if so i dont mind waiting at all, the one plant that died i decided to harvest what i could off it and got 2 gs haha
well really what U wanna do is get your self a microscope and have a look at the color of the trich.
If U want a more uplifting high wate till all the trich turn a cloudy color but if U want a mix of uplifting and couch lock wate for cloudy and some amber trich then if U want a full couch lock the wate for mostly amber trich color.
that is what has been working for me.
:thumbsup:
k, do i look at the leaves growing out of the buds or the actual buds themselves?
should, that PPP is lookin' fantastic! I agree with the comments made, as she looks like she still has a bit more time - by looking at the pics. It looks like 95% of the pistils are still alive and thriving. I was told by an experienced grower that if you don't have a microscope/loupe, then you can eyeball the plant in gauging maturity of the trichomes by keeping an eye on the pistils. The more dried pistils/hairs the plant has, the more mature the trichomes are as well - being that the plant is in decline.
I bought a 30x loupe off ebay for around $8, so I'd recommend it. Dutch Pimp told me about a handheld microscope at Radio Shack for $12, so take your pick. Either one should give you a much more detailed look at the trichs in determining when to harvest. As hydro stated, from clear to amber you progress from an "up" high to a couch lock.
Glad to see your PPP lookin' so tasty, my friend! I can't wait for my lil' lady to step up with frost in her hair! Have a great weekend!
Get the loupe over the microscope. I own both and I can say that using a loupe is much easier and convenient, plus you don't have to press the bud right up against it to be able to see.Quote:

btw, just an update, i got the diesel ryder seeds today and theyre germinatin right now. on a sadder note, I overnuted the ppp soil and the seedlings didnt make it, but it was for the better because now the lighting schedule wont b fucked up...pics tonight of the finishing ppp hopefully
good news everyone, all 8 seeds germinated and i planted them today! sry no pics yet of the finishing ppp bt i think im gonna go se it tonight
alright im not sure if i fucked up but when i looked at it last night all the hairs were brown on the top so i checked the microscope and about 10 percent of the trics were amber so i chopped the main budoff and its drying now. i think its gonna way around 5 gs cuz it was 20 gs wet. if i did it too early i dont mind i still have the other half
