Looks pretty ready. Get a loop to look for amber trics
Will do . Does time of harvest matter?
Thanks does time of day matter for harvest

what do you mean? As in time of day? Personally I pull them after the 12hrs of light, figuring that time is photosynthesis time.
If you meant if you let it go longer, then yes, that changes the high, and in fact, if this is your first grow (good job by the way, way better than my first grow, course that was in the late 80s, lil different then)
But anyways, i'd suggest NOT pulling the entire plant, pull maybe 3/4 of it, and letting the remaining 1/4 go another 6-10 days, and see if you prefer the high of the plant going a lil further, reason I say this, is I prefer my herb fairly ripe, some don't, but the high changes fairly substantially if you let it ripen longer. One thing is for certain, most varieties will pack on a lil more weight the longer you go (usually the lower buds fill out), especially sativas
Ya sorry time of day and thank u tried babied her lol and uhm its Durban poison 100%sativa how long is a typical dry time

IMO, terpenoid content is always highest after a night of darkness. The reasoning goes that light destroys a lot of terpenes, and so you should be chopping everything down after a night of darkness when terpenoid content is highest.

interesting, i'll try that for the hell of it.

impossible to tell you that, all depends on the ambient humidity, if its dry out, it'll dry in about three days, if its not it'll take longer, I always have the best results from a slow cure, and I leave the plant whole until it's dried at least a couple days, I prefer the sun leaves to be dry when I cut them, it's all preference though, many trim wet, I prefer the taste when I don't do it that way
Looks like a sativa-dominant strain. Means a longer flower time than indicas. From the dark pistils I'd guess you been flowering 5-6 weeks, depending on your light set-up. I have a 1000W bulb for flowering and base my guess on that standard. I'd say you are about 2 weeks from harvesting.
Good luck, BigSteve.

i think the guy who started the whole 3 day dark period method said something about this, including low temps and darkness causing stress which leads to increasing output of resin(and im pretty sure he said that increased terpene output as well), hell some people even allow spidermites to infest plants in the last few days so they start putting out resin as a defense mechanism, would probably be killer if you want to make edibles or extracts with it but i wouldn't smoke it. interesting stuff though, will have to check it out for myself once i have the resources and more controllable conditions in my room.
and id say harvest depending on the high you want, seeing as she looks sativa dom id say its gonna be an uppity high if you harvest when most do(10-20% amber heads), more amber heads have always made it more heady, relaxing high rather than a body high where i feel jittery and sometimes paranoia, personally id go for 30-50% and maybe cure for 4-6 weeks, may take another week or two to chop but its worth it if you ask me, but i like indicas and couchlock(great for pain relief too!) so if you like the uppity highs dont do this.
plus it doesnt look like you trained the plant so the lower buds are gonna be less matured, running them a few weeks longer would be preferred for yield and potency reasons.

please study very closely
Cations and anions are both ions. The difference between a cation and an anion is the net electrical charge of the
ion .
Ions are atoms or molecules which have gained or lost one or more valence electronsgiving the ion a net positive or negative charge.
Cations are ions with a net positive charge.
Silver: Ag + , hydronium: H 3 O + , and ammonium: NH 4 +
Anions are ions with a net negative charge.
Examples: hydroxide anion: OH - , oxide anion: O 2- , and sulfate anion: SO 4 2-

What's you damn point? I took 8th grade physical science too?please study very closely

Soil Temp vs. Air temp is the main thing moving nutes up and down. Its part of the day/night cycle. Apply heat differentials to a viscous fluid inside the veins. Its the same principles as ocean currents or weather patterns.
Osmosis is moving the nutes in an out.
If I remember right, just before lights on is when the concentration of nutes is at its minimum inside the plant. Its hardly noticeable though. You do it at the end of the cycle because you want the effects of a full 12hrs.
I fail to see how this info was at all relevant. You just defined two terms without explaining how they apply in this situation. I don't even think there was a point, other than trying to sound intelligent.

Nutrients don't move into the plant until they are broken down into a ION, of which I posted the explanation of an ION, so when people make stupid statements about nutrients changing the taste, i want them to know that it is not nutrients that causes that, After photosynthesis takes place and changes the ions into glucose that then go to the rest of the plant, it is the glucose that moves up and down and through out.
the fruit does not store nutrients, so How can it taste like nutrients?

I mean seriously, tell me any fruit in the world that tastes like nutrients/salts when over fed? I say it all the time, burn some sugar, then burn some salt, then quit making stupid statements.

Man, I hate to keep making you look stupid, but your statements are so far off, i feel I must teach you photosynthesis, I mean, I even posted pictures to make it easy for you.
