Gave the clones a haircut. 4 leads each is what they get.

























Anybody wanna venture a guess how much longer these girls got?

How the fuck do I get those cat hairs off my buds? I hate having cats, never getting any more pets. It really sucks to accidentally smoke one of those.

I read that plants are ready when 70% or so of your flowers have browned. From the looks of it your almost there unless the camera makes the color slightly different or I am looking at the wrong part of the plant.. They look beautiful none the less. I am going to guess within the next week they will be ready?

I was thinking 2-3 weeks, when most of the trichomes are milky rather than clear. Just wanted to get some others' opinions in case it didn't look like it's gonna be that long or even longer Updates in a while, if my kid ever decides to go to sleep.

I had to tie up some of the heavier branches to other ones to keep them from falling over. Guess that's the problem when your plants get too tall to support themselves. The tallest one is 44 inches, the middle one about 39and the shortest just under 36 inches. Next time I wanna do 8 plants at 24 inches tall with 4 leads each. Sound good or less leads?

Snipped a fairly mature test bud last night, definitely not ready yet, but already better than the shit I am buying now :D

That's the plant I took a lil bud from. I should have taken a pic of the bud before I smoked it.
I should also have used the flash on this shot, she has a lot more trichomes than what it looks like.


The little ones are doing ok too, some got hairs already.

Sorry for the lack of updates, I was too busy last night and I am not gonna be around later either. Hopefully I'll get back in time to post some more pics later tonight.

took the early snip eh? just some perks of growing. still looking great, getting close. how long are you planning on total bloom. are you doing flushing, if so, how long! looking great bro!

Thanks brother, yeah I just had to sample that hehe

It's day 40 so another week to two. One looks like might finish a bit sooner, the others look like they might take the full 50-55 days I was planning on. I see a lot of people online saying 70-85 days for this strain, but I just don't see that happening with my ladies.

I started using straight water this week, so it'll be 2-3 weeks of flushing by the time they come down.

I always flush. I can tell when I get bud that wasn't flushed properly; Burns like shit and the end of the bowl is a chunk of nasty black shit that tastes like ass.
I judge by the trichomes, which is more accurate than judging by hairs imo.
Thanks for stopping by though.

real great pics bro, they look close. i also heard to look at the calyxs for readiness. they'll swell from the bottom up when they're ready. good luck on the harvest, looking great!

Thanks, brother. I do use the calyxes as a secondary sign of readiness. As a matter of fact the one I was planning on taking down first, is coming down tonight. I took the plant out last night and gave it a once over with the scope and most of the trichomes are already cloudy. I will take the main buds off, raise it up and let the rest finish for anther few days. I think this one was stressed too much and it made it finish early. The plant was always messed up looking and took forever to recover from stress. I think I'll be luck to get a half ounce to 3/4 off her. The rest of the girls look like they definitely use some more time though.
