peace

P.S. Those flowers look very close from here
 
really guys? how close would you say the plant is to harvest from the pics you see? could i cut the very top off like the fattest part of the cola since its super ripe? its been flushed for 4 days now, hasn't had nutrients for a week.

double jj,

lol, i know, those are just fan leaves, none have any resin on em. they are the damaged ones that were hiding the buds beneath.
i might make this plant into hash depends how dense the nugs are. they feel very dense, like little tiny balls of good ness. the resin looks just like the pic on here



and from a far the flowers look like the ripe plant that was posted in that thread called "harvesting, a tutorial" looks grey not white. so im guess its nearing ripe.



it does not look anything like this pic that says its not ready

 
ive heard that from someone else too.so maybe i will take the cola down 2nite and let the bottom flowers grow some more. the trichomes are all milky with maybe one out 50 that is clear and maybe 1 out of 15 that is amber. almost every single hair has browned and retracted back into calyxs.
 
hey rob,

here are the 2 bills, last month and this month. this is about 2 weeks worth of electricity we used.








ALSO, does anybody know how to figure out how much the light consumes? it uses about 360 watts and the fan about 200 watts. check the pics for the KWH rate. i dont understand.
 
i figured about 55 bucks a month. but i think im way wrong. i times 360 watts x 18 hours..then divide that by 1000 then take that number and multiply by kwh rate then times that by 30 days. i have no idea i dont want to ask for 2 lil money and dont wana ask for 2 much. next months bill we will deffinately know how much we used more than the regular.
 
i took the top off seems how it was prime. i left the smaller branches on at the bottom for a week. i had my neighbor check it cuz he grows lots of outdoors and he said its good to go along with other ppl ive talked 2. her nugs are super dense from what i harvested. mostly flower and hardly any leaf. trimming was a breeze.
i cant believe how dense the nugs are on this plant. compares to my indoor white widow. i mean i might have a full o cuz wet weight is over 3 oz so far

I was saying another week because of your description of 1 out of 15 amber.. that strain is pretty good at about 30 percent amber.. But im sure it will still be great where its at.. probably pretty clear headed :)
 
ya i like the head high better than the body stone. cutting it up was a tragedy but seeing how the buds grew blew my mind. the bud structure is perfect and calyxs are everywhere in abundance. we have 4 in the tent so those are going to be kickass 2.

i left the bottom part of the plant alone, its still growing, about 5 branches/buds left. i just the cola off and the biggest branch.

Looks good bro. I'd just hang those up somewhere dark and cool with indirect slow airflow. I usually pop them into brown paper bags in that awkward "jar or not?" stage until I know for sure it's perfect for jars.
 
ya im really pleased with it. i still have 6 more buds to cut from the plant. ill give it about another few days. im not kidding when i say all the flowers are dense as shit. even the lower ones are dense! i cant wait to weigh it out.

So I am at home waiting for my top to come. Thinking about my stupid phone bill and money thats going to have to leave haha! For a better cause! Get some people paid back and keep truckin a long! I am hoping i can harvest soon with my others. They seem to be taking for ever but getting fat. I will post a pic when the top comes! Whats everyone up to?

Hey Bonghits, don't hang up your buds in front of the window, light degrades thc after harvest, and you don't want the sun heating up your buds and making them dry too fast, or it'll end up harsh.

I feel you Gopee, I had a thousand bucks in my hand the other day and now I have 500. Dammit. Lol but I'm happy because I'm paying for both my car and my truck to get fixed. Then I am selling this truck... I might sell my Sonota too, I really do love these new Sonotas but I need a fucking Subaru up here on the mountain, trucks are tough to drive in such cramped quarters. I'm setting like 250 aside to build a sweet UC or MPB system, then I'll start with horizontal hoods and eventually work into baverb (bare vertical bulbs, keep up everybody!) And with the other 250 and my next pay check this Friday, I am probably going on a banzai trip up north, possibly all the way to southern oregon. Hopefully everyone I wanted to trade clones with is still down for it, I just need this fucking SFV mom to recover already, if she starts taking much more time, her, my favorite BD, and my biggest OSK are all getting their own mom tent with 400/600w mh, not sure what to use yet.

Speaking of clones, I wanted to hit up alotta too, but looks like you guys already have a big order. Let me know if you can still figure something out alotta, just let me know if you need any equipment. I'm always down to pay a bill for a month's electricty used by your mom lamp. Haha, if you want to keep up with our demand you'll have to upgrade! hahaha.
