Here is my Green House "White Widow". From what I've read it's not the original white widow yadda yadda - call it what you want, i like smokin' it lol. The first time I harvested this plant I think I made two mistakes...

1) I cut it early because it looked ready but I didn't check trichs!

2) I cut each individual bud off the plant and manicured them and then hung so I think they dried too fast - the smoke is a tad harsh.

So I want to cut her when she's ready, no mistakes, this time around I'm in no rush! The reason I post this is because I just checked the trichs and there are a few clear, most cloudy and a bunch amber / going amber (i noticed the ones turning amber and leaning over look clear but really if you look closely in the dark you can see they arent clear there is amber going up the middle)

I was thinking about letting her go 1 more week and cut at around 10.5 weeks flowering. I plan to flush her with plain water 24 hours before harvest to keep the buds wet when I harvest because my dry room is low temp low humidity so stuff dries fast in there. I've also read to chop them when the lights are off since the nutrients are stored in the roots until lights click on. After I chop her I am going to trim any large leaves and then hang her as 1 plant up-side-down. Then after drying for a good 7 days Ill cut the buds up into manageable units and start the cure. How does that sound ?

Im not hating on your plant at all, its beautiful. It really is. Where do you find the WHITE WIDOW looking white widow, you know what I mean? Anytime Ive ever seen white widow on the streets, the bud is actually white covered with tricomes. Whats the deal? <.>

i'd say you are a few days late - almost perfect

and you should have been on pure water for at least a week or two already!

I hear you bro. I was a little upset when I saw this plant flower. Like you said, it is a good looking plant but it's not WHITE WIDOW where there are so many trichomes they are on the large fan leaves lol.

That sounds like a solid plan!

Mind if I ask what size light your using? Thanks.

I know I wasnt sure when I was going to harvest so I started flushing a bit late sigh

50% brown hairs start flushing! maybe a little earlier
i got greedy and wanted to bulk them up a bit more. I watered with plain water tonight and I'm going to flush her Friday (tomorrow) and then harvest Saturday an hour or two before the lights come on in hopes that the majority of the nutrients will not be stored in leaf tissue and in the roots...anyone know if this method works? Read it in HT mag.
