We love our girls chunky!

@Whodat66 I don’t flush plants, so have no answer for that. Otherwise like @MattyBear and @Daddy not looking for couch lock weed either. I’ve just yet to attain 100% cloudy trichs. What I’m not doing is harvesting with much or any clear. If that means being 30% amber as opposed to 10% amber, so be it. I think it’s very reasonable that you can hit 75-80% cloudy with 15-20% amber and less than 10% clear. Even a 50/50 hybrid is plenty racy there.

Your plant is going to keep producing trichromes provided you don’t do anything to disrupt it. This is why I’m against doing things to upset uptake. I’ll let them keep putting on weight until I think they’re ready.

I just flushed today at 45 days flowering. I plan to harvest between the 9th-15th. I’d like to possibly go longer but bud rot is slowly destroying my grow.
Banner from the outside looks like it has a ways to go, but trichomes are turning orange here and there on the bud

Skywalker og looks farther along, but has no orang trichomes on the bud, just the sugar leaves


It’s part science, part intuition.

Outside is a completely different ballgame. We can’t control Mother Nature. Sometimes you have to harvest early due to weather or rot outside. Indoors, you don’t see that as often and can allow plants to get to full maturity. I don’t fault any outdoor grower for having to harvest early to salvage their plants :v:

I really wish all those winner pics above had been tagged w strain. Many like myself are probably here to determine what to buy and use these as examples. It’s only helpful when I can tell the strain!

Thank you! Two I’ve been drooling over. I have 5 of GSCE at 3rd set of leaves under a 4 bar T5. Gonna try them under spyderX plus in 707 organic mixed w sunshine 4 and perlite in 20 gal super root air equivalent pots with full AN line, and CO2. Double topped, LST, and scrogged. 6 week veg as we have a 2 mature plant limit here. Gonna break 2.0 lb per light dammit.

@Loki I have tried to edit the post giving the strains but I guess you only have so long before you can’t edit your post. I’ll post another list but with the strains added soon.

Thanks so much! Amazing stuff! Especially interested in the GSCE cause it’s inspiration for mine! But I’m sure before long I’ll try all. I’m loving ILGM. Mine came in 4 days and 100% popped. One struggled(my fault) but righted. Rest straight queens! As I was asked below, yes, Vermont!

Been a long time, but my father and I used to kill it with “medijuana” from AMS. I’m hoping these GSCE are as good but with more yield. That’s a high bar. They were stellar. But I have faith! More so thanks to all your pics!

There’s been a flurry of Vermonters since July. :+1:

Lot of ski bums from rich families that grabbed clones of Durban, Hindu Kush, NL, WW, and etc from Humbolt and Amsterdam. We’ve always been a Mecca w top quality. But now we’re set to get really real!

Funny, I smoke so I can deal with the rich ski bums. The weed has been pretty stellar around here for quite a while.

I hear that. I’m not one. None of us long historied natives are. But I dated their sisters and smoked their herb and hung out w them. Only difference was I had to work. Has anyone yet done a journal under a SpyderX plus or shall I be the first?
