My average length of an autoflower grow is 90 days. I think you still have a few weeks left, maybe even a month. I still see a lot of clear trichomes.

Thanks Hashgirl, when I took that pic everything in me said “overcooked” and I’m not even joking.

I almost cut her yesterday but mentally held myself steady lol.

Great plants and great photography Trala :)
I harvest mine a little earlier than most but I do wait until the blob on the end of the trichomes is swollen til it looks like it's gonna burst, and what Bill says - there's no (well, a few) white pistils by then

Thank you Growings.

I took some pics of my Cleo the Wedding Cake and even I went “omfg” when I reviewed them. I think my pics are defs getting a bit better, despite Deeve’s glitter shaming lol. I really enjoy photographing them tbh. It always takes me at least 10 takes to find 1 I’m happy with.

A bit of a funny, you know how I’m a bit ocd. Well I had to make a second bud photo booth coz my Chode reign is embarking on a new and exciting Dirk Diggler era.

Wtf is a white pistil? I swear this is the first time I’m hearing of it!
 
:woohoo:
 
Lovely update :yummy:, love the kingfisher too!

don’t even know what white pistils even means lol.

Pistils are those 2 white "feathery" things that
start appearing when the plant starts flowering- they're the part of the flower that catches pollen- they start out white, and they'll turn brown as they age.
As long as new white pistils are showing up, the bud is still growing, so you don't want to harvest yet.
Once no more (or very few) new pistils are appearing, and almost all of the older ones have turned brown, then it's time to start looking at the trichomes.
You know when you see the little "pom-poms" on a flowering plant? Those pompoms are made up of white pistils...

Another Wooo Hooo! I have had the best day! I bought tickets to George Ezra (YouTube the song Paradise - it literally makes me big smile every time I hear it) and I’m so happy! He made up a big chunk of my 2019-2020 musical listening, and I’m buying tickets to see The Offspring tomoz. I loved them in the 90’s. Just quietly if Biffy Clyro and Live tour at some point this year all will be forgiven when it comes to Covid-19 lol.

I’ve made lamb shanks for dinner. I’ll take a pic coz it’s another recipe you might like :)

Oh Scooby! Scooby, Scooby, Scooby. If an overthinker could stop overthinking just coz they were told not to overthink medication companies would go out of business. LOLLINGGG!

Me: stop overthinking

Also me: Ok, I’m not going to overthink because overthinking is wasting my life. There are many things I could be thinking, like thinking about not overthinking. I wonder how many hours I’ve spent overthinking? Why do I overthink? Am I overthinking now? Is this overthinking? Am I overthinking thinking? Omg I bet I ruin my buds…

Omg they are still appearing. I just knocked a stack of them off Blue last week, not even joking. They grow down below on her legs, not legs, you know where the plant frame is. I hate seeing new growth down there and I nip them off.

Why was I Today Years Old when I finally retained this? I’m so annoying! Lol!

I can’t believe I never put these basic pieces together!

So Thursday nights a great night for football, dinner is done, bf is invested in the Tigers vs Port Adelaide, so I thought I’d tell you a story. Lol.

So I made lamb shanks tonight. Fun fact I can proper cook, but I want to tell you a secret about tonight’s meal. So I made slow cooked shanks, but not in a slow cooker. I hate slow cookers. They rob a meal of an authentic taste and just ruin great recipes, well I think they do. Except for silverside. They do a good silverside.

So tonight I made a never fail red wine slow cooked shank, but it’s the roasting tin I want to share with you. So back in the day when I was a drug addict, we used to drive to affluential suburbs and steal from their LifeLine bins, they are a charity bin. The irony is not lost. I really was the shit on your shoes. I stole what the rich were giving to the poor. I basically stole from me. Anyhoo, in one of our many dives I found (stole) this oven dish. It always shocked me how that demographic threw away such good stuff. The baking dish has stayed with me for 30+years.

When I cook with it it reminds me of who I was, who I am now, and who I want to be. It is easily one of my most treasured kitchen items.

I don’t know why, but I just wanted to share that shameful piece of me with you.

Here’s my shanks. They really are the best. And here’s my baking tray, rusted out handle and all. Lolling
 
From that banged up old pot with a history comes a meal fit for royalty! I AM THAT POT. :love:

BIG SMILING!

I am too! Literally from head down and legs out living in the trash bin, to living a life that’s decent. Well semi decent ;) lollllllll

I made a choice that will haunt me today. It’s -200 degrees centigrade here, and I had a choice, wear make up to work or go in naked faced and spend an extra 25 minutes in bed. I chose bed. This means I’m going to have to spend the bulk of my day assuring my colleagues I don’t have the Monkey Pox, and this is just what my face looks like.

LOL!
When I was around 15 years old I was at a friends house and he was having breakfast. His older sister came down and I did not recognize her! I had no clue who this person was - she had no makeup on. It took me a few minutes of hearing her voice to realize it. I'm a little slow. She was so mad at me! I felt really bad. I knew her well and thought she was very pretty, but had never seen her without makeup on.

Pro Tip:
If you are dating a girl, take her swimming so you can see what she really looks like.

Awwwwww. I think it’s sooooooo cute that you think mere water can remove Estée Lauder Colorstay foundation and waterproof eye make up LOLLLLLLL

I feel for you guys tho. You have to stay ugly. Us women have options. I remember a girlfriend saying there is no such thing as an ugly woman, just poor. It’s so true. With make up, hair, spanx, perfume and a nice pair of shoes I go from a 3 to a solid 6. And if you drink enough I can achieve an easy 8 ;)

The only smoke and mirrors you blokes have on that surface level is cologne. Sucks to be you.

L O L L I N G !
