I'm asking this question cause the leaves are looking a lil amber when i used the windows preview I was zooming in and I saw goldish brown spots on part of the leaf. I was thinking of harvesting semptember 28:jointsmile: would that be fine? or should I just harvest it now the bud doesn't smell much but when you get really close to it. It has this fruity smell.

they look nice but i wouldnt harvest yet. they appear to be really white looking still. of course i cant see the trichs and such. if the sept date was how long they were supposed to mature then that would probably be closer to when you should harvest.

[purpledocious]

Well im not sure when its suppose to mature just a guess I wasn't keeping count of the weeks. I was looking around closely at the plant and I saw some goldish brown colors shining off with the suns light but not as much like tiny parts of the leafs not just one bud the 2 main colas to. lol sorry for being an impatient person I want to try my own bud already I planted this plant like a few days b4 4/20

this is the outdoor forum so it isnt as much about the weeks as it is about being ready. and late sept. early oct. are good dates to shoot for. dont be sorry for being impatient, we all know how that feels. it is really developed for outside this time of year, it may be sooner than your date you thought but at least a little while longer imo. disclaimer: lol i havnt ever grown out any white strains either and they look different to me.

[purpledocious]

This ain't a white strain It is skunk #1 :) does my plant look like a white strain?

So should I just wait like 2 weeks more cause I have some buds laddering up but not fully developed on the bottom can i just cut the top of the buds that look ready and let the bottom grow would that be alright?

Heres a close up to the trichomes the closest I can get with my camera

They look a bit early to me.. I look for most of the trichomes to turn a amber to brown while yours look pretty white yet.. But those are not outdoor and finishing now, If so where the heck you live?

[purpledocious]

Yea though I want the more upper high I mean being relax is great but I want that high that will blow me away. i live in southern California.

[purpledocious]

umm am I to of a newbie for this?

[temujin8]

i would give them about 20 days check the trichs every couple of days you want MOST (but not all) of them to be amber colored. nice looking plants BTW.

[purpledocious]

hehe thanks its my first grow
is bloom really necessary i just use Lime and Water I heard citrus is good for flowering plants not to much lime tho

[twoguysupnorth]

the best your camera can take? those are great pics. they do appear to be a whitish strain, or just a little young. if you want an up high instead of being stoned then i guess you are close. if you go mostly amber the you should get stooooned. no kidding those are really good pics. mostly cloudy heads are what i would guess you are going for.

[redrosesforabluelady]

just get yourself a little magnifying glass and when the trichs turn amber thats when you should harvest

[purpledocious]

yea i noticed when i smoked my friends out with the bud I snipped off a lil bud :) just for a test they were saying that they felt really relaxed and calm I even liked the high myself so I'll just wait and get that amber around my plant :).

I have another question would it be fine to cut off the bud that looks ready and let the other ones on the bottom that are not ready grow?

[BUZz UK]

Yes, you can take multiple crops from the plant, just don't stress it too much...
