My First Time Growing

Dennise said:
Smoke I need pics in natural light... with out the Leds... I can't tell a thing about their health in the pink light... I don't like the way the leaves are all droopy if it has been a day since you watered they should have picked up but when you can get me a pic without the Leds on and let me see if I can help you figure out what is going on.....:circle-of-love:

Thanks Dennise, As soon as I can get some help, I will have my helper move the plant into regular light, I almost tried last night before lights out, but am just worried I'd hurt myself if I lift it. So, since it's a Saturday, my helper won't be up for a while but as soon as I can do it, I'll take some pics and post them. Thanks again!
 
I was surprised, My helper got up already and I asked him to give me a hand and I got these 2 pic's taken. This is the Truthband that was put in the tent on 4/20. Besides some yellow leaves and droopiness it also leans to one side real bad. I haven't had a plant do this so I'm a little baffled as to what's going on. Well, here's the pic's:

Sorry the pic's aren't real clear, but I'm saving to get a new camera and may hopefully be able to get it soon. When I checked it today, the water is still full according to the Soil Master moisture detector which is no surprise since I watered her yesterday. I'm also going to try to get some sort of a pole I can use to help her stand straight if I can find something.

That girl looks amazing to me... She is falling to one side cause her flowers are so heavy...:yahoo:.. And I think it is just getting close to time to chop... Have you checked your trichromes..:confused: I think the yellow is just finishing up of the plant....:high-five:...:circle-of-love:

She is FULL of trich's! I can see how frosty she looks here with the naked eye, but can't get the Kindle to get a good closeup even with the magnifying glass (So far it's been impossible to get a pic thru the loupe with the Kindle). The flowers are mostly brown now with a bunch of reddish pistols that are almost all curled in. Since you think she's getting close to the end I just cut a small test bud and will try it after it's dried out. I also put a pole like stick to help her stand. I'm very happy to know it's probably just getting close to harvest and not the plant dying. Thank You so much Dennise!
 
Truthband looks sweet.
At 59 days since put in the flowering room, her leaves are a good enough color and she is near or at harvest.

Emerald Seeds Truthband says 56-63 days, Humboldt Seeds 707 Truthband says about 70 days.

Although I love pictures, what is your impression of the trichomes? Clear and Sparkly? Cloudy and Frosty? Cloudy sprinkled with amber?

Did you oven dry your test bud? Odds are, harvest time will come before they air dry :)

Thanks Radogast, She is a 707 Truthband, so probably about another 10 days since last month had 31 days, I was so disappointed with Casey and Minnie, I want to be sure this one is done before I chop, especially since the Truthband is the first actual name brand seed I've tried. I got lucky with Harley as she kicked my butt when I smoked her and really helped the pain unlike the last 2 but those 3 were The bag seeds I started with, So who knows what they came from. The trichs are all over and they appear cloudy and frosty with reddish threads in the bud. The one thing I'm still not sure of is when you say amber, Is that the trichs or threads in the bud? But I don't see anything that looks yellow which is what I picture when someone says amber.

I put the test bud on top of the little Mars light because it is a warm place. I checked it just now and it's almost dry. But if it wasn't, I was planning on using the oven like you guys said to do it.
 
O.K., I tried my test bud earlier and WOW! I've never smoked weed so smooth, so tasty and kicked my back pain's butt! My back pain feels so much better, Thank you guys so much!!! This is what I hoped for all along. All of you guys and PJ have helped me get to a safer, more organic & strong pain reliever instead of the narc's. I am so impressed, now I just have to keep myself from taking test buds constantly:thedoubletake:. This stuff tasted so good, I would smoke it just for the flavor even, and this is just the first name brand weed I've ever tried! I have more growing to try and will be happy if they are even half as good at tamping down my pain level. I have a lot of great plants in my future hopefully and can't wait to get to all of it, the growing, the getting to try each one. I owe it all to you guys that have helped me!! My confidence in growing is getting stronger and hopefully I'll be able to pay this forward even more than what little I've been able to so far (Not much, not a whole lot of confidence in my own growing before). Hope nobody minds if I stick around a long time on :420:, because I'm not going anywhere!



Thank You!!

Amber = red... Tips of the trichromes... Not the threads going through the bud....:circle-of-love:

Thank you Dennise, I was just never sure about that part. The trich's on her are real frosty and sparkly but shows no color on them. I will be able to order a camera soon, so this will be easier again. Sorry
 
I took pic's of all my plants in veg and either later or tomorrow, depending on when my helper gets home and can give me a hand lifting the girls in flower into natural light for the pic's. First up is the Amnesia clone 2. Sorry about the crappy pic's. I also have 1 seedling so far and she is a WW x MK and is just a sprout, forgot to snap that one

Next is the Delicious Crital Suer Silver Haze

Sorry about the crappy photo's, But using the Kindle to take pics is a pain. BTW, the first 2 pic's doesn't really show them well, but here they look good off camera. Hopefully I will get the camera I ordered soon. The phone is the Tracfone Huawei H868C Prepaid Cell Phone and I just hope it does the trick.

It's worth a shot... Make sure you use a sterile razor to scrap the sides and just enough to take off the very thin top layer....:circle-of-love:

I just took a few cuttings and used a steak knife (ginsu, lol) to scrape the sides. I got what looked like the shavings you get when peeling a cucumber, just much smaller. I still don't have rooting gel, so I used the powder again. Fingers crossed again. :thumb:

Jimmie, Is there anyway you can get a jet of water to spray on the stalk bottom (or side apparently)? I really think that's why mine grow such great roots. Off the top of my head I don't know how to accomplish it, But if you could get a strong jet of water to hit it I bet it would cut your time down to 7-10 days (I had one done after 5 days). Sorry I'm not more help.....

Not really, Smoke. I have a bubble cloner so it's just random bubbles that spit water up at the stems.

That's great to hear, Smoke! :welldone:

Sorry I replied so many times... I haven't been online in a few days... I should have read through and caught up first, and replied once. :oops:

This is what I like to hear! One of my greatest hopes when I started my indoor grow was for smoooth smoke. I just love to hear it.

Great news!

Are ya OK with the look of Amber trichs? Sometimes they dont change much in color just go from clear to cloudy.
Trichs are so small and I love to look at them.
I do sample small buds as they get close in an effort to time the bigger buds, i sux at waiting, i really do. And the smoke isn't even for me it is for my Mrs. ......... Tehehehe

FYI, you may have already seen this..
