  1. Going through the stress of not wanting to harvest too early or too late lol

  3. Thank you! Hearing that makes me feel better lol. I did a lot of research, but it only takes you so far without just going for it. Growing can be much more stressful than some people try to lead you to believe. I'll feel much better when I get a successful harvest though :love-mj2:

  4. Also I have been picking a little bit earlier because I have a proper drying box and they will ripped a little during a long drying sesh

  5. Beautiful. So I use 3 different things in a garden. I use magnifying glass loops 10 and 30x. A wifi microscope. And the pocket scopes. U did very well. So take a test nug from the middle of plant and let it dry under the light! Than when it completely dries to smoke u will sample to see. I like doing this because it buys me a few days to not harvest early

  7. My computer times out the connection before it can load that 12 meg picture.
    Reset camera to lowest size picture and post something in the 1-2mg range.

    No such thing as to late. That is more Stoner science. IME. You can let them run till dead and all you get is ass kicking, mind blowing smoke.
    I run 10 weeks actual. 73 days or so for Indica-Hybrids.
    15 weeks for a good high side Sativa.

    You need 60x to really see what you have.

    5-10% amber or it simply is not done yet. Most breeders harvest dates are wildly optimistic.
    2 more weeks.

  8. My first grow....

    Didnt know how to take pictures worth a damn and my camera was shit but you get the idea.


    Lots of research lead me to a pretty fool proof method. Organic soil. 5x5 tent. 1000w HPS light in air cool hood.

  9. There is still alot of white pistils on the plant.. imo you can get a pretty good idea just from the naked eye!! I like to wait till almost all of my white hairs have turned orange and gone back into the buds by the time it is ready to harvest you almost can not even see the hairs anymore.

  10. That is heavily dependent on strain. Some of them stay hair as fuck.

  11. Thanks for all the replies! Going to wait about a week and a half and see what they do
     
  12. I've posted some close up pics too a few days ago. Already seeing some amber so I was curious.

  15. You're so old, that when you did your first grow... ground up dinosaur bones was the main source for a calcium supplement! Lol jk
     
  16. Couple more weeks. One thing i noticed: plants flowered under CMH seem to show a lot of amber earlier on when they are not ready for harvest, but under HPS they dont amber until they are for sure done. My assumption is that the more blue spectrum of light degrades the trichs a little faster.
