Ok thanks
@912GreenSkell makes sense to me now, it's a whole new world for me!
I have had a little chop which I updated in my journal.
I'm gonna copy the post to here if people don't mind....!
Day 72: A light haircut.
To cut a long story short, I chopped a bit, but only a tiny bit!!
So I dragged Dwarfy in a few hours ago for the big moment all excited to cut the top after finding amber trichomes and getting the vote of confidence yesterday to go for it.
Here she was....
She measured 90cm from stem to tip which is probably about the max height for a Dwarf strain?
I then thought to myself before I get stuck in I'm gonna give her some beauty treatment! You might remember weeks back I decided pretty much not to baby her and let her crack on through thick and thin and she certainly was looking weathered here before me so I carefully removed any fan leaves that were brown, drooping below horizontal or eaten to buggery.....
And after she looked lovely and neat like this!!
So after that out came the microscope again to go on the trich hunt.
Bottom buds, clear to milky just as suspected..... Moving up lots of milky.... And at the top, huh where's that amber?? I saw it with my own eyes yesterday, I got photo evidence! A bit more scouting about and I found amber patches but it made me think if it's only patches it's not nicely distributed on the top bud what do I do?
Part of my brain goes "Swan you fucker just chop some now, it may not get bigger and better, the time is now!"
Then the other part of my brain is going "leave it Swan my old chap, just leave it a couple more days and it'll grow bigger and better”...
Arrghh, why is it so hard to make a decision, can't someone come and do this bit for me....
And then in one swift move I chopped this off right from the top....
This is the bit that definitely had amber. I'd like to harvest some at milky too but that's all I cut for now, there's plenty left to choose milky from.
So I have a question... Is this a single bud or nug? Looking at the top of the plant I could of been a hero and cut off 3 times that length that looked like one big bud, but on closer inspection of this little bit I can see it still branches off here and there to individual bud growth. It doesn't really matter to me but it would be good to know.
Anyway here she is before putting her back outside. As you can see the top is flatter now I've removed those couple of inches. I'll look at her in detail again tomorrow and I might chop a few milky bits / buds / nugs or whatever I decided they are!
And a couple of pretty shots to finish. Green and purple go really well together I think...
Cheers
Swan

i grow her 20 days under cob lights, later i move her under sun into my glasshouse. I use only organic nutes (vermicompost, vermicompost tea, kelp, fish meal, blood meal....)
