant as the Sativa but i believe thats normal, right?

Pictures soon, at this moment they are still in the last hour of dark.

The Indica is at 6 weeks flower on the 1st. 100% Cloudy Trichs. Heres my plan:

Last night i switched to just RO water in the RES. Figured a 3 day flush of sorts ( i know the argument/ debate on flushing etc)

Chopping her on schedule the 1st.

Drying for as long as needed. Thinking it will be quicker than most - CFL grow - not as dense nugs im figuring.

One day/ night in a paper bag

Then into jars, burping once a day for 2-4 hours forever.

Ive read waaay too much information and everything is getting crazy mixed up. I know there are a million threads on this, but considering this is my first grow. Im not buying a hydrometer, or a couple. No broveda packs.

Can someone please maybe help me refine my plan. Or some tips?

I forgot to also ask, what do i do with the sugar leaves when trimming? I would like to make edibles with the sugar leaves. Just dry then use? I wouldnt need to cure it right? Was going to do the crock pot technique. Dont want to mess with hash. And also the little popcorn buds. Their trichs are cloudy as well but the pistils are still white and all Einstein looking.

Heres what she looks like as of this morning.... Always had a problem with her and a slight def. Its from the RO water and using epsom salts im almost positive of.

Looks like you got a couple weeks to go in my opinion I would say around 2-3 weeks. Looking good hope you enjoy the smoke.

Are you looking at leaf or calyx? Look at calyx and when they turn milky and maybe a little amber chop it. Time frame wise I still think you got a week at least before you should start checking with a microscope.

Ive been checking everywhere.... but getting deep down in to the calyx's they are about 10% still clear-ish. I can agree with the extra week.

I was trying to chop at all cloudy, and almost no amber.

If u want to use the sugar leaves then dry em up and u can cure it just like the bud if u want to bring out the smell and taste more but that's just better for making hash u don't really need to cure if u r making it into edibles IMO

awesome. I was planning on making edibles so i wouldn't be as tempted to dig into the curing buds. :) I never really liked hash... i guess mainly because never smoked good hash.

You can freeze the trimming and trichomes with dry ice I think it is then you knock'em off the trichomes and it makes Powder Hash the video is on YouTube My trichomes are currently 1/4 amber tint this is exactly 8 weeks 12/12 I started the seeds soaking & germination on Xmas day I'm harvesting in the morning :joint:

i use a slow cooker and coconut oil to make cannabutter. i put all the stems, stalks, fan leaves and trimmings in the slow cooker. i had 4 plants in my first grow and probably wound up with a quarter pound of the above stuff. i put about a stick and a half of butter worth of coconut oil in the slow cooker, then the trim, etc and topped it off with water so everything was submerged. i cooked it on low for about 12 hours and strained the mixture through a t shirt into a large bowl. squeeze out as much liquid as you can. let than liquid cool in the fridge. i also heat up some more water and dunk the t shirt full of stuff in the water and squeeze that out well and let that water cool in the fridge. once cool, you will have the cannabutter. i then use it like butter in recipes. brownies worked best for me. one brownie was pretty heavy duty. my wife had to sleep the buzz off it was so intense for her. edibles are awesome. good luck.
