Sounds Like You Got Yourself Some Good Smoke. There Will Be More Soon!! That Bb Looks Like It Could Be Harvested. The Bestway To Check The Ripeness Is With A Microscope. Radio Shack Has A Nice Little 60-100x Microscope That Works Well. Usually Harvest Is Done With 70-80% Orange Or Brown Hairs Are Present. Looking At The Trichs Is A Much More Acurate Way To Tell The Stage Of The Thc. If They Are Mostly Clear Let It Go Long The Thc Is Not Fully Developed. Cloudy Trichs Is A Sign Of Developed Thc. Amber Is A Sign Of Degrading Thc. It Is Impossible To Harvest With All Trichs Cloudy Because Different Parts Of The Plant Mature At Different Times. Usually A Combination Of Very Few Clear ,mostly Cloudy And A Few Amber Is When The Highest Thc Is Present. Some People Prefer A More Sedative High Wich You Will Encounter The More Amber Trichs That Are Present....lol Sorry For All The Rambling But I Figured That If You Didnt Need The Info Someone That Reads This Post Will Learn A Little About Harvesting. There Is Much More Info In The Faq Section.... Those T44 Are Looking Great. They Seem To Need A Week Or So More Be Fore Harvest. What Are Your Plans For The Next Round?

hey man...thanks for rambling....I appreciate the time and effort you have given up. Yes I have one of those....and prolly should use it....huh?!!....hahahahahaha....
As you've said, the t44 can go another week....and at this rate of ripening.....I am soooo excited about what I might be in store for....
Next....well....I am traveling for a bit, and will finish these and the clones of the top44 I have....I have to have everything done and finished by April....the clones are 7 weeks now and looking VERY good.....they are starting to show flower more now.....

Tahoe, Very nice buds. Much better then the bulk of my last grow. Only my one plant that was all by itself produced buds even close to what you have there, and even then. Mine did not comepare to yours.and for those that need their hourly dose of pics....I will once again share some of that wonderful biatch of a top44.....she continues to evolve and grow.....looking very very sweet indeed. needless to say.....I am a happy happy guy! hahahahahaha!!
How much longer do you think they have until Harvest. And how long have they been flower and vegged?
GRATS BUD!!!!!!!!

Hey Tahoe....looking so nice man! Do you have a little hand held microscope? If not, you should get one. Apart from helping to identify if your trichs look ready, it is just so fucking cool to actually see the trichs at 60-100x magnification!! 
I have a tiny handheld 100X magnifier with a built in light. Just snip of a bud leaf and place the little device right on it, press the button to turn on the light and just stare at it's beatuy. It's like looking at the stars on a beautiful clear night,,,,amazing!!

LDB....hey man thanks.....they are very purdy.....and sweet smelling....I will be giving the top44 about another week. the top44 is 9 weeks flower now with 19 days vege (total 82 days from sprout). There were a number of factors that contributed to the 9 weeks, with better management, she might have been done on time (6-7 weeks).
SW - yea I have one....I guess I should actually use it...ahahaha! the bigbud has had one more week of vege (26 d) and one less week of flower (8 weeks).
I will harvest the bigbud tonight......and provide a wet weight....

hey SW......thanks man....proud? yea totally! I feel pretty good.....while knowing full well that there are SO many things that can go wrong and do go wrong in lots of other grows.....certainly a good first indoor experience for me. and the smoke is so ....so....so...well, clean. maybe its just my perception but the stone is VERY clean and especially the come down.....it is so amazingly ...... clean...thats the only word I can come up with. it might just be all the other circumstances.....I just LOVE this smoke!

well....ask and ye shall receive. bigbud....top colas harvested....there are four that I trimmed up and have hanging drying now. the total wet weight for those four buds was 83g. The others I will leave as they looked like they could still use a day or so.....
and the other pic is the test top44 bud that I harvested and dried....weighed wet 5g and is between 1-2g dry.
I will continue with a phased harvest as buds come mature. The top44 will likely be mostly ready mid next week (the yield from this plant is going to be crazy.....). then the real work - trimming - should be fun....I can't wait!
