Having the same problem every time!! PLEASE HELP!!!

[Beansly]

Could be y0u have a high tolerance. What kind of bud are you used to smoking? If you are surrounded by dank, and then grow a bunch of no-name strains (no-offense) you probably wont get high enough. Try growing some Chemdog, ECSD, Granddaddy Purps, Blue Dream, Super Silver Haze, Tahoe OG, Super Lemon Haze or Plushberry. Something like those. Maybe look for a good OG. They aren't all hyped up for no reason. It is some pretty good stuff. Awful if you're on a diet though.

Its deff not tolerance I didnt smoke my own stuff since March and I wrote my origional post after the very first sample. I smoke other grass all the time and Im totally baked everytime(pots the only thing that helps me thats why when its incorrect I totally feel it). Only my stuff gives me this.. I think trickjames is on to my problem. I thought I was chopping too late but I get halfway high but no appitite or sleep. I never looked at trichs before I tried and could see(too weak of an magnifying glass, go figure) Im gonna get the legit one and check constanty. Another thing I always wondered should you let the soil totally dry out before chopping of flush and keep soaked till the very end?? I normally stop flushing 2 weeks before cut.

Sorry, I assumed you were chopping at the right time. Yeah, it's hard to tell by the naked eye unless you have some experience with the strain. A good microscope goes a long way, and breeder's estimated flowering time are from the onset of the first flowers, NOT the day you switch the lights to 12/12. So add 10 days to two weeks to the breeder's est. flowering times. Some people put their plants into 72 hours of darkness when they switch the lights to 12/12 because the say it kick-start the flowering process but idk, I don't have enough experience with one strain to know for sure.

Now honestly I chopped that hindu at the point where it says too late on that pic I have another one right now that I was gonna wait 2 more weeks but maybe thats too late. Ill chop that now. I also chopped a stalk off that one last week to do a sample test on week 6 7 . I usually wait 9 or 10 weeks. When I was younger I used to chop premature all the time now I wait mabe I actually wait too long. Whats the exact temp hum and amt of time you guys cure for??

Ive noticed that theres still alot of white hairs but yet the crystals are all huge and disgusting looking but I wait and the crystals actually seem to shrink and the hairs turn a brownish red. You think I should chop em when its at the peak of that huge crystal zone? Its worth a try. I always judged things off of the amt of red hair cause I read that in a high times in 1997 maybe I should update my techniques. .

you answered your own question. you may be cutting too late after most of your thc has already degraded. not all strains take a full 8-9 weeks especially if you are growing a lot of indicas. you can buy a scope at radio shack or you can get one online from ebay or amazon. if this does not change anything you may want to rethink your entire approach or quit, i would choose the former.

I think it is an early/late issue. I honestly dont think its picking too early that causes a problem. I know, almost certainly, that if you pick with 5-10% amber trichs your bud will be more potent than picking any later. You may get fater buds but the quality starts to degrade, slowly at first, but if you pick at 50% amber trichs, you wasted 3-4 months of your life. I have also been in a situation where I pick some early and leave others, same strains, and the early ones I like better. Also, if you are growing PURE indica then you can chop at 60 days but if your have a hybrid you almost for sure have to go closer to 70 days or more. The strains I am growing are going to need around 9-10 weeks 63-70 days or more! This is depending on the Trichs. People say to get a microscope, that is a good suggestion. The color of the trichs, however, can be seen quite easily with the naked eye if you are familiar with the strain. After around my third or fourth year I could easily tell where my trichs were just by spending time with my plants. Im not making any staggering claims on yield or quality BUT I have always gotten high from my own supply and it has almost always been better then anything I have bought. I LIVE IN CALI fyi. all my successful grows have been outdoor as well but I think you are making it way to difficult and I personally find it hard to believe that youve grown for so long and cant produce good weed. bullshit post

1. I think you're trying too hard. Get rid of all the CO2 crap and such, and treat it like a weed or at best, a tomato plant,

2. Learn what makes a plant tick. Some of most potent weed I've grown is using Walmart food and cheap soil. Buy Mel Frank's MJ Insiders Growers Guide. It will be your shortcut to success.

3. Stay away from the "designer genes" hype. They're all mutts, sold by name to pad their pockets,

4. Harvest when fresh pistils have almost come to a halt regarding production, 80/20 brown to white pistils, calyxes are fat, trichome heads are cloudy (this clear to amber thingie is subjective and not an accurate measurement). BUT if you don't have a lot of foliage left by harvest.....you aint gonna get shit anyway. Don't flush, it's a myth. Keep the foliage GREEN until harvest.

KISS principle,

..... and breeder's estimated flowering time are from the onset of the first flowers, NOT the day you switch the lights to 12/12. So add 10 days to two weeks to the breeder's est. flowering times.

A "breeders" estimate is based on what he thinks you want to hear and is totally erroneous. Genetics aside, what drives flowering times is based on temps and other cultural conditions, which the ads don't address.

WORD.

you want to really read some breeder bullshit, pay a visit to the stony girl website. She has some decent strains but she is listing flower times like 35 days, 40 days, etc and it is complete and utter bullshit.

 

[snocat]

you can get a mini microscope at radio shack it looks very simalar to the 420 scope and takes some practice to get used to useing it a jewlers loop works ok to. and are you burping your jars during the cureing process,keep them in the dark also

What do you think Im lieing??!! I feel effects but its never correct. Im deff trying too hard, it sux when you hear twenty diff answers to the same questions. I grew killer smoke outdoor last summer-too bad it only lasted 2 weeks. Im talkin indoor here\I have to take care of it not mother nature. Thats why I say the strains are good they were everything Id want when I grew em outside. Its gotta be the trichs. I just ordered a scope hopefully I start seeing things Im doing wrong. I agree Im driving myself crazy over growing a weed. NY is like nazi germany for growin. It would be nice to not have to hide in attics battling 100 degree summersright into -15 degree wind chill winters. I feel its a never ending battle. The reason I dont give up is because thats what the man would want me to do, Id much rather give my all to do it correctly. Im gonna try some new things(including not trying so hard) its gotta work.

What company would you recommend to get these from. Ill try some new genes one more time. I need eat and sleep. What would you say is the most couch locking one out of them all?

 

[Uncle Ben]

Ill try some new genes one more time.

You really don't get it, do you? There's no such thing as "new genes". It's the same ol shit that's been reshuffled since the 70's.

100F and you expect to produce anything decent?

Have any pix of your indoor plants?

 

[Crazy Tweeds1971]

no duh I ment new to me. Ill try to get some pics up.

 

[hellraizer30]

dam 100F thats on the extreme side of things, if your running that high you need to fix it asap

This is blueberryXchronic day 55.(i clipped a stalk to sample I never tryed this yet. Its the sexiest ive done yet I should have 420 scope by wed or thurs, this stuff clipped at 20% rust colored trichs has gotta be good.) this is hindu kush X black domina day 55this is california orange 55 days. These are the three kinds Im doin right now. I used my hand to give a idea of size.Sorry about the cell pics its all I got.

 

[Crazy Tweeds1971]

95-100 outside. 120 in the attic keeping the room at around 85 with ac. i got another small ac, I got it at about 78 now. i wouldnt expect anything to survive in 100 degrees. gimme a little credit here.

 

[poppagetsbaked]

Can you detail your grow space you don't mention what type of light or wattage from the pics could you be using cfl?

Sorry, thought you meant your plants were subjected to 100F. 85F is perfect. FWIW, I've heard blueberry is not a potent strain. It's an oldie dating back to the days of the 70's.

Good job on the cell pix. Other than the plants being a little light in the leaf department, they look good.

You've got a harvest window of about 2 weeks for optimum THC content.

[Crazy Tweeds1971]

veg 400mh 12\12 600hps bloom about 10 at a time. I tested a stalk of the hindu after getting my scope its about 5%amber trichs I did get me stoned kind of anxiety high though now that I can see the trichs Im gonna do a 20% amber chop hopefully all is good after that.

 

[irieie]

maybe its just me, but all those buds seem a little underdeveloped for 55 days. also in the back of one of the pics there is a long stalk. how tall are your plants when you put them into flower? how much are they stretching? are your plants short and bushy or long and stringy? how close is the light from the bottom of the plant? how many plants? what size pots? how big is the footprint of all your flowering plants?
