From your pictures I was not capable of spotting what you called new growth. Without a before picture to go by I am not sure what is what you are calling new. Is it leaf growth? Is it growth as in upward/height? Is it parts of your cola seem to be shooting out new longer/larger buds from the older existing growth?

i dont have any pictures handy, but i posted some more which may show more detail. if i have time i will post some more when she wakes up. but if you want to look at my grow journal in my signature, there may be a few with better detail i forgot to add

oh, it is a little new leaf growth, like foxtails (which it did start to do) but with leaves coming out to. the leaf growth is growing up taller. the buds were/are foxtailing if that is what your last question may have been referring to. thanks for the brainstorming, you have made me feel a little better. i knw it is a far off chance it may have sativa in it, but that would be a better reason than light leaks. and she did stay a pretty solid green up till 7-8 weeks of flower, if that matters.

Your gonna pleasantly suprised when you wiegh out 100-130 grams of dry bud. That plant is the epitomy of perfection. Id chop her now going by the high your looking for.

you really think so nickp?? plants can give misleading appearances IMO, but i guess 2 oz's dry might happen, but I dont want to get my hopes up either, you know. thanks for stopping by man. maybe i will start a thread with a "Guess my yield".

That plant couldn't be more bushy and the bud structures have a lot of leaves coming out of them, both point to indica. Is there a sativa strain that grows bushy and leafy that I'm not aware of?

My plants are mostly sativa (I think, I still don't know what strain they are, maybe Shishkaberry), and they all look like that due to me topping them a bit. It is pretty easy, at least for the strains I have grown, to get a sativa to bush out like that by topping it a few times.

When harvested some of a plant’s THC is in a non-psychoactive form. While slow-drying and then curing the non-psychoactive THC becomes psychoactive resulting in the maximum potency you can get from your crop.

It is simple enough to guess that the strain is predominantly sativa in that you are 12-weeks into flower and are clear/cloudy, and the more sativa a strain in the more the standard trichome color chart for harvesting does not really apply. A pure sativa peaks in THC levels right about when the trichomes first begin to cloud, when most are still clear. When you have mostly cloudy trichomes in something that is mostly to totally pure sativa you have waited a bit to long for maximum THC levels.

Being predominantly sativa you will not pick up much ‘couch-lock’ waiting for amber, and what you get will not likely be true ‘couch-lock’ due to high levels of CBD but instead be the result of THC that was lost when it oxidized and turned into increased levels of CBN.

Thanks for this excellent information Brick Top!

i think it might have triploided. i topped it, and 2 started, but I think a 3rd shoot came off after the 2 divulged. then i just kept tying it down.

yeah, but he only has 41 posts, so i dont know if this guy is new to everything, or just new to RIU with 20 years experience, ya know. dont get me wrong. i hope I get more than I think, but I know a QP off a CFL grown plant prob wont happen unless its vegged for six months, but you'd have to have 1000 watts of cfls to cover the bitch!

here are a few more pics as good as I could get them. hope they help. there are more brown hairs going on in there now, and they appear to be receding more. i cut another sample. i will let it dry for a few days, then maybe a day or 2 in the jar.

to be perfectly honest your plants have seemed to regain vegetative growth. You can see the veg growth above the colas, not good. Howd that happen? You got light leaks I would say. I cant see any other reason to revert like that. I would just chop them now. The time those new shoots got ripe the bulk you have now'd be dead.

so i finaly decided to take everyones input, shes revegging. no other way to explain it. i have taken the main cola in hope that she did not degrade through the long flower i put her through. i will harvest the rest tomorrow or monday, but after taking this monster (to me at least!!) i dont have enough room to dry this whole plant, so I have to come up with something, quick...

wet weight 65 grams, so maybe 17 grams dried and trimmed, but i still have 4 other colas. i dont think that is to bad.

thanks for giving advice.

That cola has to be more than 17 g dry, my Blueberry x Ak-47 cola was a little smaller ( but extremely compact) and weighed 24 g dry. well good luck and keep us informed on the yield, and smoke when it's dry.

i like to underestimate, that way I dont set myself up for failure ya know. i will definitely post my dry yield.

i dont mind to much if the smoke gives a heady energetic buzz, i actually enjoy that sometimes. but sometimes I want to be knocked on my ass too.

thanks roll it up smoke it up, and thanks for the advice to if I have not thanked you yet!!

Why even bother weighing it when it's wet? I'll bet you money that's not 50-60 grams dry ;).
