yeah im only workin with about 11hrs of direct light right now. i checked like three lil leaflets from different sides of the plant today and i only saw one or two clear trichs, it was all cloudy with only a few amber. im gonna see what she looks like on new years and it may be chop time. id rather it be a lil fresh than risk overdone. depending on what it looks like i may let it go another week.

What do you mean by overdone?

surfbum

well i know ive read that amber is the final stage of trich development. after that the thc degrades and you lose potency.

Its true, trichs will actually turn black but before that happens your tricks will be like 90% amber. You have a long way to go till that happens because by that time the plant actually begins to die.

only time ive seen black trichomes was an early november snow, and a forgotten female. i saw it, while walking my dog, picked a bud off, took it home and saw it. crystals looked more like ink dots.

ok surfbum... after chatting the other nite and now seeing your pictures I'm going to go out on a limb and advise you to let them go longer. I think they have more in them.

Peace- OD

well heres some pics of the buds before they go into the jar. when i trimmed i did a wet trim of all the bigger fan leaves and trichless leaves. then i trimmed the tips of the sweet leafs with nothin on em(sacrificing a tiny bit of trichs, but its ok) then just hung it upside down and let the leaves wrap around the buds. they dried for about 6 days in a box i made and used for the last crop. i had a fan on low right outside the box just to keep the air fresh and cool. theyre pretty dry but still just a tad fresh in the middle. overall im satisfied with the way the buds turned out, i got good reveiws last night as i tested it out on a few people. ive paid good money for buds that looked just like these but with a more distinct high.

it has a distinct citrussy smell and taste to it. almost like a pineapple tangerine, if you can imagine the two together. its not anywhere near as harsh as i thought it would be with the short dry and early cut. there is a lil cough to it but only on a deep hit. the high itself isnt too intense. you can definitely feel it, although its more of a mental/inspirational high than a body high. after two small bowl in the pipe i could feel it in my eyes, my friend calls it "pillow eyes". the two bowls had me nice n high for about an hour before i felt the need to take another hit or two.

i think the next part of the crop will be a lil heavier hitting being as i let it go a lil farther. heres the pics, enjoi. cause i am.

oh yeah, the weight so far of just the buds in the picture, is 7.8. i know ill lose a bit more as they dry completely but ill prolly have ended up with a lil less than a sac. thats cool with me seein as how theres another ten branches like those on the plant so im fully confident ill end up with about 1 1/2-2 zips.

thanks
