Tahoe... I finally read through your journal (more like skimmed) and I am very impressed. Nice work!

But, I have been looking at the pic updates from the last two weeks or so and I think you should let her go another week. She has definitely bulked up in the last 10 days and I don't think she's done just yet.

Besides, this could be a practice in patience for that DQ... those thin fingers look like a 12+ week flower on that one!

I think I'm gonna change opinion now Tahoe - do you think your pistils have receded into the bud at all? I can still see white pistils. What do the buds lower down look like? What about the buds right at the bottom? Noticed that fan leaves are still green and in tact?

I'm a newbie as you know but from pictures I've seen I don't think she is prime yet. I think you'd still get a very good smoke on it and it's definitely harvestable, but as for prime, optimum harvest, I think she can still mature a little bit and as matey said, she could still fatten out some.

Your call tho buddy, you've been patient and in my humble newbie opinion she still has legs but is perfectly harvestable in her current state.

Keep us updated brah. :)

I totally get where ur coming from. I am finding this decision process interesting this time around. With some other changes in my life, I have become more aware of how and why I make certain decisions. In this case, my initial prime interest was to truly let her go for as long as I could. Then that impinged on my potential travel plans. Change travel plans. Over vege my young girls as a result as well. The cascade of complications that arise from this lady taking so long is sort of interesting. Now I am starting to feel that she is having a less than beneficial effect on my ability to extract some optimum results out of the younger girls, cuz she's still in the WAY! hahahaha! So the decision to cut her? on the basis on needing the space - yes. on the basis of maximizing her potential - not really. On the basis of the quality/quantity of smoke - uncertain probably negligible. I dunno, I'll look at her again this morning. The bud pic from yesterday is beginning to show me the turning in of the calyxes. So I'll see what progress there was in that regard overnight. And yes there still are white hairs, but much fewer. And I can also take another look at the trichs .... probably more amber .. how much more? I'll be back......:weed:

Have you read up on the strain you’re growing? As in what type of high it gives? Also I think it’s what you want out of the smoke buddy. If she is in the way and if it’s not chopped down today, but will be in 2-3 days time I think that the difference will be quite small, probably not even noticeable on smoke. For me I’d rather have a spiritual/up beat kind of high. Not couch lock. So I’d be more inclined to harvest sooner rather than later but that’s a personal preference to what I want from it.

For example, my Amnesia Lemon gives more of that sort of spiritual, feeling alive sort of high which is what I wanted and what I experienced back in Amsterdam. Therefore I’d let her run as long as possible because that’s the nature of her strain so running her right up to as late as poss would be more beneficial to what I want. However, if it was a much more potent, couch locking type of strain then I’d harvest way sooner than I would for say the Amnesia.

To be honest this has given me an idea to check out my White Moscow (a White Russian x Lowryder) and find out what sort of high White Russian gives and base my harvest around that.


I look forward to your harvesting pics and hope they're before mine so I can get some tips haha. :)

many thanks man ... all really good thoughts. And I think that is really what it comes down to. a measurable or perceptible difference. I guess that's also part of the experimentation. I certainly like the more "activity" related lifts .... just suits me more. But I don't have a whole lot of experience with the pure indica, which was my driver to grow BlackDomina - still working on that. The MM will be more indica so we'll see. The top44 is relatively obscure from the genetics side, but is a good combo of speedy and zombie like at high doses .... but always smiling.

I forgot to mention this earlier but I though Top 44 was supposed to finish flowering in 44 days. Maybe I am mistaken, because you are well over three weeks past that number!

alright .... afternoon shift has reported back. They looked at the weeping ladybitch and we have a new consensus ...... there are more amber showing. This maybe be the shift we were looking for folks .... operations may have to shift into harvest mode at a moment's notice, on my call. It Will Be A Full Red Alert. Entrance to the Room will now be restricted to Harvest Personnel Only. The room must be prepared, sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. For reference, a small popcorn bud from the bottom of the plant .....

many thanks for your cvisit and your thoughts. I hope she continues on this fabulous path. Walk on!!~~ :weed:
Those DQ leaves look so sativa, Nice work Tahoe
Yea .... the last time I grew they went very long as well. I'm sure it has something to do with less than optimal conditions .... but regardless, I guess she'll finish when she finishes .... hahahaha! Walk on!~~~ :weed:

i think it's one of those plants that will just keep going and going. it looks like it's basically just growing horns now. not that horns are bad but is it really worth it? the bulk of the buds look done. the horns look like they will just keep going. my wife says pull it. she's my guiding light. i listen to her. she usually saves me from pulling early. :cool:

That sample was taken from the bottom of the plant tho right??? That might be throwing off your real harvest date if you are judging by the less developed parts... maybe you should take the mature buds off and let the light get down to those under developed buds... Just a thought, how is that main cola looking?
