New Grower The Killing Fields (aka My First Grow)

[Muddy]

Plants are looking very nice. With fan leaves just starting to yellow you've probably got at least 3 more weeks to go.

Damn. That means 6 weeks till I'm smokin some Own Grown I'll try to hold out. :booya:

Thanks Muddy!

If your on day 64, then your probably closer than you think to harvest...Do you have a 60x scope? The trichs will tell you when to harvest....Not all, but most auto's will go amber like photo trichs do when she's done. So if you have a scope, take a look and see if their cloudy lookin. If so, wait till you see 1/3 amber, then harvest...If ya don't have a scope, then try taking a close up pic or look through a magnifier....That's better than nothing...lol...
But the descriptions on your plants are at the most, 65 days...For the most part, these time frames are pretty close...So watch real close from now on!!!

OOPS, I just looked at the NL. It's got an 80 day til harvest time...Pyramid Seeds right?

I have a scope. They are all cloudy right now. As soon as I see ambers on the Vertigo and 60 Day, I will take them. They are supposed to be "Super Couch Lock" and I'm not a big fan of that. The NL has a lot of trichs on the buds, but very little on the leaves, so i'll let her go to 30% or so. Same for the Sativa, but her leaves are fairly frosty.

Thanks

Don't be surprised if you see no amber when you look through your scope. In my experience, most auto strains do not amber. I check mine with a 100x scope and it's rare that I even see a few amber trics, let alone a high percentage. Since you're looking for a more up high, and your trics are all milky, you could take them in another week or so but you'll miss out on some fattening of the buds that takes place as the plants feed off the stored energy in the fan leaves.

 

[stashmouth]

I can easily give them another week to ten days. Had planned on letting the NL go right to month end. Will probably let the Sativa run that long too. The other 2 are the ones that remained stunted, so I probably won't miss much fattening if I take them in the next 10 days.

Thanks for the heads up!

Ripster-
No, the NL is from Nirvana. Probably a copy of Pyramid's though.
Hoping it will finish by the 30th. I need the tent for my second run!!!

That would be 80 days, btw.

Day 73 - Vertigo harvest

I spotted enough amber trichs on the Vertigo to put it in a dark period starting Sunday evening.
Got a little bored this morning and decided to harvest her.

Remember, she was stunted from the get go. All my fault.
I guess the dry yield will be about 7 grams after removing the stems and a little more manicuring. Wet she weighed 62 g just prior to hanging her up to dry.
Will let her dry for a week at 45% rh.

Boy, she was dripping in resin.

Pics....

I haven't sampled any yet, but I don't think I would run this one again.
I just bought into the seed bank hype that it would be ready in 60 days.
Live and learn...

I wouldn't be surprised if you get a bit more than 7 grams. Dry weight is usually around 1/4 of the wet weight, so you might get half an oz.
