Har! Good way to figure when to harvest
Friday update is all about the Bedroom Cookies 2.2 trichomes, on day 47. And a hawk.
Let's scroll through trichome pics. (By the way, my old phone took much better closeups, because this new one has a wide angle lens built in, which sucks! I somehow can't find my old phone though...maybe my son sold it for weed funds.)
I noticed a lot of the outer trichomes don't have heads on them. I guess that's from dragging them through the shed door twice a day.
In terms of harvest, I'm thinking next weekend rather than this, unless anyone thinks that would be too long.
And a hawk:
...hanging out on the telephone pole in my backyard. There were two of them but one was shy and stayed in the pine tree.
The weekend can't come soon enough, even though without a harvest there won't be much to do but water. I hope you have a great one planned!

Thanks Bard! Nah, he'd have to give it to you himself
A wide angle lens starts off by making everything look further away than it is, which is something you definitely don't want with macro pics! My old pics were much sharper and more magnified. I really wish I knew where that old phone went...
I also concur with the next weekend harvest decision
I still see a few clear ones there. And remember that we get more amber outside just becasue of the action of the sun on the trichs, so dont sweat it too much if the ambers seem to ramp up. Since I learned about that (from the GFM gurus) I only really look at clear:cloudy ratios outside, and other signs... like a general look and feel of ripeness 
I did have thoughts at the time I remember, but was too fatigued to post. It’s certainly a phenomena if there was a pheno-drift in the clone
Not something I’ve ever heard of happening so quickly. I’ve heard of genetic drift over time in clones, as they adapt to an environment, but that’s not what’s happening here. ALthough, there’s a cut of Bubba Hash floating around some of the stateside Brix growers that is expressing differently in different peoples’ gardens, but again - that’s not the case here as the environs are the same... although season is different. Any difference in the veg lighting arrangement?guess that's from dragging them through the shed door twice a day.
most likely. Can you bind them up temporarily while you schlep?
I remember reading (you? Sue?) that the potency of the CBN is lower than the potency of the THC it degrades from (from which it degrades
), so even you had 15% THC you don't end up with 15% CBN from the degraded trichomes. I won't sweat the amber gained this week because there's nothing I can do about it anyway!Thanks for taking the energy to go back, rethink, and post your response to that! Since both of the first plants ended up looking very similar at harvest (here and here), there are two things I can think of that would distinguish this from the first grow.
.Okay, I'll try to remember!
Perfect! I'll put it in my phone's calendar.
) so it’s certainly possible. That Bubba cut I mentioned is expressing differently first time grown in some new gardens. (FYI that’s not the Bubba I have currently - mine is from seed)
You could always run another test at the time you choose one over the other. It’s likely some time away. Although not if everyone loves to smoke it I guess! Or you could get someone to do a controlled test once these ones are done to compare the 3 batches (one each of these and the combined previous run). Might not be needed tho’. I’d say choose the more obviously indica pheno (for ease of growth) and keep on... never look back!
) and when I finally move on to a harvest of just that plant, I can have the oil tested again.
