I am setting up my tent to harvest the plants in the tent. On 3 of them I seen some amber trichomes yesterday. Only thing I couldn't tell was if the trichomes I was looking at were on the leaves or buds. My kid was wired and kept running around shaking the plants so I couldn't get a great look. Those plants are pitiful.....but they have had it really rough. The way I am looking at it is this is practice for harvest, drying and curing for the outside plants.
Revs soil recipe is pretty well known, tried and tested. @StoneOtter just posted his version here:
I would say 90 to 95 percent white the other 5 to 10 percent clear or amber.
I have inside plants in a tent too. And my soil is hydrophobic....its hard to tell how much it drinks. I will water it, think all is good and an hour later look at it and there is a puddle under it. As far as sugar leaves or calyxes.....IDK....my hands are so damn shaky I can't tell.
Inside......how do you flash dry?
). Watch it whatever method because they dry really quickly.
I dry it enough to be able to burn in a pipe or bong. It will be harsh, but when you're done coughing it should give you some idea of where the high would be if you harvested thar day.
It appears that most half-way decent dirt soils already have enough phosphorous to handle the plant's needs. Botanists are starting to say that just because the phosphorous is what the plant uses to produce flowers does not mean that a bunch 'more is better'.
The finer ground the bone the faster it breaks down. The smaller the pieces the more total surface area for the micro-organisms to live on, eat and die.
I want to have a little of a variety because everyone likes something different. I am a lightweight and hate couch lock so the least ripe will probably be what I prefer. My husband likes a little body buzz but not to the point of couch lock so I am guessing he will like it with a few ambers.
I'm keeping up with the thread. Personally I'm using fox farms with great results. Outside I was feeding once a week. Before planting I dug out holes where I was planting and mixed cow manure and compost in with just the basic expert garden soil. A lot of sand clay and rocks here. Blended it. Making a sort of raised beds. Clay is being built up around the rim of my whole. Might as well use what I'm digging out to my benefit. Inside I'm switching to hydroponics. Doing a basic dwc and I'm loving the difference. Coco coir has been a rough time figuring out how to mix it well enough to not kill root growth.
You can depending on your night time temps. You will also have to deal with a higher chance of bud rot and pests, but the light-schedule aspect is in your favor.
When you harvest, cloudy to amber, is more of a subtle but noticeable fine tuning dial. Strain is the big factor on how it hits. It dose sound like you want to go easy on the ambers.
