neebie needs help PICS

ok so i need help
the plant is my first female and she is about 6 weeks into flower
i'm not sure what strain she is (good bagseed)
and i'm fighting spiter mites with plane water 3 or 4 times a day (i seem to be winning)
i'm guessing 2 or 3 more weeks, is that right?? or what
and when i chop her down do i hang the hole plant or do i just hang the buds?
and i read somewhere about 72 hours of dark before harvest

thanks for all the help

hey bro nice buds.
i'd give her 3 more weeks and i'd hang the whole thing cuhz it aint too tall.
I put my plants into 48 hrs of darkness before they start budding, but im not sure if it would help to do before harvest?
goodluck brotha.

thanks bro the bag the seeds came from teasted so good
do you know of any way to add flavor?

im not sure but i heard somewhere that if you plant a blueberry plant in the same pot as you marijuana plant it will have a slight taste of it but thats just what i heard

that cant be right
maybe mint

Looks good man nice lookin color and full buds, dont worry about the darkness before harvest, and also its up to you, the hole plant can be easy to hang or you can make it about 6 big branches, whatever is most efficient for your space. this is a nice first grow, what kind of lights and where was the grow (closet basement etc..) Im doing my first grow in my closet now heres a link check it out let me know what oyu think

nice plant. should be fully ripe in like 4 weeks

4 weeks?? i realy dont want to wait!!!
i have a joint or 3 left but that wount last 4 weeks

4 weeks is what i say. I know it seems like a lot to wait but if you pick it early your gonna regret it. The bud will shrink up alot and taste like shit and not get you as high. That last week if you wait you will see the buds get way more dense and they will ripen just perfect. Its well worth the extra week.

If your looking for taste there's this stuff called sweets. I can't find it online but it works... check your hydro store. Also get something called cha-ching and use that or you could use molasses. That will tighten your buds up pretty good. Flush the last 5 days with plain water and chop your plant whole. and let it dry all in one piece. I chop mine about level with the dirt.

There has been studies about leaving your plants in darkness for 48 to 72 hours prior to harvent but i can't say yea or no. I do know that it has been said by many to make the buds a little more stony. If you want to go that route make it 4 weeks and 48 to 72 hours extra in the dark. they won't mature if left in the dark.

Best of luck man that is gonna bee some nice smoke. Don't forget to let us know how it turns out... Peace

light degrades thc, the plant replenishes it at night. if you wait a day or 2 it will have maximum thc levels since it had all that time to make more and no light to break it down. use the dark period. u do know that after u harvest you'll still need to wait at least 2-3 weeks for it to cure right? your probally going to want to go buy a bag bro. plain water is not enough to get a spidermite infestation gone unless you caught them super early. your sure your winning the war?

LOL, yea I was thinking about 4-5 weeks too. Just wait...it will be worth it.

i'd wait it out be patient! you wont regret it!

i do know about curing but i can quick dry a joint or 2 right i know it wount teast great but i will get hi right?
the guy at the hydo shop said if i use neem oil now the buds will teast like it and i dont want that and my wife said no ladybugs in the house and i like to keep her happy
so 48 to 72 hour of dark is something i should do to make the best smoke i can



R I U

R I U is by far the best forum site i'v ever seen
and i thank everyone for the help i couldnt have done it with out you


HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL
be safe do smart

you might get a decent buzz, if your careful about quick dry and dont boil out any of the thc that is in there by exposing it to too high of a temp.

i would wait til the hairs have died back and the trichs are at least milky. but that's a matter of taste. if you want a heady, up high, the milky white is better (and you wouldn't have to wait as long)...if you want a stuck to the couch for hours kinda stone, wait a little longer for the trichs to turn amber. patience...it will be worth the wait, whichever route you take.

you should hang them by their individual cola branches, cutting them off the main stem for 7 days. then you gotta cure them in an airtight jar for another couple days. this is your creation, all good things come to those who wait!!! don't do it too early, or it may be a disappointment!!

so i guess i cant get around getting a scope?
i was trying to not spend anything on she
but it should be worth it right

yeah, if you want to guarantee it's good stuff. I got mine from amazon for $15. Just put $20 on a prepaid credit card and go to amazon...everything's cheaper there. Then while you're waiting for your scope to arrive, you'll be giving your buds more time to ripen. at least 30x magnification. They say radioshack has them too.

it seems as though watering 3 times a day could be just as detrimental as the spider mites.

i'm NOT watering 3 to 4 times i'm spraying the leaves with water to rinse the bugs off
