Spliffy. Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Hiya, OK, one of my FDM50/50 ladies is looking rather reddy/browny, at 46 days 12/12. I think they are all meant to be ready between 50-60 days, but having never had a female plant before, I was just wondering if anyone in the know could tell me if this one looks about ready to chop. She's a bit more advanced than the rest, and I don't want to leave it too long and the THC start dying off. Plus I'm feckin' DYING to try my first grow Cheers fellahs and lasses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nav182 Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Hi Spliffy I'm in the same boat mate, except my girls been growing since February and I'm dying to puff. Just nipped a bud off and gonna dry it over night to see if it's ready or not, maybe you could do a quick dry yourself and see what the highs like, just a suggestion?

big ghost Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I would let it go for another week. But take a bud for a tester, looks tasty. BiG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RAZ Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 From what i've read you're supposed to leave them till the pistils are 80% brown.... Looking fine though Spliffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaticOne Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 (edited) Hi spliffy; I totally understand the itchy chopping finger....is so hard to restrain yourself when close to the end! Mate, I'm no expert......but looking at that pic, there seems to be an explosion of new pistils going on there at the top of the bud (not sure if I am seeing it right). If this is the case, leave it for a wee while longer as most plants have a mad burst of fattening up at the end, would be a shame to miss it. But to be really sure....try to view the trichs....even a hand held kids "magnifying bug viewer" was enough for me to see that my trichs had started to turn amber. Good luck (with the will power to wait I mean) EO Edit to add; Fab pic and lovely healthy girl you got there spliffy!

Kafka Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I agree with EO Spliffy Leave the plant for another week and see how it looks. 46 days is a little early to be chopping anything. Just as a comparison here's a shot of my Janis at 39 days. Not quite as many brown pistils as yourself but a fair few anyhow. Was also thinking your plant looks a little like a Blue Widow of mine... - Kafka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spliffy. Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 Thanks very much all OK I've followed the general opinion and chopped the side buds off which should give me a nice 1/4 for the weekend . I've got a 10x jewellers loupe, and I'd say maybe half of the triches are going orange, so aye, a few days yet. Just trying to make a drying box now, but only succeeded in blowing meself up Blue Widow eh? Wicked, nice to put a name to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
