Hi there new to forums basically because I'm assuming my neighbor who is an avid grower, dropped a bucket off on my doorstep with two plants that said "got a late start free to a new home" so basically where I'm at is they were not doing so hot outdoors because of the sudden climate drop and I was forced to move them inside to my (4) 23w CFLs and (2) 100w floro tubes. I'm just looking for feedback and some ideas on possibly harvesting these tiny ladies. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Im no expert just a beginner, but from what ive read im assuming the plant is nitrogen deficient as the stems are red, you should get some nutes for it and keep it at 12/12 is my guess, could be wrong. Nice of your neighbour to drop in 2 ladies for free
Yeah he's done weird shit like this before, so I'm no worried about that aspect, I was assuming nitrogen deficiency, but was skeptical to give it nutes and burn it. It's still on 12/12 and the buds look........decent for going through so much stress in such little time. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
The pistils are looking fairly mature, if you have a magnifying glass inspect the trichomes to see how mature they are, we dont know how long its been in flowering and you dont want the trichomes to turn amber either
It looks done. Yield isn't much but it looks yummy and ready Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
The one bud looks done but there are still pistils coming from the armpits and throughout the top they are clear. I will update tomorrow after I magnify Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Yeah your better of inspecting the trichomes then depending on the pistils as they vary from plant to plant
I am somewhat familiar with inspecting trichomes, as I read many forums - I will search more, but what are some key things to look for? Thanks guys you really are coming in clutch helping me Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
If the trichs are clear they still need time, they are milky/cloudy when ready if there turning amber it means that the thc has started breaking down which will result in lower potency, also dont forget to flush the plant before harvest!
After I check the trichomes tomorrow and see where I'm at I'll start to flush. I'm somewhat convinced that it's atleast close to time. Only tomorrow will tell! Thanks for all the info! Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
@[member="friendly farmer"] A little info about the importance of properly matured cannabis... http://www.clear-uk.org/the-importance-of-matured-cannabis/
Hey fellas quick update, trichomes still very clear, no cloudiness at all to my surprise, and along with that I have 4 new sets of pistils. The one smaller plant's leaves have perked back up and look like new but the larger one not so much yet, still a bit yellow and droopy. Thanks for all the help and advice guys!

Flip it to 18/6 or 20/4 amd let it reveg for 4 weeks But yes it needs a 1/4 strength nutrient feeding Jumper organic cfl veg out and 400 watt hps flower http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1330628-Jumpers-400-Watt-Organic-Run
That strain looks nice, let it run chop it down and reveg it take some cuttings and grow it properly looks like if grown properly will produce some nice buds
