Thanks! It was really hard to try to get tricome pics as the sun was so bright I couldn’t see the screen well. I’ll try to get some better ones tonight.

I understand it being hard to see whats what, lol. Try to focus on the actual bud itself, the leaves dont tell the same story as the bud itself.

Like the others wrote, you look really close! With the heat each day, you will need to look a couple times a day. When this close and in the heat, they can become ‘prime’ in hours.

Personally, I would trim some of the fan leaves that are covering ny bud sites so the next week they take advantage of the sun before harvest.

Thanks everyone. Got a few more pics this morning. Boy it’s hard holding everything and trying to get good pics!! Thinking about harvesting this afternoon, what do you think? My next day off is Wednesday so if it can wait until then it would be better!

I see some milky, some clear? On a few of the pics it looks like some amber. Looking for a uplifting effect in this one, but would like to have some pain relief as well. This is my first attempt growing Tangerine Dream but it’s always been one of my favorite strains.

Me, personally, would wait a day or two until there are less clear ones.

Thanks so much! That would work best for my schedule anyways so that’s perfect. I hate having to rush the trim.

I’ve tried growing a male outside but the heat killed it and the pests. :unamused:
Have you had issues with pests?

A bit hard to explain but if you have a jewelers loupe. I like to open it up and line up the lense with my camera then I tape the cover in place. It holds the loupe still. I’ll attach a pic soon.IMG_20210913_194305863

I snipped off a very small piece of bud so I could bring it in for better photos. It was too hard to hold still enough, even with the loupe taped onto my phone. I’m still seeing a lot of clears on the buds themselves, so guess I have a ways to go yet.



If it was me you were asking, yes. I had thrips in veg and used spinosad once and it took care of them. I’ve have been spraying BT once a week prophylactically as I am seeing lots of moths, and from the FB groups I see lots of people having bud worm problems. I also had a Durban Poison with what I believe was fusarium wilt. I harvested the remaining branches early and will try to make bubble hash with them.

I am growing in my guest room closet. I have 10 plants, 3 of which are in flower. ( Those seeds were autoflower) Waiting for the smaller ones to get a little taller then will force the rest of them to flower. This is my first grow and I am having so much fun with it. Does anyone know of a cannabis group in Tucson area? I would live to know. Re dry climate I don’t have a humidifier and I have to water at least every other day or they are seriously drooping. Compare these two photos of my grow. You can see they are much happier after the watering. Very dry here, it must be hard to grow outside if they get this dry even in my closet.

Watering every other day seems, to me (my opinion only) about normal for Tucson (I live here, too). When my plants are flowering, they take more and, sometimes, I have to give them a little each day. I grow inside and outside.

I am not using a humidifier in any of my tents. I do use one when I have taken cuttings for clones, but that is all.

Im in utah. And i water everyday. They get water or food at night before bed time between 7:30 - 8:30pm. I feed 3 days in a row. Water only for 1 day - flush. And then feed 3 days. I never deviate from this way of feeding.

My outdoor get water everyday on a timer and it changes by time of season. Indoor, usually, they get a little everyday, but, I have been fighting gnats (successfully so far) and trying to let the top of the soil dry a bit in between watering.

Thanks for the info on your nutrient cycle. Can you tel me the numbers please?
