    Will 150w HPS outperform 372w of T5HO?

    Under the microscope the trichomes appeared less "cloudy" than when I looked at them with a hand-held loupe under the growlights, so this could be tricky. My grower-friend who was over a few days ago said it's hard to get all the buds to have the same degree of maturation, so you have to go on an individual basis. He said his rule of thumb was to pick when the bud had mostly cloudy trichomes, with an equal amount of both clear and amber/black. But Rosenthal says it's a bit of a user preference because you're really selecting for THC vs CDBs, with the latter being present in the cloudies, the former enriched in the clears.

    Thanks chromophore....getting a little nervous about the sugar leaf issue. I'm using a handheld jeweler's Loupe, I think it's 30X, I'd have to see if it's marked. I'm more concerned with THC, I'd like a couch lock affect if possible. Relaxation is key to me, I am just too high strung my friend.
    Well, I will have a good look tonight, but we have to be close at this point. Water uptake is down and chlorosis is rampant. Not many Fans left anymore, and the smell?...Heavenly.
    I snuck a little branch the other day and dried it. The taste was incredible and the effect at 7 weeks was admirable.
    Wed is 8 weeks, I will report back late tonight.
    Thanks Chromo!

    But to answer your question I believe "cloudy" is a better description rather than "milky" at least from what I've seen. "Translucent" would maybe be better. They're not solid white, just not water-clear. Like they're filled with vaseline. Hmm, that's kind of unpleasant. But I can't think of a better example at the moment.

    I think for couch-lock you want CDBs, but we need one of the old-timers to clarify this.

    Couple quick pics. Took a very good look under two different lights with 30x doubled, they are done....and their place has already been taken.
    The HPS Girls will be a bit longer, so Mama plant get's a short reprieve. She will get her own Light, she is a big bitch! :smokin:

    Trying something different on the next one's, I only topped one of them. I'm going to just let them go,(if I can stand it) without tying them open like the pictured one's were.
    What the hell, half the fun is the experimenting.

    Thanks ranger!...and I hope they smoke like they look Chromo. They are "in the dark" for 72 hrs before I wack 'em. I read somewhere that was a good idea, why not try it?
    Round 2 is in the bag, round 3 started the roll. :jointsmile:

    Know it's late this time, but your hooked now!! When I think a plant is ready,I give it another week, and sometimes another.
