If you wait until you have about 70-80% amber and the rest milky then thats when or around peak potency which is what you want

Yea a lot of people, actually I think EVERYONE say the trich determines the kind of high, but then on internet I see that every strain has its own particular type of high, so is that the high I should be going for ? Or is it just a matter of personal taste. I dont know this is my first grow.

Different strains have different THC amounts, which in turn affects potency. The color of your trics reveals the chemical process going on that determines what kind of high you get. Milky trics are higher in THC so it is a more cerebral high, amber trics is where the THC is breaking down into another component (can't remember now) that causes the narcotic feeling.
To your earlier reply to my reply.... You should be marking how many days past first sign of budding. For example, my plants were on the 12/12 cycle for 65 days, but they were budding for 58. The 12 day gap inbetween switching light cycles and flowering should not be counted. (I say this because I interpreted your response that you are x amount of days since 12/12, not first flower.)
Anyway.... Good luck man, keep us posted.

like you said each strain has its own type of high and to feel the high your buds need to be mature when they are harvested, and they also need to be dried and cured properly for the thc to be its strongest, and for the terpines to release those great smells we love about our weed

yea,without proper curing u wont have good smells,and if u harvest to early or too late the bud will not be as good,tats usually the shit u buy that they call Regs lol,all the regs i buy r from my friends who couldnt wait and cut 2 early,still get me high as a kite,but yea,they dont cure either so yea,just wait awhile neways

Yeah I had read about that THC breaking down into cbd or cbn or some sort. ATM the trcis look the same but over night most of the bud turned brown. Awesome.
If you can call that first picture day 1 of budding then now I'd be on day 42.

I guess that's what got me wondering, the maturity. My shit says THC 18% and CBD 0.1%. What's this suppose to mean. Oh man i'm high and so confused lol.

42 days for what your trics look like is alot better! In 12-18 more days (imo) you should be ready!
I am NO PRO, but what I think your strain means is that it's max potency will consist of 18% THC, and if you wait properly .1% will degrade into CBD. I am also a little unclear as to this but I believe that is what it is supposed to mean. I know when you buy seeds it tells you the THC level that each plant can produce.
Anyway, keep it up!

pretty much nailed it.18% is its max potency and cbd is how much narcotic effects it will give off,like making you feel sleepy,higher cbd levels will give you a more narcotic feeling while lower levels will leave with more of a head high,producing more effects to your mind like paranoid and euphoric outlook on things.cbd just makes you feel very very tired and can help sleep very easily.42 days for what your trics look like is alot better!

Hi, been reading RIU for months now, excellent knowledge.
Now, i have a problem. Its a top priority for me to chop at mainly cloudy, nice energy high, BUT where I live, no such thing as "420 scopes" and the like.
Only thing I can get my hands on is a 20x loupe. Should I go for it? will it be enough?
Sorry if this is an off topic, noob question, but i'd really appreciate opinions.
Cheers, thanks for all the info

Cool, I'm understanding this.
Is it alright to chop the cola and let the rest grow ? The thing is she's tall and the plant behind it doesnt get too much light. And I cant move the tall one back otherwise the light won't reach its top. Complicated set up. Any suggestions ? The only reason i'm keeping her is beacuse the little buds at the bottom ar still immature.

im sure u can chop off the kola bro,i know people who have to get light to the other parts of the plant,but make sure its ready,check the trichs on it if they looks good then im sure u can,its like topping a plant,but dont just take my opinion get a few others 2

the top is ready.. im sure. I'm gonna leave it one night and next morning i'm taking her down. Probably the whole plant.
Then my other babies are gonna have much more space I think its a good idea. I'll put pictures before the chopping.
