So I clipped many tops to open things up a bit. After drying, that amounted to 4.5 and there is probably around that much left to harvest. I'm going to chop completely tonight and hang em up to dry. Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped me out with guidance and suggestions...

Thanks for the explanation guy, that makes sense. I actually did clip a top 4 days ago to do just that. The last time I harvested a plant was in the 80's and that was before all this info was available. I remember the big bust title back then was operation "sea of green" lol definitely a...

So you think she's ready? Do you mind if I ask why? Is it the trichome pics or the bud pics that suggest harvest? Sorry, but what are you referring to when you advise to tweak the harvest window accordingly in the future.

OK it's been a week what do you guys think? The amber is freaking me out a bit. Is it possible the proximity of the tops to the lights are prematurely causing so many trichomes to turn amber? I've included some pics. As always any insight is appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the heads up guys. The trichome pics are all different colas and I see the clear ones. I guess the few amber ones threw me off. I'll check again this weekend at some point. Much appreciated!!

So with some amber trichomes in the pics you still think it will go another 2 or 3 weeks? I was under the impression that once I see about a third amber it's time to chop. So it would be ok just to cut the colas off clean to open it up a bit. Do I need to worry about this stressing the plant...

Hello all, I have a 2 part question but I'll start with a brief rundown. 1 white widow (nirvana) in 5 gal dwc bucket in a 2'x2'x5.5' tent under 4 cxb3590's running around 50w/piece 3500k. Depending how you look at it i'm either in mid week 7 with 1 week transition or mid week 8 no transition...

You could throw them out if you choose. Personally, I would boil them and blow some air through. Unless they are all falling apart that is. Good luck.

Also something to keep in mind is the length of tubing...if you're running off a splitter you typically want equal lengths of tube running to each stone. That being said if you have some under performing stones you can place them on a shorter length of tube to increase the pressure to that...

Well it's 3 weeks since flip and everything seems to be moving along nicely. I did however, end up trimming quite a bit. I really had no choice. It was and still is thick in here. I have 3 fans inside. 2 on the tops and 1 blowing up from the top of the bucket. Any thoughts on what to do with...

Hey GB, I did some pruning earlier this week but I'm afraid if I remove any more this will be detrimental to bud development. It's definitely bushy in there but there seems to be 2 schools of thought... 1 don't touch anything in flower aside from the random leaf or 3 2 trim away because the...

Doing a complete change today. I'll post back with the specifics and numbers. Canopy is about 18" from the cobs 1 week into flip. I'm super cropping to try and maintain this distance until stretch is done. I'm a lil ascared of the height now...go figure.

Sounds like a plan. I'll dump this batch and dial it down a bit (a lot). What do you think about supercropping before things get really crazy in there. Thanks for the advice as always.
