New Grower Lucy's Very First Grow - Ak48 auto in soil LED

[NiceOption]

@NiceOption here you go. I am hoping to get an ounce from Stinky but I have no idea since I've never done this before. Most of her buds look runty now that I've cut all the fan leaves away. But, I really like the potency and I'll take quality over quantity since it's mostly just for me and I have 3 other plants in the tent still. I'll have plenty either way.

She smells amazing.

Looking nice n' frosty! Do you have amber trichs showing yet? From those shots I'd say she's got a week or so left... I know that might not be what you want to hear... I'm not an expert and there are many of those here that might want to chime in.
If you've sampled her and think she's good to go though, you're the best judge.

I like to go as long as I can personally and wouldn't harvest with that many white pistils showing.

Looking beautiful though. Quality over quantity always!
Yeah, looks like a little over an oz to me, depends how dense they are. Looks like you've got some nice nugs on your hands and no larfy fluff.

There aren't many ambers really, just a few sprinkled in among thousands of cloudy. I felt like she had another week also but when I tried it I knew that was the high and the potency I want......not to mention how long it lasts ....like 3 hours of being intensely wrecked followed by a body high for another hour or so. It's very possible that I just haven't had really good weed before but this is what I want. I'm afraid that if I leave her longer that I might lose some of this in favor of more quantity only .......of course i don't know if the high might get better with more time, just not sure I want to gamble on that. I'm a bit torn on what to do to be honest.

She foxtailed big time and with each new foxtail comes brand new pistils and new clear trichomes. It's making it hard for me to judge.

The high just changes with time, from racey to couch lock. I find when the leaves start dying and the plant takes up less water, means you have another week before they start to decline. IMO.

You're opinion is the only one that matters really. If you're happy with the stone (which sounds perfect) then give em the chop. I had the same issue with a Pineapple Express on my last grow. Lots of foxtailing which was confusing the hell out of me. Lower buds were 20% amber and the very top tops were like 3%
Potency was a bit low for me, but i think that was more the genetics than a harvest time issue.

Anyway, looks like you've done em proud for ya!

 

[LucidLucy]

Well again, I have nothing to compare to but these buds are very hard, much harder than I expected. There isn't much give when you squeeze them, they are really solid.

She is not taking any less water yet.

Up to you my dear! But I’m thinking to go ahead and plan your harvest for the holiday weekend, like you were hoping. If you like the effect now, a proper dry and cure will only improve upon it!

So happy for you! You’ve waited a long time, you deserve this. All the stars have aligned.

 

[bad dragon bzzz]

looking great caked in trichs,autumn colours comming out
the harvest window is a week or two long.technically anytime within that perriod is correct.personal preference needs experimenting with,took me a couple of years to figure out that amber trichs didnt agree with me,and indicas dont do much for me.
if in doubt 2 part harvest
good luck

 

[NiceOption]

EXACTLY! Right on NiceOption. I’m with you there. My budget is around a hundred dollars, and if I can’t get something that works for me at that price point I’ll just keep doing what I’ve been doing. It’s all good!

Just saw that Namaste Vapes are offering some good Black Friday deals, around 30% off or so. Thought it might be of interest to you.

Very nice job on your first grow, congratulations! Well earned rep headed your way. Time to get the next group going

Day 90 and I took Stinky down tonight mainly because I have a few days of decent humidity and then it will plummet to 35 % or so and I don't have a humidifier. So today is the big day yaaaaaay.

It's bittersweet because she's my very first but I get over the sad feeling of looking at her empty pot by vaping the most AMAZING pot I've ever had lol.
