This is my first grow I’m in a green house just using sun light used the nutrients pack from ilgm. This is gold leaf. Wondering why it’s not yellow or gold like add. What should I do now if anything? Look good and nice buds but doesn’t match pictures of gold leaf

Is the amber caused by aging of the trichomes or does the plant start producing amber when it gets a certain age?

Yes, as the tricombs mature they will change from clear to cloudy and then amber.

That part I know. What is the cause? Does an aging plant PRODUCE amber OR does the trichome change AFTER is has been produced?

This girl ready? More time? Pretty new to this. Mystery strain from an unlabeled auto sale pack.


Buttons bit touchy phones glitchy. Does spider mites decrease bud potency ?

i understand looking at trichomes for timing harvest with respect to thc effects

HOWEVER, i am growing pollinated plants so as to harvest SEEDS for future crops.
QUESTION: what are the signs to look for that seeds are fully mature and able to germinate?

i have sampled some seeds from various plants. obviously the green/small seeds are too young.
other seeds are brown, black, (but other than trying to germinate), what should l look for?

Why my Purple looks red?


After 9 weeks, it’s already to harvest but It looks red?
Any ideal how to harvest and dry Purple in the right way?

Orange Bud day 57 of flower…Is it time or wait another day or two. Sorry the pictures aren’t better. Used a magnifier held up to my camera lens for the close up. I’m thinking it’s time but wanted other opinions. Thanks!


New grower here, am somewhat flummoxed by harvest timing. Based on what I have read my plant seems to be ready? Any advice, is it too soon?

Greatly value input of experienced growers

Hi All,

Been a lurker here for a while but finally decided to join. After so many failed attempts one of my seeds finally germinated. This is my one and only plant this season.

I have checked the trichomes and they appear to be milky but it’s hard to tell. They also seem to differ along different areas of the plant.

If I can ask a huge favor, I’m wondering if you all could provide me with some guidance on how close to harvest I am? Here are some photos below.




Thank you all in advance,

Jason

When the trichomes get milky and some amber color and the hairs will turn reddish brown

This is my first ever grow. Today marks 3 months since germination. Being that it’s my first grow, I know I made some mistakes (like writing down the day flowering began). I’m not upset because it’s all part of the learning process. Are there any experienced growers that could assist in a timeline for harvesting? I don’t have a microscope to get a super closeup like others have been showing.
Any advice would be amazing!


I’m a no knowledge first time grower and I have my plants hanging today. Should I remove all the leafs that aren’t attached to the buds?

Thats looks amazing type what is it ?

wondering if anyone can tell me if this plant is ready to be trimmed or not

Question for someone who is able to.help me . I am close to harvest time . 3 or 4 Days at most. Whats the steps I need to take to harvest my grow? I know there is a period i am supposed to leave them in darkness as for cutting etc when.do you do that? What should my temp/ humidity be set too? Im going to do some reading up on it however Advice from a real.person and not a written document is usual alot more detailed & helpful than most grow documents because they usually are general info and not welll written directions to follow . I use cropsalts as my nutrients im currently feeding them.Cake which starts on week 8 until cutting.

  1. Should i starve the plant for a day or 2 of water and place it into darkness?
  2. Regardless whats the steps.to harvesting a successful drying from this point?
  3. The fork method? Whats is it
  4. Paper bag method what is it
    5.any other tricks that are helpful would help I work 14 hours a dayband have found it to be hard to research what i need to know because of the time. Just too tired after work to stay awake long enough to do the research. Trust me im not lazy just time restricted & physicality beat down thats why im asking because it’s just easier than finding the time at this moment to research grow documents that are usually vague or lacking in good directions & tricks that work better than the standard steps. Working outside in 100º F weather for 14 hours is tiring. Thank you for everyone’s help past, present, & in advance, I do very much appreciate it!
