Forest Gump Is Growing!

The trichomes are the sugary looking bits on the buds/flowers and on what are called "sugar leaves" on the flowers. Not good for smoking, but good for edibles, tinctures, and the like. (ETA: for clarity - the sugar leaves are not good for smoking)
 
The leaves are called sugar leaves. Their fan leaves that the bud grows into and then collects crystal (trichomes)

I am sure trying brother!!...My routine: In the am unzip the tent door 1/2 way to control heat...In the pm before lights out, zip up almost closed for the night because of the air conditioning. Next day...do it all over again. I know it isnt scientific, but it has worked for me....somehow. How the fuck am I getting this lucky???

It’s all about getting into a rhythm, and it sounds like your doing it perfectly! :thumb:
 
I HAVE been using Grow Big from my Fox Farms trio as a foliar spray. I have seen a difference. I mist them twice a day. I know there are specific foliar feeders out there, but I trusted my instincts and it seems to have worked for me. Defoilated today...about a gallon bag of lower big fan leaves, but left plenty on. I just try to never go overboard.

Yes..I really do seem to be getting a rhythm here. I have got to the point where I do not actually measure the nutrients with a teaspoon...just glance at the feeding chart and pour a bit from the diff bottles, depending on which girl I am feeding. I always go a little light though. I did notice a teeny bit of burn maybe at the tips of the fan leaves, so that told me next time (in my feeble mind) use only water next time.

My biggest dream? See my main girl fill out and show my buddy in Oklahoma that a hillbilly can grow a huge bud too!! But I will be happy with what she does since I just started!

That dream isn’t far fetched at all, :thumb: 100% do-able!!
 
Ok guys, had to stake the girl up and gently, loosely used zip ties for support!! Have a new scope, so it is just a countdown now!! They ALL are simply sexy!!

Aw shucks...thank you. I have quite a sea of buds going on right now! I have struggled with temps the past couple days. Have had to recharge my central air a few times because of a leak. Good thing I have the gauges and 25 lbs of refrigderant!! I need to pull the A coil off and do a minor brazing job, but hard to do in this heat. Aww...the struggles of being a grown-up!! I have a few spare window air conditioners, and some stand alones, but they look tacky in a window. Might have to put them in for one day to make the repair if I can find the time.
 
So anyway, with my new scope, I see clear trichomes. No cloudiness thus far. Hard part is holding it still, because my hands get shaky! I think maybe, just maybe all will turn out well for my first try! The curing part worries me, but oh well. From what I have read I should flush with no nutes a week or so before harvest? Seems everyone has a diff opinion sometimes.

Yeah I find it hard to hold still enough as well, as soon as I get a good view I lose my footing or something and lose the entire leaf I was looking at lol

Flushing, Yeah that seems to be a hot topic right now.

I try to rest the loupe somewhere on my face because I've got really shaky hands too. I'll press it against the side of my nose or up against my brow to help keep it from shaking.

Totally relatable!

A pic of a later staged plant that is stretching out way above my most mature, soon to harvest one. SHE excites me!...reaching for the sky and filling out quite nicely!!!! They are all so cool, and different attitudes!!!! She smells way different...like peachy tangerine..lol..and freaking sticky.

I clipped a sugar leaf off so I could lay it on the counter and hold still enough to look at it. Bout half of the trichomes are milky. Buds are ok, wanted bigger, but it IS my first try. Think I will wait until all are cloudy and just a few ambers before I do anything. I don't want to go all amber and have couchlock. Hope I am right. They are nice and frosty though!! Suggestions will not hurt my feelings.
