[Colleenhh]

Hi! How will I know when to pick? They really stink, I’m getting concerned that someone will see.

[Nug-bug]

Still too many new pistols, white hairs
When they start turning brown get a 60-90 x’s microscope and look at the trics
That’s the best indication to go by.
When the mushroom head on the trics are all cloudy that’s peak thc!

[Colleenhh]

What is a mushroom head?

[WillyJ]

Looks like you got some time to go… how long have they been flowering? Like @Nug-bug said you want the pistils to turn color…do you have a magnifier? Check the trichomes…they are the sticky stuff that resembles sugar…they will have a little ball at the top hence “mushroom head” the little ball if clear not ready… if cloudy ready when they start to turn amber more couch lock effect I usually go for about 20% Amber. it’s all preference when they start to turn cloudy on the effect you want…if you search trichomes on here you should find a lot of info that will explain it better…

[Colleenhh]

Hi and thank you. I stared them on September 19,2017.
Seems like a long time. Is that normal? I’m growing to get higher CBD so I won’t ( hopefully) have to stay on opioids.
Thanks for your help again!

[WillyJ]

Yes if your outside if you started at the beginning of your growing season…I hope you get what you hoping for…

[Colleenhh]

Is this bud ROT? One is like this but the other isn’t ? Should I cut plant or just that bud ?
Can you still dry and use or discard ? Ahhhhh !!! @WillyJ @ILGM.Claire @ILGM.Claire

[Colleenhh]

Ps the plant in the back is Citronella half dead

[WillyJ]

Unfortunately yes looks like bud rot from what I can see…how far along are they? Remove that plant first carefully put a bag over it and seal at bottom then remove from area…if you can I suggest you carefully remove the uninfected plant first and set aside…you don’t want spores from infected plant landing on the other plant… @Colleenhh
