Ahh! Now I get it. I was reading all this backward.
I guess this person didn't understand that this was a harvesting thread. :roll:
Hello I know this has nothing to do with your thread. Wich was very informative might I add. But I figure who better to ask for help than the people who seem to know the most. My question is I have 4 plants growing and I dont know where to go from here. I have grown them this far with 12 100wt cfl's, and one 400 mh. I think I might be ready to flower them. What do you all think. Should I flower now? Should I try to do a scrog grow? This is my first real grow. CAn I do my whole gow with cfl's or should I buy a hps? Sorry again for posting this here but I searched for hours and can not for the life of me figure out how to make a thread of my own.

Yeah, you are getting close, but still have a ways to go. Hang in there!

Wait until the calyxes swell, and they will look like there's a seed inside. The foliage will fade to colors less green. The trichomes will sparkle like sugar crystals.

HTH :mrgreen:

Fioly, I'm curious, your top pic looks close to me. The bottom pic looks like it's starting new growth and doesn't really resemble your top pic. Are they different strains that started flowering at different times or are supposed to finish at different times? I wish I had harvested one that looked as nice as your top pic but wasn't able to wait for a few reasons.

also, yes i had multiple different plants harvesting at different times. it just shows you that all the various commercial pot i used to get was all different types. some of my plants are SUPER dense and with alot more red hairs, while some other buds are leafier and not as dense.

How long did you let them hang for? great pics, great looking buds! +K
this plant was cut down today. i let them hang for 5 to 7 days and then start the jaring process. at first when it was in the jars it smelt exactly like grass. as time went on it smelt better and better. and now.. BAM! i open a jar and reeks the room for hours :)
