looking very nice there mate how many girls do u have an what size light are they under .....think u could send a sample over to nz for me lol top effort bud

 

[stonedsmithy]

oh also roughly how tall are they an do you remember how tall they were when you 1st put them into flower cheers

 

[RAD]

There under a 600w HPS...I started flowering when they where 18 inches tall i think there like 30 inches tall now

 

[RAD]

Ive also noticed this last couple of days the buds have gone from not growing to lots of new growth, Is this normal??

And one more question...My buds are rock hard dense and they feel bone dry to the touch..Will these buds loose much weight when i dry them as they allready feel dry and rock hard..hummm???????

 

[LaserKittensGoPewPew]

when they dry they will lose a lot of water weight. You can weigh the harvest before being dried and weigh it afterwards and you'll see the difference.

 

[stonedsmithy]

yeah there proberly gettin close to the end of there cycle so there goin hard gettin in that last lil bit of growing b4 you pull them an yer i think by the time ya pot drys out it roughly works out to dry to half the weight of when its wet when you gonna pull em

I thought mine were almost done too, then all of a sudden they started to pack on some serious weight. Good thing I didn't chop them, because I maybe would have got half of what I got now. So I bought a 30x microscope, checked the trichs, and they are still not ready to harvest. I was going to cut them down 2 weeks ago, because I was getting alot of brown hairs. I think they still have a week to go. Just my 2 cents.

Oh, and I don't think I have one fan leaf left. There are only a few leaves left, and the rest are tastey nugs

If you're not watching the trichs you won't really know when it's time to chop. No two ways about it.
While it's nice to dream that your buds aren't going to lose much weight when you dry them they are going to lose betweeen 75-80% of their weight. Nice try though!

Yep...I agree!

RAD even though everyone is telling you that you might not be ready... who cares... if you think its time ... then its time... just go with what your gut says

 

[Crazy Horse]

Who cares if it is not ready!? What are you talking about? That is one of the most important thing about mj is harvesting at the right time. All we are saying is don't sell yourself short. Like I said, if I were to cut mine down when I "thought" it was ready, I would have been thoroughly disapointed. Sometimes they just need an extra week to finish off. It won't kill a guy. I don't think anyone is telling him what to do, just giving him some helpfull info. Goodluuck Rad!

 

[RAD]

Ive got a "gut" feeling i should cut them down on sunday by the way they are looking now!!...As for the loss in weight..I guy can wish .lol.
I checked the trichs there fully cloudy!

Thanks For all the replys guys!!!..This place ROCKS:headbang2:

Calm down, trichs don't disappear even if you think they are. You have a 10 day window even when you think it's time to chop, so you won't mess up by not chopping now. If I was you I would water them 1/3 the usual amount and do the 72 hour DARK period then CHOP. They will PUMP OUT even more resin and LOSE less weight in your drying period.

 

[alaskabud]

The 72 hour dark method WORKS. I do it every grow.
