New Grower First time grower, critical purple and tangering dream

Day 75

Im happy to say the problems with the leaf discoloration is slowly going away, with the leaves slowly getting darker in splotches. I don't know if the flush did it or the pk booster I started giving them but they are looking nice. I noticed the buds are starting to swell out more on both plants. And just a bit ago, when I was taking pics, noticed that I have some ambering on both plants. This is a little quicker than what I was expecting, but hope everything will be ok. I know the TD I harvested only had a little, and my wife loves the lower parts that have dried. So on to some Shorty pics.

Love the swell in shorty. I never stopped cheering for her.

Main cola has come a long way.

I don't feel the pics do it justice. Here are the main cola and some sides.

Was just as surprised to see some amber on this plant. I am a little worried I waited too long as most things I have read say to harvest an indica before turning amber. But it just started happening, so maybe it will be ok....I hope.

As far as the TD I just harvested, my wife loves the smoke. The bottom immature buds dried first, and is mainly what she has been smoking on the last couple days. They were ready about 4 days after being put into the bags, and went into jars. She told me those lowers are a good head high, and makes for a great morning smoke. She got to try some from higher up bud this morning and was couchlocked….eheheh. Bet she falls asleep when she smokes the tops. I have been jarring some every day as needed, and today finally jarred the bigger buds. I wish I could have kept her out of it so I could have weighed it dry....Not happening. Best I can figure after drying and pulling out some of the stems is a little under 3 oz. I feel like I made some beginner mistakes or it would have been better. It damn sure would have been worse if not for the info on this site. I can't wait to start the next grow!
 
Bravo! Well done, 3 oz is nothing to scoff at. The colas are beautiful, swelling up nicely. All is well! Congratulations!
 
Nice job, man! The smoke will only get better as they complete the cure process. The taste and smells will become even more refined with each day, you'll see! I considered having a taste each day of the cure a scientific experiment... a very enjoyable one!

Three ounces of premium bud is at the top end of expectations for a first time grower. A great success, man!

So yesterday my wife harvested the critical purple @day 82. I hated like hell that she did it without me, but realize she was impatiently excited. She said that the wet weight was 408 grams yesterday. She put them straight into the paper bags, and overnight they lost some weight. It took her a long time yesterday to manicure the buds. Here are some pics I took this morning.

We are planning to harvest Shorty next weekend. She is looking so good now. Those buds have gotten dense! I will post some pics soon.
 
We all get over eager at times, just be glad she wants to help! :headbang:
