Mostly clear trichs? Or cloudy?
Looks nice.
Looks nice.
Thanks! I think I'm going to chop this Friday or Saturday then. Gives me the weekend to trim and hang everything up to dry.

I'd say shes ready by Jesus she looks delishes I've seen a lot of bud porn in my day and that's about the sexiest bitch I've seen yet
Hahah now you got me psyched up to chop
and I'm thinking not bad for crappy genetics and no fancy nutes, straight 20-20-20 one part agriculture grade nutrients from birth. Maybe about $5 worth for the entire lifecycle!!!

Yep looks great! You did a nice job waiting longer then many . I'd say you are definitely in the harvest window, pistils have turned, and the buds look to have a good swell on the calyxs.
. I'd say you are definitely in the harvest window, pistils have turned, and the buds look to have a good swell on the calyxs.Harvested and disaster struck, like a punch to the gut: mold. I had to toss 40% of the harvest and those were the biggest and densest colas, another 10% goes into quarantine for closer inspection, for example colas I was able to cut in half since the rot seemed to have been confined to the top halves of the biggest buds. The other half of the crop was okay, I was worried about this as my humidity was hovering around 59% lights off. I will have to get this under control next run, time to invest in a dehumidifier. On the Brightside whatever this bag seed haze strain was it was pretty killer, huge dense colas, nice fragrance and color. I may try re-veg the plant if I can.
Mold:
On the Brightside I did get about 10 colas about this size plus all the smaller stuff that wasn't impacted. A sad day, but another lesson learned.

What do you run for fans and how do you position them? I'm thinking my fan setup is part of the issue.

My room is 7'x8' but I only have plants in a 3 1/2' swath along one 8' wall. On the opposite wall I have a high speed 20" fan attached fairly high on opposite wall. It's not oscillating so it really only covers half the garden. I have it on a dimmer and keep at just below half full on.
At the other end...also high on the wall...is a 16" 3 speed oscillating fan that I keep on the middle speed.
Sometimes, like after watering or a spill or something...I'll crank them up to dry things out. My plants are constantly in motion. Not like a hurricane...more like a medium windy summer day. plants have never shown windburn...fans run 24 hours.

Nice, next round I'm going to increase fan size and get a 30 pint dehumidifier. No more messing around!

I'm in a very humid cool coastal environment. Perfect for mold. I managed to get 2 runs here and am at midpoint of my third grow...using the fans only. I have a dehumidifier that I need for drying/curing...but so far haven't needed it in flowering yet. I'm not saying you won't need it. It would be an excellent idea to buy one. But don't let it get too dry...not good either.
The attached VPD chart gives you a rough idea of the desired humidity for a given temp. The orange area is the sweet spot.

I'm in Vancouver, basement grow. I was actually going by VPD and thought I was OK, lights off about 20C and 60% RH lights on about 40-45% and 24-25C. According to VPD my lights on is out of bounds, and my lights off was okay. But I feel that it was my lights off humidity that allowed mold to flourish. I'm confused, wouldn't it be better to maintain 45% RH through mid and late flower? Doesnt a high RH translate to more available moisture for mold growth?
