If this is in the FAQ's, :spew:, sorry bout that..

It seems to me... because I'm able to watch my plants all day...that in the later afternoon @ 5-ish...the trichs seems to be extremely heavy...and I'm on the apple juice, so now I have stciky balls of goo to look at too....but

is that just aesthetics?...I have a jeweler's loop I gaze at my buds with, so I think I can see 'em pretty well...the trichs and the gooey balls come out with the afternoon sun...

is this just a show my plants are putting on for me, or is it trying to tell me something?

I"m choppin them the day before Motorhead:twisted:..which is Tuesday....Lemmy know what you think, please..
:peace:

nah..just a bad time for a bad pun...I wouldn't rush em like that for the concert..

trichs are just starting to show amber (sorry, I was kinda cooked when I posted this)...I just wondered if it mattered what time of day I clipped 'em..

they look like cotton freaking candy in the late afternoon Sun...they don't look like that in the morning sun

I just wondered if it made a difference

you will be happier with the results of taste and cure if you wait
i like to give mine up to 72 hours dark before i chop em. more resin production
so it depends on what kind of high your after.
all red -couch lock
half and half - med
cloudy - more a head high

the slower the drying the better results. mine take 2 weeks to dry but thats after 2 weeks of trimming in stages

so the cotton candy thing is just a show?...I appreciate the effort Sun and Plant put into it, I guess....I have three, so I think I'll give one of 'em the 72 hours of dark B4 I cut it...see what that does 4 me..and thank you

Yeah... I'm more of a Sativa run real fast into a brick wall and start a project kinda guy...couch lock leads to brownies, doritos, and that bitch little debbie; When she gets in your house, you're fucked

Oh well...DaBuds are gonna start looking like Cotton Candy in about 2 hours...and it doesn't matter....I'm crushed

who`s debbie? lol i would chop just before light on if you dont do the dark thing. opposite of what you think it would be. try to harvest at differnt intervals and see what workd for ya.
remember that they will usualy do 2 swells and the last one is just before harvest. a good singn to me

All trichs are cloudy=gives an "up" kind of high.
40%amber and 60% cloudy=couchlock
All amber= THC has degraded in potency and will continue.

If you pick when it is all red you will find yourself with weak,dissapointing weed.THC has then degraded 30%.

getting high isn`t all about thc. there are many other chemicals that work in the plant to give different highs.
