Ok so this is my first grow was hell of a challange :-) my last step i ned help with.

Ive got 2 strains bigbud and other that i dont know what it is but from what i see being grown here i would have to say M39. they are in budding since 5th jan so 6 weeks

i know the bigbud is not ready yet its 8 to 9 weeks but the other i dont know seems ready.

moe then 50% pistils are brown smells very nice strong. i dont have a microscope but i look at the crystals and they seem white.

so here's a couple of pics not realy good since i cant get zoom pics. when ready what do i do ive heard ive got to drown the plant and give it 24 houres dark then harvest.

Id give it about another 4-5 days, maybe a week. yea, rinsing and allowing 24hrs of darkness before harvest is a good method from what I heard. looks good too.

Put the calender away, and pull out the microscope. Clear tric's are immature, cloudy/milky will give you a ceribrial high, and honey/amber will give you a couch-lock high.

lol how many x do i need to see this :-0 i am between 96x and 144x and i aint seing much i see round dots almost clear but fuzzy so i guess there changing to white so like newgrower0789 said 4 days should be good? but i have to say if i decide a couch-lock high seems very nice.

is m39 a good strain?

i agree with this one, except for the dark period(most people who recommend this have "heard" it works but dont know). this could be a waste of time, but what do i know? i have heard that lighting your plant with a match before you pull makes it some fire. try that. i "heard it works" :bigjoint:

HAHA thats funny brah! IDk about the long dark periods adding to potency, but a 12+hour dark period before harvest helps any nutes left from the flush get stored in the root system. Thats the only reason I give my plants a 12 hour dark period...maybe a little more if I can't wake up lol.

yeah i usually pull right when the lights come on, but i keep the timer going on the same cycle since mine is perpetual. sometimes i am a bit late cuz i cant wake up either.

bought a 60-100x was freaking hard to find since Radioshack is now (la source) circuit city and they dont have i was able to find in a hydroponic place 32$

But i dont understand i am a bit confused if Clear tric's are immature, cloudy/milky will give you a ceribrial high, and honey/amber will give you a couch-lock high.

i bought some weed yesterday and i took a look with microscope to see difference from my plant bud and the bud i bought. the bud i bought is mostly clear tric's and gave me a hell of a buzz like a couch-lock high hummmmm i love those.
i had a sample of bud to show the guy that sells and he told me couple more days its almost ready like newgrower0789 said lol sorry guys but since its my first harvest i can imagine you guys know i want to smoke my weed!!!! :-0

i dont want to go to fast more trying to figure out the tric's so from what i understand hell might be wrong.

#1 the first stage is kinda like a drop of water lets say.
#2 then it grows into a mushroom form
#3 then it goes into milky white
#4 then it goes amber
#5 then it dies?

gona cut it sunday and hope for the best.

Yeah, when my lights go off the night before harvest I unplug them so if I don't wanna get up, the lights wont come on, and the nutes will continue to drain, and I get some great sleep, cause manicuring a lot of buds can take a bit of time.

For #5 think of it as a water tower that just imploded, so it looks like it deflated.flatened out.

Tric harvest is only a way to vary the high. An indica will have a mostly couch-lock high, and sativa will be cerebrial, but the tric's can vary the strength of the high for a light couch-lock, or a heavy one, and milky tric's on a sativa will have you zoomin' where as ambers on a sativa will keep you hovering. So strain type plays the major role in the type of high, but harvesting at the different stages of trichome maturity will vary that type of high. I hope that makes sense...sorta.lol

Happy Harvesting!

I found the 60X scope is to powerful but the 30X works perfect and im visually impaired to begine with.
