I don't mean to be "that guy", I just want the best for your girls. I too like the exhilarating/energetic high and I think you could hold off a little while. Here is why, 1, Some strains will continue to plump up quite a bit at the end and 2, I harvested last year with say 85% milky, 5-10% amber and the rest clear and it was spot on! my yard was amazing for months. I can't speak to what bud is like after a year in a jar, I have never lost any for that long.
Sounds like we are like minded, that's why I chimed in. You are going to be the best judge because you have the best picture. I came up with those %'s through research last year (which by the way was my 1st grow) and it was perfect. I did a bud wash and Dr Ziggy's low and slow cure and man was it smooth. Don't listen to the stuff about washing off the good stuff, my keif tray was bulging. Good luck, best wishes!
How do these look?like this...
Look at Bud Washing under this post. I've done it. Didn't seem to make a difference smoke wise for me. My buds were not as tight & solid as they usually get after doing it so I never did it again.
Nice looks pretty good, still have a lil ways to go tho, you have a good mix of milky and clear, I'd wait for more milky and amber trichomes myself... I like the cerebral high and sedative body stone buzz usually achieved with a 70% amber 30% milky trichomes.
If you want a more cerebral affect lean towards a more sativa dominant strain when growing hybrids. Well I'm not saying you can't make an Indica more cerebral, but it would be alot easier if your starting with the proper genetics that will head you in the right direction of a cerebral high.
Hey Man,
NO worries.... The good stuff as you call it, I'm assuming the trichomes which get you high/stoned is what you are referring too?.. It is oil resin based substance. So like oil and water don't mix, your trichomes won't wash off most will stick to the plant... Think about it this way, why do we need rubbing alcohol to clean our trimming fiskars scissors and not just water ...plus your not scrubing and bathing them your more like dunking and shaking the crapy dust and pollution off them.. lol
This is why us outdoors growers can grow outside, in torrential rains and thunderstorms etc...
after the wash. You could smell my Pineapple Upside down cake from across the park and the kief tray was bulging. Do you think I would suggest it to you if it washed off the good stuff, dude not how I roll. I want us all to grow the best and get better as a group, I think you will find that to be true of the whole
community.
