How long to harvest?

[potentcheesydick]

Cook nthem out a week past the guidlines.

Maybe someone needs to wrfite up a thread to explain it? Anyone? Unless there already is?

Most mark on a calander when they flip to 12/12 for photperiod plants. Then a week or 2 past the breeders recommendations.
The breeders apparently mark on the calanmder when they start seing flowers forming or pistils (white hairs) forming.

With autos, mark in the calander when you see a seedling, I.e. when you see the 2nd set of leaves coming through, as a lot of breeders now give you a germination to harvest time for autos.

Also I use a USB scope to see my Trichomes.

Cooking them a week past the guidelines? Judging by the context of what u said do u mean vegging them a week longer than is recommended?

I think he means flower a week longer than the breeder says on the pack. Have yiu got anything yiu can check the trich's with?

Ah. And my friends at work atm but my wee ma has a magnifying glass at her house think that would work mate?

Veg as long as you deem fit in which style of growing you do.

When you put your lights on 12/12 mark it in the calendar, then say the strain you have is a 8 week flowering period, take it to 9 or 10 weeks.

Most people go for a percentage of amber trichomes. About 10% at the most I would say.

If you're trichomes are still clear then leave it unless you like a restless anxiety sort of affect.

You can use a phone if its got a good zoom - honestly they look near ready to me.

Not this phone haha, Microsoft Lumia banger im using was an exes dads old work phone can barely get a clear pic up close, its going to be a very low yield then if its nearly done wouldn't you say I'd honestly say about 7g dried, for a 5 month old plant not very good lol I enjoyed growing it and gained a fair bit experience tho so it was worth it to me, a q dried is a bonus ✌

I got a ¼ from each auto I did my 2nd grow. Tweak things and you'll soon gather a style of growing that works for you.

Good light coverage is a must, good air supply. Plenty of available nutritients but not too many.

Growth hormones help, you can get naturally derived and things like kelp.

Use your phone in white light,angle the light from behind n take some close-ip pics to see edges n see the tric lollipops n colors like diyrick said ,might help

[potentcheesydick]

That was the consensus i got when i looked at where i went wrong, must be why people say the best thing to help u learn to grow is growing, will definitely look into growth hormones, does kelp and tht go in hydro water , coco or both?

The distance I took the pictures at is how close I can get without I going blurry it was definitely not built with camera quality in mind.. Or phone.. They look mostly white rather than sparkly and see through though with simple observation, ill wait for my mate to get home from work for his loupe and let u all know
