Yeah. This has been one of the best summers I have had in a while. I love watching these summer buds grow. They are already getting frosty. I cant wait to harvest these light dep plants so I can start focusing on the second and third crop a little more. I just have really not liked all the pest problems. Thrips, ants, root aphids, and now grasshoppers and spidermit. But dont trip. I got dis.

@S'Manta that plant is beasty. Very well done. You should get a good harvest out of her.
Thanks, Fresno.... that means a lot. Im going to cry when I have to chop her down. :'(

You may cry but they will be tears or joy as well as joint pain from all the trimming you are going to have ahead of you. One thing I can say about keeping your grow small is that you don't have to die trimming.... I love/hate harvest. LOL
Trimming is a very tedious job. If I get too high, I become a perfectionist and even then I'll stop and take a break. I think my harvest is going to be staggered cuz, Black Diesel is close to being done and a few others look like a late August harvest and then the slow pokes.

Sunshine I use those style cages. Get'um at home depot, 54". The 2 micky here are in those and the Jesus is bamboo staked. These 3 are going inside to finish.

3-5 zips, depends on if I fuck up. Sometimes I fuck up. Usually take down 1-2 per week.

I refuse to go back to newbie central...:-)

Light depravation.
Is this where you'd veg a plant to a desired size with 24/7 lights and then cut it down to 10/14 to get it to finish quickly? (Used those times as an example.). Smaller yield, quicker turnaround from start to finish.
I think I now understand light dep and vegging clones. :-)
Now to distinguish clear trichomes from milky. This is hard, for me. And yes I have a Kindscope magnifier. Truth be told I could have access to the Hubbell Telescope and still flounder like a fish out of water with this agonizing step.
Stay cool, folks.

I think your plants look great, especially for a new grower. Those guys didn't start out growing as good as they do now. It comes from experience, gotta keep at it and keep learning. I don't usually post up pictures of my fuck ups but I do have them. I'm sure everyone does.

Light deprived means covering the plants from the sun so that they have 12 hours of dark.

Hey Sam-
Did you get your transplanting done yet? I hear the temps are going to soar next week again.
Don't beat yourself up over the trichome thing, I never look at the trichomes, I just look at the plant as a whole to tell when she's done. On the buds the pistils will turn red/orange and will "draw back" into the bud. Then the calyxes' will swell up nice and fat. The plant will show a lot of leaf yellowing generally starting from the bottom up. She's using up all the sugars stored up in the leafs when this yellowing occurs. When I look at a bud/plant from far away it looks wet to me, but when she's done that wet look now has a silver/milky sheen to it.
I say for your first year post pictures here and get the advise from this community as when to harvest. After a year or two you will see when she's done and ready for harvest.
Hope I didn't make this more confusing for you, remember you have the support from this community behind you, so don't be afraid to ask questions, there are no dumb questions, just dummies not asking them.

Note the milky/silver sheen in the picture below.

I have a Black Diesel maybe a couple of weeks away, she stinks and has a stickiness to her and her fan leaves are yellowing, fast. Master Kush and Purple Diesel are stacking buds like @FresnoFarmer talked about. I study them while floating in the pool.
Thanks, TMB....hope I get to meet you at the BBQ. :-)
