    Is it ready yet??

    Will the trichomes on the buds turn at a different time that the leaves? It's a little difficult to check, because I have to clip a piece off and bring to my computer to get under the scope. (and of course I don't want to clip to much of the buds off before their time!)

    Is it ready yet??

    AHA!! If I turn down the light source, it paints a whole different picture!

    Is it ready yet??

    AND...When exactly do you start counting the days? At the flip? A week after the flip? Once it starts to actually flower? (I've heard different things)

    Is it ready yet??

    This Jack Herer strain. Flipped light schedule at 63 days. It's now day 56 since the flip. In the first pic, the buds do not look mature to me. In the second pic, the trichomes look pretty clear to me, but it's really hard to tell. In the third pic, it looks like a couple of the trichomes look...

    Problem with Potency

    Your Birthday cake should be 24% THC. That means you have 240 mg of THC per gram of bud. One ounce is 28 grams. So, 240 X 28 = 6,720 mg of THC potential per ounce of flower. I figure a 20% loss in the infusion process (If you had an Ardent Nova or FX, they claim only 10% loss with certain...

    THC + MCT oil Tincture not potent at all

    You bet. Just as an FYI, I usually infuse 4 grams of decarbed flower per 1 oz of EVOO I'm using 25% THC flower. 4 grams = 1,000mg potential THC. I'm also only figuring a 10% loss, since I'm using a Nova with EVOO. That leaves me with 900mg THC per 1oz of oil. There are 29.5ml in 1oz. Which...

    THC + MCT oil Tincture not potent at all

    Also, here's the math: If your cannabis has a 20% THC count 20% = 20.0 Move the decimal place one place to the right 20.0 = 200 200 mg THC per gram If you had 7 grams of 20% THC decarbed flower, then it had a potential of 1,400mg of THC. Take out 20% loss due to inefficiency in your infusion...

    THC + MCT oil Tincture not potent at all

    You just made it too weak. There could be a few reasons; your decarb method was inefficient, your ratios are off. This is a very good read: https://ardentcannabis.com/blog/how-to-infuse-cannabis/

    Yellowing on SOME leaves Nutes or lights or both?

    I've done some LST on the stems, which is why they are more spread out than tall, and also topped main stems on day 38. Below is the chart I've been using for nutes, but just the three I've mentioned.

    How do I get rid of these flying creatures?

    I'm pretty sure my butt crack isn't the issue...After googling drain fly, I think we have a winner: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychodidae How Did I Get Drain Flies? If these flies are present in the house there is almost certainly a slow or clogged drain. Drain flies gather, mate, and lay...

    ? About harvesting

    Is it possible to leave a few buds on the plant longer than others? If possible, I'd like to do that to see the difference and have some buds that are higher in CBN. Will the remaining one or two buds still progress normally if most of the plant is removed?
