also on main stork or cola the buds swelling great but noticed where joined to stork ie where light ent penetrating as under bud or on side shadded by bud its light green and looks very pale compared bit light hitting maybe a little whispy also. is this norm? or sign needs longer still? rest buds dense even the lower ones on lil storks which dont get as much light r ok and dark green all over. defo ent mould the pale patchs. sorry for being crap questions just starting annoy me as was hoping b done this weeek and thin needs longer now

Pro's eh? tell that to the grow talk to pure bullshit ratio haha. Wrong thread :lol: we're a bunch of pisstards and cokeheads, sorry, northerners, ha.

Run em till they look done man :) that's as simple as i can put it, you can check trichs and you can look at the colours of the pistils, but i jut cut them when they look like they are done. Not much help from me i'm afraid. See item 1.

Ive got a few of them really pale buds on my OG cause its so leafy and theyre just in the shade. like ttt said, just let em go until they're at the desired stage, you can go by the trichs, or watch the swell, the hairs arent really a good indication of ripeness cause some change halfway through flowering, or like week 4 etc.

forget about dates mate, like the other guys have said let it run until you think its done, if you dont have any way of viewing the trichs id suggest a cheap jewlers lupe off ebay and use the trichs as a chopping point until your used to growing and you can tell when its ripe enough for you . :)

how do i do this using a laptop witha mouse pad ? no buttons i just use a pad? i can press control on keyboard but is there anything other than scroll ?
Normally on laptops middle click is achieved by pressing both buttons together. Personally though, i'd say get to the opticians :p

hi all anyone here use a matal halide light ? if so what exactly is the point of one? just better to veg or is it good for flower aswell? im sure i read somewhere that switching from a hps to a metal halide for last 2 weeks increases trichs or something ??

Metal halides are great for veg and give you compact bushy plants with short internodes where as if you veg with a hps they can be a little stretchy. Switching to MH the last few weeks of flower is supposed to increase resin production, cant say ive noticed a difference when i done it but i really didnt run it for long enough to say if it works or not.
