Finally starting to see an amber trich here and there on the blue dream. Gelato has a few more but not many. I'm thinking these have only another week or two tops. Sure looks like it. At this point I should see a bit of swelling and the buds will get more dense and just ripen. That's y the gelato is falling over. Usually happens to me on the last 2 weeks. Makes me want to scrog again but that's hard to do when I have late flower and early flowers in the same tent. Strings it is

On another note I've been thinking ahead. Now the Zkittles and blue dream could be 6 weeks out from harvest . Now I've got these 7 clones and jock horror reg going. Now I'm sure 3 or 4 weeks down the line I could kinda S.O.G them but wont have room with the Zkittlez and what not having 2 to 3 weeks left . Could be more, who knows? I digress, I'm positive I could throw 2 or even squeeze in a 3rd clone while the Zkittlez and BD finish up their final weeks. That leaves 5 more plants that will have been vegging 3 to 4 weeks by then and if I wait for the Zkittlez they'd be vegged for another 4 weeks or so. Now i highly doubt I can get away with vegging 5 plants in that little ass tent for 8 weeks. I just dont see it even with all the training/bending/supercropping in the world. I'd hate to kill anything I've decided to let live in the first place. Just feels wasteful and wrong to throw away good plants. At any rate I hope that wasnt TOO confusing but I'm just trying to figure out how the hell I'm going to sort that out later. Any ideas? I thought if making 2 mothers. That makes more available space and they will serve a purpose. I'd have to get another light but nothin big.

Went to check out a new apartment today. More rooms, more space overall. Hoping I can make my upgrades soon. Mainly a bigger/better light and a bigger tent. Then I plan on running my same perpetual schedule just double the size and I'll also have a tent for autos/seedings/clones. Been searching around for mephisto genetics but they're at some sort of stand still. Hopefully in the coming months they'll be back up n runnin

just checked the trichs on the gelato and blue dream. Still only an amber here and there on the BD but we're at about 15 to 20% on the gelato. Since it's really dense and I don't want to risk any Rot or PM so I'm thinking about calling it. I'm tempted to push this last week for flush. If so I'll just have to keep a close eye on her. I'll probably let her dry out. Suck up the rest of the water in the coco and she's outta here

Definitely. It seems pretty accurate for me . my strains go right up to the 8 or 9 weeks they are advertised to and they are at the perfect ripeness of that time. I find growers who count straight from 12/12 end up finding out they need an extra week or 2. When the plant transitions, it doesn't hormonally jump to flower because we flip a switch ya know. The hormones gradually change over time and progress into full flower in a week or 2. I usually wait until I have atleast small button sized clusters or "bud sites" b4 I start the count. I'm rambling now but I think its accurate and SO MANY growers with years of experience count straight from flip. Lol it frustrates me because plants just dont work that way.

The hormones gradually change over time and progress into full flower in a week or 2 when it comes time to check trichs.

Yeah my first plant flipped super quick. 2 days. In my tent I just flipped. The 4 photos are showing sex just not white hairs. The only one thats showed is my NL auto and its 3.5wks old but I think a lot of people mistake 12/12 for day 1 when in fact day 1 is when there are a few hairs all up and down
