I have 19 more days on this to go.

I have NO idea what variety, as I have been breeding this since 2002, at the time I was having a hard time finding weed, so bought the best weed I could find at the time and the bag had 4 seeds in it. Since then I've been breeding with other bag seed and this is what I've ended up with over the years.

I am guessing it will end up about a 1lb dry.

Thanks man!

It figures... at 53 years old, the one thing that I have lacked my entire life?

Patience......

Growing weed has taught me a lot including that and it's STILL hard to stay in my box.
Yeah the wait til chop sorta forces you to become patient. Being patient definitely pays off in the end.
That plant is a beast how long did you veg for?

I only have an iPad but I will try to use the little light on my magnifier and see what I can come up with. Will have to be tomorrow because lights are off.

Trichs know the truth, normally it's 60 days, which is Aug 18th.
Until all those pistils turn and recede in I wouldn’t even be thinking about chopping. Generally I wait for the pistils to brown and recede then wait two weeks and chop. Increases in yield, thc and terpenes have all been a marked difference when done this way with every strain I’ve ran. Tested and verifed via lab testing on my same clones and everything every time.

Trichs lie all the time. Damaged trichomes turn amber Unless you and nothing at all has ever touched your plant Including itself rubbing on itself. So make sure you check where no possible damages occur. Ie in the bud.

Usually the pistils change the week before 60 days….I’ve been doing this a long time….. I tend to like to harvest at peak, and let the cure do it's job. On top of that, I'm on a schedule and that schedule has been maintained for a long time and keeps my wife and I well supplied for near a decade. No offense intended or slight made towards more scientific methods you desire.

I base it off of doing several hundred plants every few weeks. you’re right they will START to change but still not ready. I seen the bud earlier you posted in your homemade bowl it was airy and unfinished. youll get better if you wait a bit longer. You yourself stated you have poor patience so why not work on that a bit and let it ride?

That bud was harvested earlier on purpose and should not be used to judge or as a reflection in anyway shape or form. It was grown organically start to finish without adding nutrients in my own soil mix from compost and mulch from my own garden, to see what the end results would be. The entire plant was yellow and buds had ceased growing. It was cut and harvested for the purpose of using it as joint and blunt material that my wife likes.

The plant in my under my light is in DWC and is in a whole different ball park compared to the plant that the bud you looked at came from.

I grow for my wife and myself, not for you, my priorities are different, again, no offense intended.

I tend to like to have joint material that is easily and smokable, not shit that sticks to your fingers that you can't wrap a paper around.

Or when you do manage to get a paper around it, it smokes like shit, won't stay lit.....

It's also why I grow plants and don't trim away the bottom branches, because it makes GREAT joint material that my wife enjoys.

I also like the greener, more THC laden high, rather than the THC degraded CBD effects of late mature/harvested buds provide.

On top of that, I am growing in a limited height situation and have to maintain a rigid schedule or things grow "unruly" in both my veg garden AND in my flower room.

Every garden and gardener has their own priorities.

Thanks for all the info.

So for starters thc doesn’t degrade to cbd it turns to cbn. Second I’m not trying to offend you but I’m also trying to get bad info out of your way. So the reason your bud didn’t smoke and stay light sounds like piss poor drying on your part. The thc laden high you’re wanting comes with properly finished bud. The effects depend on strain not when you harvest it. You may want to start training your plants to keep them from getting unruly for the start. Even though the plants were grown different still doesn’t get away from the fact that your plant in the pictures are far from ready. You’re also the first person I’ve ever ran across that doesn’t want that sticky bud. If your plant isn’t trichrome covered goodness then your losing on alot of thc and terps yet again and are either a: growing a shitty strain with lackluster genetics or b: your environment and everything is off.

all in all it sounds as though you need to reevaluate your drying process and how you grow. Either way the plant looks good a lot of larf at the bottom and definitely could have used some good training and cleaned up at the bottom a great deal. But either way good luck.
