First off Iā??m not used to dirt farming and am noticing, well, less stuff. Less weed, less trichomes, much less density and stickyness in the bud department. Iā??ve been growing moms in dirt for years, but this is the first time I put dirt plants in my real flowering section. Also, Iā??m high, so please bare with me. Iā??m sure I might be doing things wrong, but the plants look OK, except for some extra yellowing on the AK. Also, Iā??m used to these babies being the way I like em after this amount of time. I find it a little hard to understand why simply growing in hydro would decrease days until harvest, especially if Iā??m treating them the same otherwise.

Iā??ll make somewhat of an effort to follow through, at least partially, somewhat. I hope to take a little from the plants every 5 days for awhile. Perhaps even supplying some side by side photos of buds and trichomes. Iā??ll compare the different highs and hopefully be able to find what amber percentages give me the medicinal values Iā??m looking for.

Well for what itā??s worth, hereā??s some buds from the tops of plants. Normally I would expect about 10% amber (my normal goal) and most of the pistils brown. These trichomes are pretty consistently cloudy, with a couple here and there just turning cloudy, and a couple just turning amber. Amber is way less than 1%, and strangely there will be one beautiful solid amber in a field of cloudy. Can someone explain this? From left to right is a bud from each plant and is shown like the overall grow. After trimming the wet weight is 7.3, 5.6 and 5.1 grams respectively.
