Still not 100% on how to tell

[Beachwalker]

I've flushed 2 small grows so

Thanks, the plants not the biggest, not that many buds, Can I ask "when I dry the buds do I cut that bud down and cut it into 3 for example and dry together or just have one huge bud lol"

There's different ways to do this but in general buds are not cut up, this is how I do it..

Keep temperature at 68° & humidity 59%, hang them for 4 days then put some in a jar with a hygrometer for 6-8 hrs., if it reads 59-60% rh I then jar them and begin the Cure, if not re-hang and checked them daily, hope this helps!

Agree, I keep it around just to look at it!! That's a contest winner right there!

Lol, put it in a glass dome on the table and marvel at her lol

I have a soft spot for purple bud anyway! I grew some by accident a few years ago

Thanks so much for that, wow I wish my little Auto could yield what you're drying !!!,

I'm going to post some some trichome pictures tomorrow for you to have a look at, I have one of those wifi microscopes somewhere I can attach to my phone, I don't know if it's my eyes, the loupe or the plant lol but I still can't see properly

 

[Izzy1980]

Man it's hard to shoot with a microphone,

Can anyone see these properly?,

Also, I've always had an issue of no smell coming from my plants, no idea why, they smell like diesel if.you.stick your hooter on the bud but no strong aroma, ever?

[Izzy1980]

Here she is today, varied opinions if she's nearly there or a way off?,

Anyone else have an opinion?

 

[Brotofsky]

She’s awesome! I’d still say a week or two more.

AlwAys watch the trichomes there almost like a skin on a fruit that plant looks fire if the trichomes are clear you got a month left man. Dont pick it. I repeat dont pick it.

I'm listening to you lol, how far away do you think?

 

[MIGrampaUSA]

That part is hard to say. It's something you watch and evaluate and take it day by day.

 

[Izzy1980]

A few of the fan leaves are annoying me, doing their job shading my buds but I could do with them not being there,

Can I snip a couple of without her going into shock or reverting back to Veg

 

[Izzy1980]

Got my Microsocope thing working so here's a few pics of her trichomes, didnt realise they were still so clear???

no, just bend it/ move it out of the way, or bend the branch a bit..

the more you interrupt the environment of your plants especially during flowering affects everything!
i remember reading here a time ago, some of the best advice for new growers as you are with your plants and we are not!
is have confidence!!
search science NOT bro science,
you know what you have done to them, start with low stress ways to fix first ( most times problems are fixed with one these sources).
whatever you do to a plant usually takes up to 5 days to see results of what you did.
basically what the grower said was
LITFA
leave it the fuck alone.
for people who are new to growing i suggest get a hobby while growing so you don’t create so much trouble/problems with your grows..
compounding mistakes on top of each other..
almost like they hope to have something to do with the grow everyday,
LITFA!!!!
my morning rant

 

[Izzy1980]

It's taken me this long to a stage where I can nearly grow 1 plant lol,

I used to over water, over feed, then stuck to the instructions of the fertz and they died, started low and kept it low and ( relative) success, I couldn't stop fiddling with them and poking them and checking them lol,

I'm more relaxed now but still poke them occasionally

Do you use Boveda sachets? Or recommend yourself?

I often use them for long-term storage but never to cure

 

[Izzy1980]

Well, here she is.a few days later, any thoughts?
