PAWs hempy buckets afghani & sadhu

Sadhus are not drinking that much. pots were quite heavy compared to afgani.some thricomes were milky. Dont no the ratio but around 50%. i need a better magnifying glass.

I was thinking to drop the ec 0.5 clearly there is no huge need for nutes. sadhus seem more swollen than afga. now is day 52 from sexing and day 58 from switching 12/12. couple of weeks. my goal is to have quite a lot of amber thricomes.

Gave them milder nutes 0.55ec and followed mandalas istructions to chech buds atleast 2weeks before harvest. no mold! :D watered them also little less. basically everything ok. tricome situation afgani leadind about half milky.sadhus 25% milky. shitty magnifier but did the job..

If the sadhus have stopped drinking, they may force you to harvest whether you think they're ready or not.
 
Took my self a little taste the other day. Been drying 2days. Looking really forward to it. Didn take enough to sample each plant so mixed those two nuggets. Hopefully gives a good idea what sadhu is all about.

Ps. this was filling post. need 50 to have more than 1 private message ;D do not punish me :D

Here, then, I'll give you another reason to make another post...

I'm currently growing Sadhu right now, too, and I only got 2 females, both of which are different phenos. One is shorter, and smells more like musky tropical fruit than the taller one, which has more sativa looking leaves, and not much of a smell yet. Do either of these phenos sound like what you got? If so, does it look like your taller one will be the keeper, or are you leaning toward the shorter one?

Reason I ask is the shorter one looks beautiful, and I want that one to be the keeper, but the taller one seems to be producing more weight. I'm only on day 29 of flowering though, so it's hard to know.

Any thoughts? (yay for increasing your post count!)
 
Thanks for supportin my post count. :D

first i thought to reveg taller one (because of the yeild)but she isnt that appealing,mainly the smell. but now it seems that smaller one yeilds better or she is just maturing faster. at the moment (95%sure)im leaning towards the shorter and better smelling sadhu,sweet,candy,melon. if there isnt big/huge difference in smoke i will go with the smellier one. Its hard to tell for sure at this point. i would go quality over quantity.

Hope this helps. i should have taken bigger sample from each one.

"sweet candy melon"

Yep, we have the same "short pheno." Well that actually is helpful, because it confirms what my intuition is telling me... Which is that the shorter one just might end up being the better one. We just entered week 5 today and I'm starting to see the short one really pack on the weight, and it's still staying nice and squat. It also looks like it will finish first. The smell on it is phenomenal, and the shape is beautiful. The tall one seems like it would prefer to have grown into a tree under full sun in the outdoors, instead of being cooped up in my tent.
 
Glad it was helpful. Smell is indeed very delidious and appealing.

The smoke:joint was too small. but it is relaxing. Pretty much on the body. head stays clean,quite easy to consetrate. nothing can bother,very relaxing.very nice. next time bigger joint.

If you wait til 70 days, I think you'll be at that couchlock state. However, you should also know that a long, proper cure goes a long way towards that result as well. I am smoking weed that's just over a year old right now, and everything is amber, when it wasn't at harvest. Granted, these are outdoor-grown plants I'm smoking, but still, they had plenty of milky trichomes at harvest is my point.

I'm not saying... well, then again why not? It's not quite as potent as it was 6mos ago, but still, it smokes pretty damn nicely. Grow enough weed and you'll be able to let some cure for at least 2mos.
not stopped but slowd down drinking. what happens if i dont harvest? What do you mean by force to harvest?

-PAW

If they stop drinking, it means they've stopped transpiration. If they've stopped transpiring, that suggests they've stopped growing altogether. In other words, the plant is telling you that it's ready to give up the ghost, stick a fork in it, it's done. Dead. Finito.
 
Thanks Seamaiden. :)

im not much of a curerer. i usually harvest and then month in jar then into freezer.

I have never think/read about this transpiration think.totally new think to me but now afterwards thinkin"ofcourse that how its go" :)

hmmm.. hard to deside when to harvest.. my plan is to reveg smaller sadhu,so i could harvest some at 65 and rest at 70. Then it would be much easier to deside good harvest time next time.

I took a sample from day 61 from switch. it was quite well balanced but bit too much in head ,my opinion. mandalas guide is to check the pistils and harvest before they are all brown. now its about 50/50 brown/white. i think i have to go to 70days to get more bodystone. my growing conditions havent been best possible sometimes too cold ect.. I think that has delayd ripening.

the smoke: i was walking with the dog. first there was"i dont wanna walk" quite clear head,some mild paranoia but thoughts were in my control. dont wanna walk feeling went away and walking was a joy. heighened awereness about surrounding enviroment. stress free walking. after i got home watched tv and bit of a couchlock,could get up if wanted. not very sleepy and conversation was easy. relaxed body. after 2hours i got munchies,didnt want to eat too much,some raisins and peanut and chocolate. I went bed with little hunger,munchies were controllable. Fell a sleep quite quickly. morning:some body hang over,could easyly sleep more but woke up. Felt rested. calm mind good feeling in head. good for depression and maybe for hyperactivity and anxiety.

Afghani day 61 feels considireble( considerably says google translstor) hesvier than sadhu and writing is much harder than usually. this is a couch lock im looking for. shit,should i harvedt this one soon.ive been druuling after sadhus so much that forget this baby,sorry baby!:D much stronger kick than sadhu. both are good. both are GOOOOOOD!

Last post pretty much covers what i tryed to say :dance013: lost my english and it was hard to consentrate.heavy indica stone,bit confusing. i took only 3puffs.

Afghani strenght was around 9 where as sadhu was 7.5.

Sadhu seems quite ready to harvest,85% pistils brown and half amber thricomes. tomorrow day 65 from switch.

How can I tell when to harvest?

The general consensus among growers is that the trichomes don't have to be clear, cloudy or amber in a certain percentage to be ready for harvest. You just have to go on your personal choice of more amber if you require a more couch lock stone, or more clear and cloudy if you require a more heady high. The trichomes are one indication, but even more importantly is watching the flowering growth. Once it makes a significant drop it's time to start harvesting the ripest looking buds/plants. Our harvest dates are a good milestone. We start counting from the day the 12/12 light cycle begins and our flowering times in the strain details are known to be very accurate You should not let your plants flower considerably longer than the times indicated unless you want to increase CBD-CBN% for medical reasons.

Clones tend to ripen faster than seed plants.

Sativas like Satori and Kalichakra can ripen from top to bottom; the flowering parts closer to the light source will be riper than those in the shade for example. Consider harvesting the tops in that case, and letting the light pass through to the other buds so that they can catch up. In progressive harvesting don't wait too long to start with the first batch of harvested buds. If a strain such as Kalichakra has a max. 75 day flowering period you need to deduct at least 5-6 days from this period for the start of your harvest, so that the bottom shoots have time to catch up and are still harvested within the preferred time frame for best THC levels.

We go by bud growth since our strains retain clear/cloudy trichs far into flowering. Our preference is to harvest before flowering comes to a dead end... as in no fresh pistils at all. This retains the balanced high and max.

Laughing my ASS OFF! That shit fu-ucked you up. A few days waiting won't cause any loss of high or weight, IMO.

How long did it fuck you up for? You lost your English? I HATE when that happens to me! (Especially since it's pretty much my only language, I don't speak enough Spanish.)

And yes, the Google translator is correct, the term should be 'considerably.'

Awesomejuice.
