    Trichomes & Harvesting

    Well that certainly is a bit high pH, if possible I would switch soil or perhaps try to flush it properly several times before use and test it to see how the "base" pH is fluctuating. Your plants look fairly healthy though, I see some tip damage but the colours of the leaves have a good dark...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    I would need more general information to answer that question and some pictures if possible. Normally I wouldn't recommend selective harvesting to new growers but every case is different and without me seeing what is going on for myself it's hard to call (sometimes new growers get confused and...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    I'm sorry but I don't quite understand what question you want answered, no offense but you seem a bit confused about the situation. Could you perhaps post some pictures and give a bit more detail? To answer a general question if that was what you were looking for: Many new growers harvest too...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    The science speaks for itself, you can look up any thread/post I've written on the subject if you need more information. This thread is not the place to discuss a settled issue.

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    I usually dry my plants around 16-21 degrees C. You want to make sure you have proper ventilation, proper light control (you want a very dark room) and a somewhat stable temperature.

    are these premature?

    Why did this even turn into a pissing match? Can we keep it on topic please and cut the insults. Btw, I like the tinge, I've been looking to grow a decent purple strain myself recently, might have to try out the LSD/Star Trek.

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    You're welcome :weed: I was on a long "weekend" holiday, therefore the delayed response. That is always the hardest part of growing imo, you have to be very patient, unless you've grown Cannabis for a while and you know exactly what you're doing it's quite hard to not get excited and want to...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    The plant looks great, it looks healthy! Which is more than I can say for most people who post their plant pictures (especially those who pre-harvest flush). I would still give it another two weeks if it was my plant though. The pistils have not fully receded and I see new growth still...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    Hello Lady Hx, I would always, as a rule of thumb, go by the date when flowering showed on the plants, not by the date when you switched the light schedule. Which would make your plants 40 days old (in flowering terms). From what I can see you have a mixture of clear & cloudy trichomes. The...

    Flush after cutting?!?!?

    This sounds like a horrible way to treat your harvest. You cannot trust the plant cuttings to survive in non-oxygenated stagnant water. What you can trust to happen is that mold will set in, and fairly quickly as well.

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    First of all, you have to distinguish between flushing and pre-harvest flushing. But I will not go into the debate again here since I've already settled the matter in several other threads. You can find the info if you search the forum for my nick & pre-harvest flushing. Using regular nutrients...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    Have you checked the trichomes? It looks like it could go longer and swell up a bit more but I'd go by trichomes if it's your first grow. Not sure what you mean by 'nutes still in the medium', it won't affect your grow unless you are overfeeding or causing a deficiency. Flushing is for toilets...

    Dry Ice hash

    It's a personal preference. One method is low cost, the other is high cost. There is no 'one best method', it's all about what you're after. I haven't read the entire thread so I don't know which methods have been discussed throughout, but dry ice kief is easy and gives a good result. If you...

    You have been posting in an old thread. In fact the last comment, before you started posting in it, was made nearly 2½ years ago.

    Terpenes vs Cannabinoids - Water Cure vs Air Curing

    To start off with, the questions you're posing are not really questions we're able to fully answer at this point in time. Not nearly enough research has gone into terpenes in relation to water curing. It's correct that because THC and other cannabinoids & terpenoids are not entirely water...

    Female plants make female seeds...

    The short answer is yes, if you get a feminized plant to hermie and pollinate another feminized plant you will end up with feminized seeds. The longer answer (which I will not go into detail with) is that you might end up with seeds prone to hermie since you are inbreeding females.

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    That is correct, the pistils (what some people call hairs) will shrivel up and turn amber-ish. However some plants fully mature without the pistils necessarily changing much, you should always go by the pointers I give in the first post of this thread. Trichomes appear on the leaves and calyxes...
