Trala’s Tent

So we have a plant called A Bird of Paradise. It’s very unique in the way it flowers. It is obviously named that because it looks like a bird. I always thought naming it a bird from paradise was a stretch, coz frankly it looks fucking cRaZY!

So no one ever explained the bird to me, coz I found it super easy to work out. I mean it’s not rocket science... or so I thought.

So I a couple of years ago the flower came up and I was showing someone the very obvious bird, and a girlfriend said “whaaaa, no it’s not! Look!“. So embarrassing.

I saw it your way too. Kinda like Woody Woodpecker…
 
Love those flowers!
 
Cool plant though. And what’s that red leafed thingy?
Im 67% sure it starts with a C. A Croatian or something. I’m going to buy my spring herbs and flowers next week I’ll ask my nursery guy :)
 
Omg this day can’t end soon enough.

It has been so awful. I tried to have a post work snooze, and my neighbours decided today would be a good day to chainsaw. I could have gone full Texan on them.

I also decide based on zero sleep that today I must perfectly clean my grow room, perfectly sort my wardrobe for spring, perfectly make peanut biscuits, perfectly get glitter shots and lastly try to perfectly make a new salmon dish which involves Moroccan Veggie Bulgur despite me having zero idea what bulgar wheat even fucking is (Pray for me). It’s like I want to push me over the edge! I’m currantly hanging by a thread! :laughtwo: :laughtwo: :laughtwo:

Okay here’s Halle Shiskaberry And WillE Peyote Critical and 106 fucking minutes I’m never getting back. The fact I didn’t smash that stupid loupe shows I’m am finally growing up. I could have hammer smashed it, I really could. Any harvest advice welcome. I really don’t know how to pick the window. I’m chasing a fun music sounds magic stone.

Halle Day 49 of Flower ♥️♥️♥️

WillE vs Halle ♥️♥️♥️

They're definitely getting there. I think WillE looks a little closer to being done than Halle but hopefully, someone else will also chime in to confirm.
 
Nice trichome pics, Trala!
I agree with HashGirl- WillE is a little farther along than Halle, with a few amber trichomes-
My guess would be another week for WilliE, and 10-12 days more for Halle...
So they might both be done pretty close to the breeders estimates...

Thank you both so much. I really have no idea. I can’t even see amber. Maybe I’m colourblind or something. In fact looking at glitter makes me feel queasy it’s like looking at mucus membranes. I think it looks disgusting.

Omg that fucking loupe. I nearly smashed it and I’m not even joking. I think I took over 200 pictures yesterday, I also think I went totally loopy. And as the day went on I just got loopier. Thank God it’s behind me now.
 
Love the Strelitzia
I don't do the trichome loupe thingy, my eyesight is not up to the task
Week or two after the hairs go orange and it looks nicely frosty will do me lol

I don’t know what that is, a strelizia.

I have a plug in to computer loupe thingy - or useless stupid bastard as I call it (USB for short).

I think the hairs have been orange for weeks. I am not 100% though. I need to watch these things more carefully. I will next grow. Hey question are those orange hairs mature white hairs, the hairs you first see when they go into flower?

Your Bird of Paradise flower is Strelitzia
No, I mean white bud flowers that have stopped growing and started ripening the buddy bit thing
But yes, the orange flowers are matured white pistils
I think I may be disadvantaged dry refreshment-wise and I blame @skunksa

Omg is it? LOLLLINGGGGGGG I swear I learn something new every day. If only I retained it, I be a genius.

Oiii do you know what the red speckled leaf one is. I think it starts with C.

So orange hairs are the equivalent to grey pubes. The price you pay for ageing. LOLLLLLLLL
 
And HG I’m going to buy a book today and log my growths properly like you do so I can gauge top time Flower time etc.

Hi Trala.

My good friend, Amy Gardner (Do you know Amy? She's in Australia, too. ;) ) suggested keeping a clipboard in the grow room and make notes on it while I'm working, i.e. jot down everything I'm doing and to which plants. When it's time for me to post an update on 420, I transcribe my notes into a spreadsheet where I track everything, e.g. how much water they each took that week, how tall they are, which nutes and how much, days in veg, days in flower, etc. Well, you know. You've seen my updates. The first photo is always of part of one of my spreadsheets.

Thank you both so much. I really have no idea. I can’t even see amber. Maybe I’m colourblind or something. In fact looking at glitter makes me feel queasy it’s like looking at mucus membranes. I think it looks disgusting.

I didn't see any amber yet on either of them. You're probably good for a few more weeks. Does your client want an uplifting strain or a sedative strain? You want amber for sedative. Most growers (from what I've seen) go for about 10% amber trichomes.

Omg that fucking loupe. I nearly smashed it and I’m not even joking. I think I took over 200 pictures yesterday, I also think I went totally loopy. And as the day went on I just got loopier. Thank God it’s behind me now.

If you can't do the loupe and you can't do the microscope (Why can't you use it?), you could always take zoom in with your phone camera and after you take the pic, enlarge it to see if you can see the trichomes more easily.
