67 day of flowering and still doesent look close to being ripe.I change ferts to cha ching fox farm 9/5o/10 ive read its for late flowering and give good results.finally i up grade my ph meter to an hanna checker i had a ferry moris.The buds are getting fatter everyday but the tricomes only seem to be on the pod only but all in all thing lookin ok.I do have a 60/100x scope oh one more little detail was i had to put a glass of water in my cad to get some type of humidty well enough for now happy growing:jointsmile:

OK,I finally figured out how i was getting humidity in my cab when not having a humidifier in works, i have these white rocks a friend gave me and told me to put them in the pot first and then pour the dirt in or put the rocks on the bottom in between the run out saucer and pot i believe this will give u better drainage and keeps the soil moist longer.I found out it also brings the humidity up nicely too.I dont remember wht the white rocks was called,but if anyone knows could you post the name,thanks.

I would go by the trichomes smoky...if they are cloudy or amber, it's ready despite what anybody elses looks like. Every strain has it's own characteristics....the white strains get lots of crystals, sativas are tall, some strains mature early and some later, etc. I do agree that the hairs all still look white but if you are saying the trichomes are cloudy & amber under your microscope, then it is time. Flush them for a week or two with nothing but plain water, then pluck those bad girls.

Also, you do NOT want humidity during budding...it can cause mold in the buds. Humidity during veg is great but not flowering.

And those white rocks are called perlite I do believe.

doco......I appreciate the quick response and yes thats what they are called.I dont remember saying that i seen some amber,but if i did then i missed type there just cloudy right now and i still see calyx growing with new stigmas if im pronouncing it right so i believe im still in late budding and also doesn't the hairs should be like 70 percent red,brown,orange,etc

Yep, you're on the right track then, next stop, Budsville Station. Maybe I read amber into it somewhere.

wow still cloudy at 13 weeks doesn't really look tasty and buddy at all i must have made a million mistake. seemly since its was my first grow it was due to happen.I will show disappointing pics of the plant for the last time soon thanks to all who help me thru this :S5:
