Purp after close examination the trics are getting cloudy but not amber that I could see anyway. I would say i have at least 3 more weeks ahead of me. the trics are building in numbers each day and the buds are getting fatter. here are a few pixs I took today. As you can see the trics are building up but plenty of white pistols.

Thanks i appreciate that brother! Yeah I figure another 2-3 weeks to reach 75-90% maturity. im at the end of week 6 now so the calyx should begin to swell this week and fill with resin. weeks 8-9 sounds about right for a harvest for an indica strain. should I seperate the more mature plant from the less mature one and start a flush soon? do I need to flush with a proper cureing period?

3) Intentional Stress- When your approaching the end of your flowering cycle,you start to stress the plant out. When plants THINK they Are dying ,the only thing they know how to do is grow or try to reproduce. if you start to stress them it is believed by many that the plant will try to get stickier in order to do be able to catch more pollen from a flowering male.
When you do this,there are some methods I use,and some things to keep in mind
**Never do this for more then 14 days before your harvest. The key here is to stress them out just enough, to not give them time to turn hermaphrodite on you. You have to estimate when you think you might have 14 days left,start and harvest no more then 14 days after. - kick the plant pots everyday,shake the plant a little everyday, give it a few minutes of HIGH FAN Air..like a wind storm.
- take little thumb tacks, drive them into every branch on the plant right below the last node. Do not break anything,,or drive big things. Just a tack into every branch.you're not damaging,,your just pissing her off a little.
TWISTING- hold one part of the large stem between a thumb and finger, and one inch higher, hold one part of the large stem between a thumb and finger, and TWIST it, to damage it.

Take your fignernail and scrap a piece of skin (bark) off, the size of a penny on the larger stems.

- I know a lot of people like to do 24 hours of darkness,at harvest,,try 2 days of darkness before u chop,or even mess with the light schedule a little,,i know this seems crazy but it works.

whats the deal here? Does it work? When they think they are dieing do they yield more THC?

more pixs! As you can see the trichs are filling in. I was able to spot some amber ones from the photos but tuff to tell if there cloudy or clear. one or 2 of the pix are the "slow" plant you can tell from the really green veg on it compared to the darker green on the more mature plant.

This was something used to do a few times on an outdoor grow. I never noticed any difference except to expose it to bugs and disease.

I've broken branches or had heavy branches break and either taped them up or leaned them againstsomething. At harvest time I didnt notice a difference.

Some folks do this but I never did. The more you mess with things, the most you risk having your grow go bad.

Ignore the creative geniuses and stick with the basics and you'll harvest a great crop.
