Under the scope the trics are mainly cloudy, the one thing I am worried about is there is not a very pungent smell,

Ive never really been one to go with the whole cloudy/clear trichs as a 100% i use it with other factors. These plants just dont look near done to my eye I think theyre gonna swell alot in the next few weeks. Especially with a diesel strain it should be reeking when its close.

Plants tend to go on these phases of turning hairs brown, but then starting to push out new pistils. Some strains seem to do this in more pronounced ways and some less. Yours seem like it needs to grow new pistils and fatten up more.

If you are really broke(or cant get weed elsewhere) and temped, take only what you need from bottom parts of a single plant rather than taking down them all. And remember that every gram you take would had been 2 grams of much better quality weed if you had let it grow. So it might be better to buy some weed elsewhere and sell some of your crop if you are in some country where thats doable, have connections and willingness.

I agree with you on this one, I do use a microscope to check the trichomes but I can usually tell by looking at them. They look swollen, start to change color and in general look ripe to pick. It's almost like watching the leaves fall off the trees in the fall. I agree that they should reek, but in my experience lower quality plants may not smell very much and in fact even high quality seeds have duds in them. So where did you get your seeds/clones? They should smell by week 8, lol i can smell mine 3 blocks away on occasion.

Also my plants stink before there are even buds on them, I just brought 4 clones/3 strains to a friend recently and you could smell them in the car for at least a day after.

Here is the last pics of the Red Diesel on my last grow in June. This was at 11 weeks and I chopped her just a few days later. Nice vape, good taste and high. Huge fat colas on her, never do any topping or training; just like to see how they grow naturally.

That plant needed at least a few more weeks to reach it's full potential.

I can see why you might think that; stigmas not completely turned. However if you look at the leaves she was dying, and not because I was flushing, I feed right up to chop. I used to be the grower that would take them as far as they would go. Now I do not like the leaves to get all dead and dried up, makes it a pain to trim and generally looks like crap. All my plants are kickass strong, top shelf dispensary strong (and you can't swing a dead cat around here and not hit a green cross). My friends and family tell me this, it is just not a personal opinion. Thanks for the input and I mean that sincerely. :peace:
