multi strain partial log wk3 of flower

[lipps]

Pot is like a fruit it goes from flowering to ripe, some people like their buds green others fully ripe. A trick you can try is when you think they are ready snip a piece of the bud off and quick dry it to see what it looks like.

Yes im well aware of this as its a tried and tru method to see ur quality but that has nothing to do with really telling u if ur in the harvest window! AS NOONE wants to pick right before the last growth spirt lqnd miss out on an extra 50 percent increase In bud size!!!

Some experienced growers chiming in would really help here!! No offense but im seriously considering switching forums as responce rate here is utterly pathetic!! Maybe its me but considering everyone who posts has to beg for respones just to get a half ass responce thats so skimpy u can tell the person never even read the original rpost to know the question they arent answering!!! I mean this is supposed to be where we come to help one another!!! WTF!!!?!??

i know the feeling man :/ im new to grow and try to learn allot but ppl dont respones and if the do its almost all some thats new to and just trying to help but dont know more then our self , im feeling the size are just for a few old guys that are riding to their buddy's in their friend list and thats it then all the noobs and new growers and stand and try and respones to their own trets

Switch forums. Try IC mag, it has the most information. But you still have to read it. Folks don't generally read through all the grow logs looking for the odd question about grow problems here or there. If it is posted in the correct sub forum with it's own thread and title it is more likely to get answered.
It seems accurate that this site is visited more from new growers and non-members lately. Not a lot of people from the past with experience with growing and posting on the internet. I still visit here but most of the interesting reading I do is on a different forum. Lots of cash croppers and large scale medical marijuana providers with great photos and grow logs. But not here.

To try and answer the question, why do your plants look the way they do? When to harvest?
I have not experienced premature amber trichomes. High temps in the grow room could be at least partly to blame. The outdoor plants may also have nutrient 'challenges'.

It's not always easy to determine peak harvest time. Many strains keep on putting out new pistils forever, under certain conditions. Others will never show amber trichomes. It isn't always like it is 'in the book'. The knowledge you need will come from experience. No short cuts there.

See ya, and good luck.
