Looks cool. I hang buds on fishing line. It's cheap and doesn't mold. The small stuff goes onto screens. Just regular door screen with strapping for framework.

about how long between pictures??please do not post in this thread until you see the happy plumber. thanks.
i've been trimming for 12 hours non stop so please bear with me.
we will start with ripeness. most people say to check your trichromes with 30X magnification. i have other ways. when buds are done they look "done". the appearance of the bud changes. the leaves start to hook upwards and become hard and crispy. the calyxes will swell and the hairs will turn brown. you can see a golden tinge to the bud leaves. this is the amber crystals. they start to turn amber on the leaves first.
not ready..........

notice the difference? it's pretty easy to see once it occurs.
very good question. i'd say 2 - 3 weeks, depending on the strain and weather.
This is probably a really stupid nube question but here goes: Is there no use for all the leaves? I just pulled out my male plants and have a ton of leaves that we trimmed before getting rid of them. 1st time grow. Flowering for 2 weeks. Just now able to tell sex mainly by watching for pollen sacks like a hawk.
Thanks for the great post.
Thanks for the great post.
any leaves with trichomes on them can be used for something.

I have 2 questions about the very first post with the pics of the "not ready" and "ready" buds..
What strain was that particular plant?? (because mine look exactly the same, and im not 100% sure on the strain)
and 2, is how many days did budding go for THOSE plants? I know you said till they look like the "ready" pic, but my ladies are outside a little ways away from me, so i wanna go out there to harvest them in the optimal time frame.
thanks

lol thats crazy i do the same thing too. bet alot of people do it actually, just never thought anyone did it the same way. I never had access to hash in my day, i have tried it like 2 - 3 times by friends who some how got some. But I hear its not that hard to make. With all my trimmings, I feel like i should have plenty to be able to make a few grams at least. Specially with the leaf that is covered in trichs that get cut off from the buds.
