Here we go again lowryder2

Hi wm but rod not sorry to hear it m8 i got it in my ak going to try (hollands hope) next year.

Take it easy.

Nice looking nugs wm, lots of crystals.

When you manicure them what do you do with the 'small leaf' trimmings? (are they called 'sugar leaves'?).

I'm just wondering because mine have quite a few trichs on them and it seems a bit of a waste to just cut them off. I had planned on drying them too, and either using them in joints or cooking with them (if I eventually collect enough).

I'd be interested to hear your take on the subject.
Cheers
Flame

hows it going Floyd, your ak grow is looking sweet your lucky you could move your outside ones in with your other grow, i've got to get some lights. the Mrs is cool with me building something permanent in the garden.Hollands hope is meant to go well outside with our climate, was looking at them last year another one that has potential with our climate is Early Pearl, very hardy, mold resistant with a big yield, thc content 17% i think thats right.
Flame hope your girls are doing good.with the small leaves that are caked in trichs i useally smoke them they are so full of trichs i wouldn't want to waste them lol, you don't get as good high as the bud but you definately get a buzz.
Harvest time for the largest today, mold keeps appearing even though i have 3 times cut it out with a stanley blade, i would have liked a few more amber trichs, 95% cloudy 5% amber in the end, would have liked 80/20, but i still have the small one which i put in the shed at night, that has no sighns of mold so i will carry on and hope the buds bulk a bit more on that one.
when dry i will weigh. them last couple of buds were 2gms and i have just smoked a couple of joints verdict this post has taken me at least an hour lol it's good.
heres a pic of the cut

Nice harvest wm, looking good!

I've got a couple of questions I'm hoping you could help me with. I'm trying to judge the best time to 'chop in' my plant, and I think it might not be too far away now.

Can you take a look at the pic, and give your thoughts as to how you think it's doing, also, does the fact that more than half of the pistils are amber mean it's end is near.

I'm guessing it's probably a couple of weeks, but would appreciate your expertise.

looking fantastic flame:thumbsup:you cant judge a plant by its pistils, best way is with a magnifying glass 30x is idael i only have 20x eye loupe £2 from ebay but thats good enough. you need to be looking at the trichs heres a link to help you.http://boards.cannabis.com/attachmen...7&d=1122444319
keep letting me know how your getting on:jointsmile:

Cheers, thanks for that wm, I'll get right on it!

:thumbsup:

hey weed, did you build that box yet?, I read earlier you were worried about color of cfls...when lookin for cfl look for an approx 6000k-6500k for veg or a 2700-3500k for flower, since your growing an autoflower Id mix the 2 and go full spectrum!...great looking plants by the way! have you done any research on the power stout auto flowering?, Ive been wanting to get some seeds but I live in the US and am paranoid as to who I should try, any suggestions?

thanks for dropping by wisco, i haven't started the new box yet' no excuses just been a lazy stoner lol, thanks for the tip, so K represents the lumens? didn't realise that i was just looking for lumens on the box and couldn't understand why most didn't have it but now i know K stands for lumens that will make things alot easier:thumbsup: Power stout is a new one to me i'll do a little research on them. as for you getting seeds i use a U.k supplier everyonedoesit.com, don't know if they ship to the states but i think they probally will, there was a thread a while back in the seeds and strains forum on where to get seeds from, have a look in that forum.
heres a couple of pictures of the dwarf who's doing o.k

10 grams dry was the weight of the last plant, expected a bit more than that but it's 10g more than i had before and it's a nice smoke.
the dwarf has not changed over the last few weeks,very cold nights and short daylight i think is the cause, and a small bit of mold has just appeared so i have chopped before it gets to the whole plant.

wow. geat job.
