Help PLEASE 1st time grower plant 70in tall and been flowering for 11.5 weeks.

Buds look healthy lots of brown stigmas forming, but also loads of fresh white stigmas coming through. How long do these white ones keep growing for, when do we harvest.?

Taken a bud in week 11 of flowering and it smells and tastes very bitter/citrus.

Will running on plain ph adjusted water ( no nutrients) for a week before harvest get rid of this ?????

Hardly surprising if it was dryed in 0.5 of a week

Oh yeah, any more info - strain, set up etc Get a magnifier in on the trichs. Pistils (stigmas) are not a great guide.

how long and ow should you dry buds out for, i read leaving in cool room with draft is bst?

cheers dude, bought indoor mix feminised seeds, so strain unknown, but i know my weed and it dont taste right
set up 1 plant 400w estoteric hydropod flood and drain

what are trichs??

bud takes 3 to 4 weeks to dry.
the bud you are growing might very well taste damn good.

in case of unknown bagseed, and considering it has been flowering 11.5 weeks...do this >

stop ferting .. just plain water will do.
reset timer to 10 /14 , instead of 12/12

last 3 days just switch off light altogether.

to make your weed cure properly >
hang a line
cut off whole plant
hang upside down.
turn on oscillating fan ( dont aim fan directly at plant)

do not touch while drying
preferably do not remove a sinle leaf or bud , any harm don e to the plant aside from cutting off main stem at harvest is unnessacery stress..which will result in lesser taste
cuz you got a sativa-ish plant i reckon 3 weeks is enough drying time

pure indicas take 4 weeks

Have a read at this mate

One thing I wouldnt do is to leave your bud for 3 days without light if your ventilation cant keep the humidity down to 40%.Plus your temps want to be kept around 65degrees

Couple doing that and hanging a full plant up with all its leaves on is in my mind asking for trouble with budrot

Owd

cheers dude
how long on 10/14 untill turning off light completley?

yeah i forgot mentioning that
in your case i think 5 to 10 days of 10/12 would do fine
