Hi i got three plants in the flowering stage right now. They are looking great to me. I have a small sour bubbles plant, her buds look the best for sure. I also have a sour aliens with tons of bud but it looks like mostly just crazy amounts of white hairs. And my third plant is a dj short blueberry which is about a week n a half behined in the flower cycle but starting to look n smell great. I havnt been keeping good track of time but i think im on week 5 or 6 i was thinkin bout flushing the two older girls and n using just balanced ph water with molases. Heres some pictures of them lookin all sexy n stuff. My first grow, pretty simple set up in the end of my extra closet with a 250w hps a mini dehumidifier a filtred air fan blowing in and a rotating fan blowing out the open end of the closet. Whatta u peoples think?
Thanks dude. I took some two clippings yesterday cause they werent geting much light n i figured they were jus takin energy from my cola so id figured id take a sample. Here it is drying 2.5gs, will prob be about .5 smokable bud
Thatd be cool. Its from the sour aliens plant tho n all its buds are jus lookin fluffy n mostly like white hairs. Mad pistolly
looks way too early to be trying to cut and smoke looks like they need about 3-5 more weeks but they do look good for where there at

Still waiting on my new job to start. Got lucky and might work for my gfs parents company. They dont care if i smoke or grow. Im mainly grow for my girl and for the straight fun of it. Definetly a hobby. I was gonna flush in a week n harvest in 3weeks. But im running into trouble. Ill be going to boston for the holiday. A quick 4days but thats right around wen ill be curing n shit.... Mf i was hopin it wud all be done right before as a nicce xmas gift for my girl. N maybe a vape.
All the hairs are still white and are standing straight up for the most part. When the buds mature, the hairs recede and thin out as well as change color. I think you should wait another 3 weeks. I would get a 60X microscope and check the colors of the trichomes in about 3 weeks.
So u think i should let this stuff flower thru xmas? Or cud i be harvesting by 3 wks. I want just cloudy trics as the two i would be harvesting r indicas n couch lockish enough
Well, the only way to know for sure is to check the trichs with a microscope in about 3 weeks. I think 3 weeks is the minimum.
Then i prob wont be doin it again, was hoping to help yield more quality bud than let those lower branches take away from the cola

Its cool to be trimming fan leaves back right? My humidity is hard to keep down so i try n keep a good airflow thru the plants. I wont do anymore samples for now but is it cool to clip branches earlier when vegging?
I'm pretty sure that trimming during veg is an acceptable practice. It, like anything else, depends on WHO you're asking. I wouldn't go too fuckin' crazy, remember that a plant's leaves are vital to its solar collection and hence photosynthesis. I trimmed mine up quite a bit a while back and really regretted it. Also, remember it's kind of like mixing paints or cooking ingredients in that it's best to have a clear vision of what the result will be before performing the respective act(s). In mixing of paints, for instance, if you add yellow to blue in small amounts, you can be sure to have the shade of green you envisioned (or require), rather than the color you didn't want. In other words, you can't put a fan leaf back on once you've cut it off!!! sorry for the ramble.
By the looks of things you appear to be around week 4 of flowering I'd say. You will need at least another 4 weeks imo prob more, they have a ways to go.
