Not quite yet. Have you done a tricome check? How long in flower?
Well it’s an auto… planted on 4/20 sprouted 3 days later… so July 16th would be 12 weeks old… just wondering could she be ready before that?!?
Depending on the strain. Some autos have a longer flowering period than others. You best bet is to check the tricomes. You want around 15-20% amber before harvest.
Bought a microscope deal to check them tricomes… should be in hand tomorrow I’ll get some pictures up I hope!
To those following. I’m new at this high magnification thing, but I think the shots are ok. Some amber in there what do ya think?!?
Check the calyx, not the sugar leaves. Sugar leaves often turn amber faster than the bud itself. You might chop too early if you go just off sugar leaves
Nice close ups, did you get these from your phone? Did you need a close up lens for it?
I bought a cheap hand held microscope thing from Amazon. I gotta get better holding it right to get the “just right shot”. It’s rough but it’s ok
Yeah… gunna try again just wanted to see how the thing works. Kinda fun really
Hella fun lol
I use the base from an old metal guitar stand. The clip for the microscope fits perfectly in the top. Much easier to hold steady
I’ve seen something similar on amazon i thought about trying
Is that straight into lawn soil that's interesting as long as the soil is healthy you'll have no problems she looks great
Yup! Sandy soil… I mean the peat moss it started in is in the hole, but yeah plunked right into the ground about a week and a half ago
She has the perfect color you'd want are you doing her with anything
Just (well now) bloom fertilizer every couple days… no real “special treatment” of any kind.
Whatever you're doing it's working fine she'll bud nicely
