New Grower Updates and Question to My Dutch Passion Super Skunk Grow

[Dr. Babnik]

Go for one of the smaller buds, I won't tell........

That's an excellent idea to sample a small bud.
I'll see if there is one I can cut. If I chop it finely and give it an hour in the dehydrator, I can smoke it later today.

 

[Dr. Babnik]

No buds ready for sampling. I have microscoped both Super Skunks and the smaller buds have a high ratio of clear trichomes.

Maybe I give her one more full feeding of Senis Bloom, Overdrive, CalMagXtra, then one week with two waterings with molasse and then pure water until all of it is harvested.

Would that be a good plan?

 

[Dr. Babnik]

I just realise a grave mistake.

I have said the Super Skunk is Dutch Passion.

It is not.

It is Sensi Seeds.

This is by far the toughest stage on me. This is were I am still like a panicking mother with her first new born. When do you pull the trigger on harvest?!!! I have a digital microscope and a POWER magnifying glass. I go to one spot, she is 65% amber, I go to another and see 20% amber. I reckon you go when the average is there?

It's going to differ from area to area,I take the average(I like mine 50-50 at chop) and account for the resting (dry and cure) so I hopefully end up with 60-40 ratio or close to that by the time all is said and done. My friend who has really given me a ton of info and help just called it from looking at them (no micro or magnifying glass) and was pretty much right on. I asked him how he knew and he just said "believe me I have seen enough of them in 20 years". I would take the average,I would think that if you had 65 in one area there are more areas that are at a high level of amber.

Yeah he has a degree in botany but really is into the peppers,onions,tomatoes ect. He makes his own strains,he just happens to like growing good medicine also.
Anyway it's cool to have someone actually show you how things are done.

Coool.... I had only like 100 pages of botany and plant physiology in my curriculum. At my old university one became a plant biologist, marine biologist or one went to the Faculty of Medicine to study medical biology or medicin. I wnt sll in for the medical biology. 13 yrs ago I was granted a scholarship in stress physiology in fish with the purpous to better understand what happends in fish muscle (what we eat) when the fish is suffocated in air.
Ask me about fish or medical biology, i may answer at the drop of a hat, like your friend will, if he is asked about the kind of plants he has specialized in. Now I just want to be a teacher.

Whats up R.I.O.,

In regards to your buddy, I have guessing and hoping, with about one more round of plants complete, eventually...I can do the same.

I was too young when I did real farming outdoors and just went out and chopped when I was told.

I have noticed on a couple of my plants that just about ripe time, the colas started losing color?????

THIS is why I am having a BLAST learning about indoor AutoFlowers with @DoctorBabnik. Probably the only one in the group of Newbies I am with that is more OCD on research than I am.......Well, I think we are ready to shed Newbie, I hope......
