lol, I just watched some auto flowers last season, pretty neat experience to see, as they just do shit on their on, but, the part I REALLY DON'T like about them is the fact that you can not clone them, kind of blows really,
I mean, they are useful if you need a fast crop before frost or something, but
As for how much they produce and the cost of them, I think I'll be sticking to my Regular Fem Seeds.
I can't complain about the weed from the auto flower, smoke was pretty nice, just the prices and fact that you can't clone them is a huge drawback IMO, which is why I won't go with them. I like being able to grow a huge mother plant and take clone after clone and make little clone armies. LoL.
Got a question about my plants
Since trichs look some what like Mushrooms to me , I'll try to explain this in a way someone will be able to understand and help me out.
Okay,well, to me, a trichome under 60-100X magnification looks like a stem, with a ball on top, well, Most of my trichs are milky white, but that milky white only goes half way up the 'ball' on top of the 'stem' , So the stem is milky white, and the round top is only half milky white, while, the amber trichs are completely amber, (I'd say there about 10% clear, 70% Milky white and about 20% amber, now, this is pretty much what I was aiming for but Im confused about the trichs milky color not covering the entire trich , are they ready for harvest, or should I wait? Everything looks pretty good, The plants calyx are swollen, Idk, I know its difficult for anyone to answer without pics, but , if someone could explain what to look for, or if its alright to chop, or wait a bit more. Id appreciate it.
-edit-
Looked at them again tonight Most trichs are cloudy white, Some of them are just completely the color of milk, and some are just partially cloudy/milky color. Then there were about , Id say more or less 15-20 % of amber, trichs, 5% clear, and the rest milky, or partially milky. I looked at them under the flourecents in the kitchen rather than looking at them under the HPS...
I was wondering, Should I just let the soil dry out, and then cut them and hang them in the dark? or.... Pierce the stem with something and leave it in there (heard that creates a small ammount of more resin), anywho , plants looks pretty good to me, I want to cut them, trim them, and take pics, but I heard waiting for the soil to get extra dry before yanking them is what most of the people I know around here do. Idk
Any advice is appreciated....
Im so excited to get the bud and trim/cut it, but Im so sad to have to kill my babies </3.
Oh decisions.
Yeah, Ill try to get a few shots before I take them out, Want me to wait for my g/fs camera, or use my camera, lol
Thanks for the quick reply also, and I'd have to say, my g13 was the most beautiful plant I've ever seen, its got reds and purples and ah, I love it, ill try to get pictures of the colors on the plant because POP out at ya. Most of the other plants look a little goofy as all of their leaves have yellowed due to the plant using the nitrogen (I believe thats what causes it right?)
Anyways, Ill take a few tonight, see how they look, and if they dont turn out good, Ill post some from the clearer camera tomorrow evening.
