ATTN GROWERS: Flowering Day 38!

They look good! Don't rush it and you'll see the buds will get a lot bigger! I would say a minimum of a month more. I've read in "The Cannibis Grow Bible" that you can grow them too long and loose some of the potency. It also recommends waiting until about 70% of the trichs turn to an amber color. Good luck!

some of us prefer harvesting when the trichomes are 'cloudy' and only 20%-25% trichomes start turning amber or brown ... reason being, as the browning occurs, some potency is lost, and the 'high' will be more and more of a body high, due to THC oxydizing/converting to CBN (cannabinol), which has only 10% of the psychoactive ingredients of THC ... the reason I harvest a little bit earlier, I try to dry and cure properly, and the trichomes will continue to darken even after harvest ... hope that helps ( I get my technical info from Mel Rosenthal's books, I highly recommend everyone has one, and read, read, read ) ... :smokin:

It's gonna be about 3-4 weeks I'd say.
Shiva is a high yielder so I'd guess a pretty desent yield.

What you described up there is my personal preferance. I like the body stone, with a small amount of uplifting head high.

Thanks everyone,

I ran out and got that pocket microscope from RadioShack. I prefer a head high, not a body high... so I will keep my eyeballs on her alot and see what I can do. I am sure she has some time left to get dense and fatten up, at least I really hope so.

And thanks for the compliments on the plant, she has been a pain, but I have taken good care of her. When shes done I hope she treats me right!
She is thirsty & hungry. i am growing her hydroponically...

Goes through 1000 PPM of nutes and 5 gallons of water every other day
