Help with Sativa Trichome Rippness

[weediologist]

Baggie Seed came out Sativa am on 8 weeks flowering using 300watts CFL, my goal is 10-12 week.

I took some pix now, this was taken in my grow room, i had the LED light ON on the microscope, but i dont know if the grow room light is giving a lil amber lighting on the Trichomes... i see cloudy ones but i think they are clear due to lighting...but then again i dont know if anyone help me on this.

From what I can tell, the vast majority of your trichomes are clear, I see maybe 20-25% cloudy and I see no amber ones.

 

[josh223]

I'd guesstimate that you have another 2-3 weeks to go. Maybe more with a Sativa or Sativa Dominant Strain.

Nice pics btw.

 

[weediologist]

ya i fucking hate i got a Sativa its take forever to flowering and gives less dense buds..... am going to check the trichomes again tonight as those where 3 days old see if i can better pix with it out of the grow room.

yep you got time give it a wait and wait smore
sucks but just keep checking when you get all cloudy with some amber
or mostly cloudy with some amber
unless you like it more heavy feeling then wait for more amber

 

[weediologist]

ya i see cloudy ones now but only lile 20-30% of them and my hair are still white and have not growth.... fuck it ill just let it go till it ready, i took a popcorn of the plant last night and microwaved it in a tupperware with moist paper towel on top of the bud and slow dried it for about 8 mins, the taste was lil leafy but the high was upper head high and then gave me a lil narcotic high after 30mins, it got me pretty quick, i was surpriced as microwave nukes 60% of the potency .

 

[weediologist]

i got purple kush seeds germinated and another seed from some bomb KB i think it was called green hulk.

 

[CronicHempHog]

well nothing dried in the microwave is gonna taste anything but grassy lol
wait till the hairs are at least 80 red then check the trichs again

[weediologist]

pix coming up

 

[ledgrower187]

Just repost all the pics and info in the same order as you have them on roll it up, but start a grow journal, it might take some work but if you want the help it will be worth it, this community is very knowledgeable bro! what is your main concern right now about your grow though?

 

[weediologist]

when the hell this will be done lol the most i have flowered is 9.5 weeks for all my Indica plants ... this is my first Sativa and hate it lol... am just going to start Jornal for my Purple Kush and my baggie seed of great green in 2 weeks .... they are in soil now under 24hr lights.

in this thread ill just finish up my Silver Haze... it only got 2-3 weeks maybe 4. Ill start flushing in 2 weeks.

 

[weediologist]

Please excuse the nastly bath tub lol .... time to clean and rechalk the tiles.

 

[CronicHempHog]

judging by the last couple pics its not ready yet

 

[ledgrower187]

Looking good so far, just keep an eye on those triche's bro! Im gonna let mine go to like 50-70% amber before chopping my girls down. Have you added molasses to your feeding? Would not be a bad idea it will boost your trichome production.

 

[weediologist]

no am not giving it molasses, till flush week. And i dont think molassess adds trichomes its just feeds the mycorrhizae (fungus thats breaks down the nutes to feed the roots). But i have been feeding 1/2 strength 20-20-20 + 1/4 strength 10-50-10 + 1 Tsp Epsom Salt in a gallon, all together pHed at 6.5.

I just feed it 2 days ago and soil should be dry in 6 days and ill then flush it and let the soil dry out for couple days to give roots oxygen and just feed it water + 2Tsp molasses, then just water in the last week.

 

[weediologist]

i wasw thinking in my last 3 weeks coming up should i change my light to 11/13 off/on, heard it helps Sativa rip faster.

 

[josh223]

You could but I believe you would have a diminished overall yield.
