I love me some info. :D

One last thing, I did mention it in the OP, but it might have been overlooked.

I stopped feeding nutes about 2 weeks ago, maybe 3. And by the looks of it, she won't be ready for another 2 weeks + majority of the leaves are still nice and green but one or two are starting to yellow off (I know this is the plan) I am just wondering if I stopped the nutes to early? Should I continue with juat plain ol h2o, or can she get another feeding?
I never change feed. I never stop feeding.

I don't know were all that comes from except Nute Rip off.

OP. You can't tell without a microscope. The are about $60.

The way to tell by eye is the hairs. If you don't have at least 1/2 browning, it is still not ready. I use a microscope to harvest the Indica dominates a bit early.

But, that's just me.

Can you post a picture of an entire bud?

Imo, microscopes are the sure way- however, once you get some experience growing, you will be able to harvest @ Peak Potency Without a scope- every time. The window: early, middle and late signified by receded calyxes, withered pistils (about 75%) - and swollen bulbous-resin glands. That's when i pick them. Our last harvest of Sensi's Super Skunk blew us away after just 2 tokes. Just my 2 cents-DSCN0717.JPG Super Skunk, grown under a single 65w CFL lamp. About middle peak potency on this one-

The only time i would ever go to Late Peak Potency would be when i'm trying to bring out a "heavy" indica stone. Otherwise, it's always early to middle for me :eyesmoke:

if not sure dry some of that bitch out and give here a smoke that tells all.... but what do i know
Those were some old pics, and the smoke is all gone from that little grow. It was tasty and potent, but we're on another run now. Pics and smoke report will follow :blsmoke:

Tried some Mcguyver sh1t just now. Cam on 4x times zoom and took these pics through a jewelers loupe.

Can someone pls say if they are cloudy or clear? Coz I have no idea.

Definately no amber yet.

I stopped feeding nutes for the past two weaks and some leaves are starting to turn yellow. Dunno if I stopped feeding to early though?

Attached is two pics of the buds. First of all, my camera is not capturing the essence of the plant, it looks better irl.

Secondly, I know the buds are a bit small, but seeing as this grow was done with only 3 10w cfl's, I am actually quite impressed.

Oh and its a hermie, so yes, the seed pods are swollen with babies.

Third pic is the loupe that I have to inspect it closer.

Thx indicat33. Not too worried about the hermie. I took it as a learning curve, and treating it as a hobby. Funny enough, and I know alot of ppl here are gonna say, no scream WTF?!?! But this is a complete grow hobby, the last time I smoked was about ... 6 years ago? Lol. It has just always been such a nice looking plant, and has been one of the things I wanted to tick of mt bucket list. One thing for sure, hermie or not, my friends are gonna score big time, out of my new found hobby

Doer, thanks to you and ALL the other ppl of RIU, I was a member of another forum briefly, but changed to RUI because of the amount of knowledge on this forum. I truly wish I could buy you all a beer, but thats impossible, so the only thing that I can think of to show my appreciation, is get as good as all y'all, and contribute some wise insights to other noobs.

One day, one day!!

Oh OP< About the "friends."

We have a tried and true motto here, we all take very seriously.

The ones that don't follow this advice, are the ones we get the "I got Burned!" stories from.

Say nothing. Tell No One.

One last thing, I have an oscillating fan in the dry box atm, it is pointed down so that it does not blow directly on buds, but the air rhar is bouncing of the walls is making the buds slightly move, is this a problem?

No problem. The plants will think it is really windy outside, perhaps a slight earthquake too .. lol- but seriously, your plants will be fine - this should not create any problems.:peace:

Sorry if I did not explain in detail, this is not on the plants anymore, but on the drying buds, after chop down

Dude, you are okay- I dry mine without any air circulation. I hang manicured colas on coat hangers and simply hang them in my closet for 2 weeks, leaving the door open for slight air exchange. That's all you need bro- after 14 days they toke SO smoothly in my bowl :joint:
