This is a test. Different harvest times and parts of the plant.

I don't try to grow every strain under the sun. I prefer to specialize in one or two strains. But, that's just me.

I hope to merge widow with rhino...one day...:weedpoke::rhinoceros:

That's good to know, and I'm beginning to agree. I harvested some today, probably 3/4 of the top buds. It doesn't really seem like the amber percentage has changed much in the past 5 days. I'm still a little puzzled since I'm used to harvesting at 10% amber before now, but that's been in hydro. Amber is still not quite 1% now but almost, and the trichs mostly just looks like big fields of cloudy.

Last night and today I smoked the big BBxNL bud. Very nice I must say. Maybe I like em with a bit of clear in the trichs. At least I think I'm going to try harder from now on to have some of both around. I'm still high, but not knocked out or run down, like I'm used to several hours after my 10% amber AK-47.

The BBxNL hardly has an odor, but reminds me of hauling alfalfa hay, with perhaps a straight shot of Everclear. Even with hardly any amber it is powerful, much like the AK. A couple hits and I forget I was planning on taking more. The AK is, well you know, loud, obnoxious and powerful, with a hint of cherries or something. Nice and stinky, maybe strawberry mouthwash. One hit's enough to make your heart race and your bowels move. Then after a couple-3 hours it's off to vegetative sleep.

They're still on just water. Man it's hot here today. Here's the ladies after their haircuts.

And another feeble attempt at 30x trichome photography.

You are too humble.
That's pretty impressive for a hand held loupe.
May they smoke as sweet as they look.

Well Done, Lad!:D

Say, OY,

Something you said to Transcender caught my attention;

"How far you can go depends on variety. I think 13 hrs is a good cut-off point, but some might flower with 14 hours of light. Experimentation needed. I don't think less light toward the end would do anything except reduce yield. Once a plant has the proper amount of light to flower, less light won't make it flower more. It's either budding or vegging."

Absatively!
But, I think it's the 12 hours of darkness that triggers flowering!

You can really mess with a plant just by taking a flash photo in the middle of the night. Seems it resets a chemical timer that I'm too ripped to even look up right now. Yhe point is, 12 hours of darkness is enough for whats-its-face-zyme to degrade and trigger flowering.
In the wild, after triggering, the nights keep getting longer. Which gives the girls less light to grow in.
Advantage, indoor!

I'm thinking about 13 hours dark and say 18 hours light on a rotating cycle.
Whuddaya think???

Weeze

Ditto:thumbsup:

Your photos are definitely gettin' the job done.

I'll be paying close attention to your findings.

I think you'll be back to doing it the right way in no time, but good luck.
Perhaps your own growlog to document the attempt? :jointsmile:
