I see some amber trichs...approx. how long before finish?

[latewood]

I know that i want 50-60% amber trichs, but I was just curious, can anybody give me a ballpark guestimate of how long give or take...that I can plan for
Just switched this plant to AN overdrive, replacing big bud...for those of you that don't know AN...overdrive is to enlarge the buds and push oils to increase thc levels...it has hormones and p-p enhancers...all comments and guestimates appreciated...thanks.later

I didn't mention that over drive is supposed to be used only the last 2 weeks before flushing for harvest, so that gives me 3-4 weeks until harvest...Do you think I am within timeframe for potency?

hehehe...you like to get to near passout point when smoking heh>?

me too.

but....50% is a little high there dont ya think?

THose amber trichs have degraded into many bi-cannibinoids, which is cool, but with out the parent precursers of the 8 delta which are a result of the degraded 9 deltas, they have trouble 'anchoring to' and 'squeezing' your neural synapses.

I suggest 25% at most...otherwise, you have the engine to go fast, but not enuff jet fuel to start the engines.

Anyhow, I would say after week 6 in flower, you can expect a 5% breakdown

week 7, five % breakdown
week 8, ten % breakdown
week 9, twenty % breakdown
week 10, thirty % breakdown
week 11, fifty% breakdown
week 12, sevetyfive % breakdown.

These are based upon an assumed 8 week normal peak flower grow.

Also roles playing in this equation are:

temperatures
water availability
humidity
slope of plant
mineral content
enviromental stress

Sorry HARDDON but that sounds like a Ed Rosenthal type of harvest chart. Talk in specific general terms but leave you self a way out.

That also assumes that growth is proportional and the THC will all degrade at the same time evenly.

You put on most of the weight of the THC in the last week of harvest.

I like to pull the plug at 30% average amber my self but thatâ??s just me. A 50/50 will give some serious couch lock but will not last as long as a 20 or 30% harvest will but it will have a heaver stone.

Way more to this than just growin' a plant when you really look at it. And at the same time they'll grow like a weed if you just throw em in the ground. Probably cause they are a weed.

You mean, kinda like a politician?

True: but the difference between an ounce per plant and 2 pound's and better per plant is all in how you grow them and take care of their needs.

It's only a weed to some to others it's much more, like medicine to get you through the day.

I think it is medicine for most of us...We tend to generalize it as a weed to prove a point to less knowledgable growers ...i.e In the end It'll grow, it's a weed...now with that said...I want to thank you guys for your input...I had been leaning towards 25-30%, because I want that uplifting high, but I'm gonna leave maybe 1-2 to finish later for medicinal purposes...I also read that thread, when you think their ready, wait another week, as a matter of fact, I am trying his method for curing...later
Good to see you up and around Zandor

Thanks Latewood, peace buddy.
