Few weeks, from The pic im guessing 5 weeks in flower or there abouts? Maybe closer to 4 weeks?
Yeah I think it’s somewhere around the 30-40 day mark. 40 from first signs of stigmas and about 30 from the first starting of the stretch.
Mainly trying to figure out when I should flush. Also feel like I’m getting light burn on the top of a few colas. I’ll send a few pics in a sec
I start restricting nutes in the last two weeks. I like a good amount of amber trichomes so I start restriction as they get cloudy. If your a non amber person you might wanna start when they are 50/50 clear and cloudy. A tip: If you miss your mark for when you want to start restrictions. Do a hard flush of your soil, it will force the cannabilism to begin immediatly vs gradually.
So I’m at the point to where I’m checking trichomes now? Or in a few weeks? I still feel like the buds are gaining mass but I’m also not entirely sure
As well as are my stigmas supposed to still be way larger than the buds? Like do most people trim those down or my buds didn’t get big enough?
I start looking at trichones after 95% of hairs have turned red. Get a deep zoom! Takes al9t of the guess work out
I’d wait a while. Not worth evaluating while they’re still so early in flower. I wait til week 8 of flowering (usually week 9 or 10 after flipping lights) before I start looking.
Yeah it’s just being an auto while I did pay attention to my plant I don’t know when it technically flipped which is why I was asking how it looked. But with that being said I’m probably 5-6 weeks into flower based on my guesstimation.
Also it’s finally dank in my apartment
came home from the hospital after 2 days and opened the door to the smell of weed has been in here today right which was expected with no one in here for 2 days, and then I open my bedroom door and it was like getting hit by a brickwall
But the one that really opened my eyes was after we went and got by daughter from her first day of daycare/child development and I was getting our son out of the car while her and my daughter went inside and she left the door open for me……… I was a solid 20 yards away and was like no fucking way and just kept sniffing as I got closer and sure as shit it was from the house ![]()
expected and yet somehow surprising lol
Seriously. That’s how I feel every time I open my grow room door. Like “oh is that me? That’s me.”
So my Blue Lights is starting to bulk up a little but something inside me feels like it’s not going to amount to much bud wise, but he trichome production ![]()
it almost looks like velvet so I feel like I could still get something out of it and my question to you guys is what is your preference in doing so? Or better yet what’s the easiest/most efficient.
There is a point that quantity of bud is out of our hands. We provide the means, environment, nutes, light space and time. The rest is up to her. Focus on what you can control and work to controll it better in the future. Pop s’more seeds and get them under way if you think youll need more then what your getting in the coming harvest. Sooner the better.
Sorry I should’ve been more clear in my question. I guess I’m asking how I could harvest the trichomes? I know some people dry sift, some wash in ice cold water then press through the the screens and stuff, canna butter, just a way to harvest the triches into something useful in case the buds don’t turn into anything worth smoking.
Ahhh, my bad. Thats an easy one. Quick to med length dry sift, then infuse oil with the flower after to get every drop. Or you could do an open blast bho. Dangerous though without the right equipment.
I’m with Doc, I’d do a dry sift for the top shelf, and then personally run a QWET (everclear wash) to get the rest. Produces a quality concentrate even out of the sh!ttiest bud. It’s the closest thing to BHO without playing with literal fire.
So there was some light burn on a few nugs and I should have documented my process I’m regretting it now ![]()
but I cut the branches down to match the average and did a no no and gave er a little zappy zappy in the microwave. I had to go 2-3 minutes at half power starting with 5 second bursts increasing to 10 seconds stopping everytime you think it’s about to start popping or hear a pop. I ended up putting a paper towel in the bottom of my bowl half way through and I think it helped I just don’t know if I should’ve done it from the start or not. I left anything with trichomes minus the majority of the stem and any larger fan leaves but they were itty bitty popcorn like nugs and when all was said and done they looked darker and the leaves were crispy but when I ground it up it stuck together like kinetic sand so I was worried it was wet. It was a pain in the ass to get out bc my grinder is basically a grinder attached to a funnel and it DID NOT want to come out. It felt like it might’ve been a little wet somehow but I risked it for the biscuit and rolled that piece up. Probably had about 1-1.5 grams and she actually burned evenly so if she was wet it didn’t effect the burn. It didn’t taste good but it didn’t taste bad nor punch you in the throat which was better than I expected it to be. It took until about half the joint between my wife and I (so dope to be able to smoke something I grew with her) before I started to feel something which was worrying me at first but we got to 3/4 and it went out on me and just left it alone bc ya boi is muuufuuuckin toasted son ![]()
I told her how everyone on here says that after they smoked their first grow they never stopped trying to eliminate the need to buy dispo anymore and I can see why
bc if it only gets better from here I’ll be thoroughly pleased.
