How to get that "Kick"?

Do it. They still don't look completely ripe, but your environmental conditions aren't ideal. They could easily go another 2 weeks in there. I wouldn't wait any longer, it's time to get high!

The weather here is beginning to break. Cooler temps equal less AC.

I can let them go longer. What will be the benefit of two more weeks?

I know those others need more light. But I can only run my 1000 watter right now 12/12. More lights would meltdown the electric bill.

I'm out of dirt. May get some on Monday.

Plucked this one, which caught the guillotine early on do to a lighting mishap.

A little over 12 weeks flowering. It's fluffy - like elongated budlets. How do y'all get tight nuggie-nug-nuggets? The type that gleam like fresh snow on the Black Forest pines, midwinter. At daybreak. Is it the brand I have?

Forget this Russian. I've got a couple more in the oven then it's the end of the Russian.

That brown look'in thing is the inside roll from a paper hand-towel roll.

Pluck?? They no longer have an over burdensome odor.

Even though the weather changed here, the apartment above me is running the AC all the time. LOL. I've got a 1,000 watter under their bed burning all night long. Bwahahaaha!! LOL

13 weeks, two days:

You dry for a month?
Thanks for the comments.

I'm not sure what people mean exactly when mentioning "Genetics". I order good seeds. These White Russians are Serious Seeds "genetics". You can see from the pics - five weeks and looking good. I've got certain parts down pretty good.

I've got everything going except the kick. The best stuff I've grown was the very first grow long ago; Dutch Passion's, White Widow, harvested exactly after the weeks recommended by Dutch Passion, to the day. That stuff was downright evil. But that was harvested do to panic instead of skill. LOL Ever since - I've tried looking at the mushroom heads for amber/clouds and hairs to no avail.

The last batch of White Russian; I harvested one tree at nine weeks and one tree at ten weeks and one tree at eleven weeks. I only had the three trees. I've been letting it dry-out or "Cure" for over a month. The buds did poof out a lot from week nine to eleven so I think week nine and ten could have been harvested too soon. I'm going try the testing this weekend. But previous grows of White Russian I've let flower for 14 weeks and beyond. The stuff harvested 14 weeks and beyond had the cat piss smell. The "sweet" smells of the 'Russian were long over. This most current harvest smeeled of cat piss/sweet mix with a lean to the cat piss.

I've tried other strategies with other varieties and combinations of ferts. As you can see from the pics above Fox Farm's, Ocean Forrest does a good job without ferts.

I have a feeling it's the point of harvest that's the problem. Do you have any other clues cause I hate wasting time trying to master this game.

Drying -

Humidity varies by season here. I'm nearest 42 parallel north.

Six to eight weeks.

Do you have a sure fire method or constructive remarks? Make it happen.
