Go by the color of the trichomes. Do a search on them or harvest it's here.
Looking good but it maybe time already.

Hah this one seems like it's still another couple weeks or something. It's got alot of fat buds and more are still to come. Im going to try and regenerate this plant if possible.
Well the top halfs of the branches are more developed and mostly red hairs with some of that new growth. The bottom halves are still all white and growing for the most part. What should I do about that?
As well ass,whats with that leaf in the last pic?
Pay attention to your trichome coloration, depending on how heady you like your smoke it may be time to harvest.
Mind telling me or linking me something explaining that a lil more indepth?Like the more milky trichomes the more body high compared to head high and vice versa
It appears you are growing a vastly sativa dominant hybrid on one hand, and indica on the other.
For the sativa dom (Lemon), you will be looking for the milky 'white' trich's as to retain the heady cerebral high of the strain. Probably hitting 10% amber for maturity.
The indica dom (Blue Dream) will want nicely golden 'amber' trich's, almost like a nice dark pure maple syrup color. Push as far as you'd like in % amber.
This is my preference, accentuating the effects of each residual strain. If you prefer more of a "head high" over "body high" and vice versa - it is entirely up to you how little or how long you let them grow.
Nice job, as well man. =)
looks good man:thumbsup: all id say is stop useing SUPER THRIVE its not really ment to be used in the flowering period of MJ plants .
to much of a good thing can be bad for MJ plants man!
peace and love

Haha sweeeeet,thank you for that tid bit of very useful info Lama. (Lemon)Most of the top buds are 80% milky,spotted maybe 1 or 2 slightly amber trichomes on one of them. Going to see if I can save some of the lower branches to regen,this one has such a crisp skunky smell to it. Im hoping the clone I took will root as this is one strain I'd like to save. Originally from the 70's and my pops friend built it up for bout 8 years, I lucked out on picking this one out of the batch. Unfortunately it looks like it's gonna have a bit of a lower yield,possibly due to me plucking some of the fan leaves.Oh well,I still managed to grow some awesome nugs for my first time :D
As far as the superthrive goes,I only used it a couple times. I have NOT used it in probably a month,due to no vitamin analysis on the bottle. As well as it's extremelly concentrated,I didnt want to mess up my nutrient program with it. Screwed up though and forgot to write down my nutrient watering and over nute'd it. Flushed it 2 days in a row with gallon and a half each and they were fine. I've stopped watering the Strawberry lemonade plant as well,I've heard not watering the last week or so increases resin/helps drying process.
Lastly can anyone recommend a good way I should dry and cure these?Like a personal favorite that works well,not that I'm slamming CannCom's method. Im just open to any and all ideas
for youre first grow you should keep it simple.hang the plant in total darkness and with a low humidity.this site has help me out as im new myself.alot of other people do alot of trial and error type grows,but this is your first and only batch and you can totally ruin it with mold which is not reverseable like over nute and all the other things that happens to a grow while growing.so keep it simple and then try all the other stuff (with your clones)like brown paper bags and stuff that can mess up all the hard work that you have put in.also check on the driing plant every day looking for mold,but do not touch the plant.just my 2cents and what i do with my meds.good grow and get better
Well I just chopped my strawberry lemonade yesterday and trimmed it all down. As well as I checked out my Blue Dream plant, bout 95/5 milky/amber. Getting ready to pluck her in a couple days:D. Back on topic,I cut all my trim leaves down and gathered them all into a paper bag and folded it over couple times and put it in my closet to dry out. Whats a good way to tell when their dry and ready to run across a screen for hash? I ended up hanging just the whole plant to dry as it's got alot of room around the buds for airflow to get them all. I've been wondering though,does the plant need to dry in complete and total darkness,kinda how the dark phase is during flowering?
