Yep, I figured as much. I've only ever got one plant to harvest and it was a pitiful effort so the fact i can already see over 10oz in my tent is super exciting. Looking forward to some baking!
Sweet ok thanks for the tips. Glad to hear they will get bigger too! Once the majority of the pistils turn orange I'll use a jewellers loupe to check for amber trichomes. I've read that once 15% of trichomes are amber, that's the right time to harvest? Do you agree? I want a well ripe smoke, I get anxiety when I get too stoned. Been smoking for 20 years and the last two have been a real battle in terms of anxiety and paranoia haha!
Thanks, appreciate you taking the time to look and comment.Great photo! Lol at the new dad comment. 420 babies are far less work that human offspring. Good job!
Yes, the more Amber the more sedative & relaxing the smoke will be. I usually go 10 - 25 % Amber myself. If it doesn't make me lazy it's not good weed as far as I'm concerned. I want the Reggie High but 10 times stronger .... lol.
Oh no! I'm sorry! Give me moment while I try to get my croc out of my mouth.
I hear ya. Ok well maybe I'll take it a bit further tha 15%... I like being body stoned, rather than an intense head high that makes me spin and freak out! That's why I usually smoke outdoor weed. I find it less potent and easier to smoke/ingest at a reasonable pace without the "oh shit I smoked too much" moments.
Congrats on making it this far none the less. I have to admit I splashed out on my grow gear($2500) so maybe that's given me the advantage? Or just good genetics... I'm in New Zealand. The market is cornered here because we are small, and because weed is still illegal. Any pics of your plants?
I see arguments for both sides - a couple of the more well known members have stated they give nutrients up until harvest as they don't personally notice much difference and feel it gives the buds the nutrients they need to get fat all the way til harvest time. Though I also see those who say to flush if you're using bottle nutrients so that you don't get that nutrient taste. Either way, I don't personally have a preference as I'm still figuring stuff out myself but I am going to do the flush style as I have used my whole bottle of nutes anyway
Sounds like you've had a bit of a nightmare. My last grow got to week 5 of flower and hermied so bad that 90% of the buds were seeds. So it could definately be worse is my point. I'm in the same boat as you. Inexperienced, and just happy to have made it this far. Think about all the shit you've learned along this grow, the good and bad... next grow will be easier. And again. And again.
Haha. Love it. The empty bottle was the deciding factor. Makes sense. You make some good points. I guess it just comes down to making a choice and not giving a fuck about the what ifs.I see arguments for both sides - a couple of the more well known members have stated they give nutrients up until harvest as they don't personally notice much difference and feel it gives the buds the nutrients they need to get fat all the way til harvest time.

Cheers bro. All the best
