Spiderfarmer. Don’t argue the ability to produce 🔥

100% milky is always my goal.
this never happens without doing multiple harvests, while waiting for bottoms to ripen up.
always end up with 5% or more amber.

Looks amazing. Good work.

Whats the status on that plant you suspect to have tmv? I had a plant that showed the same exact twisting and yellow discoloring and it turned out to be broad mites. I hear tmv is incredibly rare.. which is why I ask your status on it . Good luck with grow looks great !

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

Sample I sent off was destroyed as the lab wouldn’t test cannabis.
i will snap some photos of the suspect TMV plant tomorrow. Only one in the tent with issues. But so minor, no sign of mites, all the signs of TMV. Unfortunate They couldn’t test for it, I’m certain once labs start taking samples here in Canada we will add all kinds of scientific research for cannabis.

My wedding cake loves to go 72-78 for appx. 15-20% amber.

Can you share a photo showing what 15-20% amber actually looks like? How is 15-20% actually quantified? Is it a round about visual, or do you count actual trichomes?

Wow that’d be crazy if you legit have tmv. Why did they refuse to test cannabis ?

Just overall guess. No one has time to count hundreds of trichomes.

I'm stumped on a plant I think has TMV. Any opinions or ideas are welcome thanks It a toofless alien auto that should have flipped to flower 3 weeks ago

Guess?

I'm coming up on my very first harvest soon. I don't feel comfortable guessing. I'm trying to gather other growers techniques for establishing the ratio of milky to amber. One quick way is to count out 10 trichomes. If one out of 10 trichomes is amber then that's 10% amber, or three out 20 is 15%. Then applying the same technique on a few different places on the plant. Quick and easy. No need to count hundreds of trichomes.

BUT I don't know. I really don't know how others estimate a ratio. I've not gathered enough information to feel comfortable doing it that way. Maybe some of the more experienced reputable established long time growers do it differently, and can chime in.

You'd need a much bigger sample size than 20-30 and different parts of the plant will be more or less amber depending on how much light they get. You really just have to look at them and make an educated guess.

I think you're over thinking this. The degree of error isn't too big with a quick guess and it won't make a big difference.

I have nothing against this company or know much about them but just reading the thread title made me laugh. Not the best advert for fire safety coming from a light company. Sorry that's all I have to offer.

Not sure how I never noticed that but now I can't unsee it.

Definitely not overthinking it. Especially as a newb who hasn't done this before. I want to remove the guessing. There's no need to guess as all the evidence is there right in front of our eyes. Plus I don't have enough growing experience to make an educated guess.

Estimating makes better sense to my brain. Maybe after a handful of grows, I can get better at guessing.

 

[the rrock]

definitely overthinking ii can tell from 5 feet away if a plant is ready or not, why 15-20% ,why not 30-40%I let em grow until they stop maturing. counting trichomes LOL

+1 lmfao. Reading this board makes you wonder how anyone ever grew weed before scopes were invented. And wtf do you want 20% amber before you cut? That mean you lost 20% potentcy! LOL Trich scope has to be the number one weed growing internet fake news, copycat plagiarized and regurgitated bs ever.

If I need to adjust the title to Spiderfarmer. My house is on . You will be the first to hear. Well after insurance, and my phycologist.

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

Look at the crab hands on the TMV suspect.
I really have no idea. Tried flushing 2 different times, scoped for bugs. Same nutes and ph as others. Wierd as balls.
Mr.g

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

Like I stated. I don’t do ratios. I go till ripe, and milky. Some will naturally be amber when this occurs.
Mr.G

 

[growsince79]

Actually there is no sign of decreased thc levels until you reach 80% of the trichomes being 100% amber. The plant continues to produce thc while some of the other thc converts into cbn.

LOL we must be growing different plants in a different world. Does your buds get better after 2-3 years? LOL
