    Trichomes & Harvesting

    Alright, well just to be clear, it's quite an undertaking, and especially if you're new to growing. But perhaps it's a good way of learning for you, I wouldn't expect too much though if I were you. I can see more amber than before yes and some clear, but it seems like the cloudy are in a...

    Lights out before Harvesting?

    It's a myth. There is no scientific evidence which supports the theory and in experiments no difference is shown.

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    Sometimes you have to take action, especially outside, since there are so many things that can cause infestation. But it can be very hard to combat it outdoors, perhaps some form of oily bug/infestation spray could be useful but it's hard to say if that would've saved the calyxes. Why do you...

    Northern Soul by seedsman

    The white pistils are appearing on the foxtailing buds. It's clear to see that the white pistils are only present on the foxtailing part of the calyx. It's not "up and down the buds", the white pistils are only present on the foxtails. The OPs plant is similar to that image, an image which...

    Northern Soul by seedsman

    There are white pistils because of foxtailing. Depending on how the trichomes look, which by the overall shots look quite mature and near peak harvest I'd say a week or so. With foxtailing you'll be getting new pistils and new trichomes continually so I wouldn't base peak harvest on the new growth.

    Aurora Indica Harvest - 155 days from seed. ~40 oz

    I just used an online converter but I guess it was wrong. I tried another one and it said 10 ounces = 283 gram.

    Ready to harvest?

    Tbh I think it's the variables. You haven't mentioned any info about the plant so it's hard to know how long it has grown and under what conditions but that plant looks like it has over a month (at least) left on flowering. It barely has flowering nodes, I see no calyxes and it looks very...

    pistil color question

    In some strains the pistils don't recede or shrivel up during the growth, you'll first see that when you start drying. I've grown strains which haven't changed pistils colour nor receded at all yet the calyxes were fully swollen and trichomes were mature. That's why you never go by one telltale...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    I still see a fair bit of clear trichomes but it might just be a specific low hanging calyx. Some calyxes do look to have about 5-10% amber so you're getting close. If the infestation is getting much worse I'd chop soon, if you feel like it can be kept under control, I'd give a week or two...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    Alright, well that's sad to hear but that's how it goes with growing. I've had my fair share of infestations as has other people. I'll take a look at the trichome shots.

    Aurora Indica Harvest - 155 days from seed. ~40 oz

    Nah, he got the conversion wrong. No way he harvested over 5 kilos. It's not 75g per jar either cause that would mean about half a kilo. And his first estimate of 10 ounces is around 1/5 kilo (10 ounces = 198g). All in all, the numbers make no sense.

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    Do you think the infestation is spreading? What I mean is do you think it could get much worse if you let the plant go longer? I think your plant needs a few more weeks for it to be nearer peak harvest. But if the infestation & mold might get worse I'm not sure if I would gamble it.

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    Can you take some pictures of entire calyx sections and the entire plant. Of what I can see the calyxes don't look very swollen but the pistils seem to be receding. I still see quite a few clear trichomes though.

    Zeus's Take on Harvesting

    Actually someone is having a go but his posts are being deleted because of the inappropriate nature of the posts. Anyway, I know you aren't having a go it's all good.

    Zeus's Take on Harvesting

    Also, you have to remember that this thread is from 2009, which is several years before I joined or even became a mod here. Same goes for roc. We are both very active mods but this is the first time I've seen this thread.

    We don't decide what gets sticky and what doesn't. The admins have a final say but I will go through this thread and clean it up.

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    @ mr. green thumb 01 I didn't delete any pages, in fact I didn't delete your latest duplicated threads. Your threads were deleted by the admin and I suggest you calm down because you're just making this worse for yourself.

    9th week flower...READY???

    CBN does not produce a couch-lock high. CBN lowers potency (by 90%-260%) and delivers a sickly sort of ill feeling (influenza like symptoms).

    9th week flower...READY???

    Read this: https://www.rollitup.org/harvesting-curing/516184-trichomes-harvesting.html I explain everything. Quick sum up (you should still read the first post in that thread though): Telltale signs of a plant being harvest ready: A majority of trichomes are cloudy and a few amber trichomes...

    Chlorophyll levels in Sativas and its effects when curing

    Interesting subject but I'm afraid I haven't spotted that difference. I haven't grown many pure Sativas but those I have grown have been grown next to hybrids and/or Indicas. And I haven't really seen any difference in drying or curing. But now that you brought this up I might actually do a...
