They've been flowering for about 2 months now my Skunk #1, they started outdoor in a green house but the lack of UK summer made me bring them in to my 250w compact set up + IONIC nutrient solutions.

What is the general condition looking like?
How far off harvesting do you think they are?

I have them on a 12/12 and a small fan circulating air. I've just ordered a Loupe to see the Trichome as from the naked eye its seems clear so not much THC.

Anyone ever use Loupe 30x mag?


Deliberating which to purchase, there is also the 100x LED Microscope




or the RadioShack Pocket Illuminated Microscope 60 - 100x Magnification


Any suggestions welcome. ]]> Harvesting, Drying and Curing CoolYourBoots http://www.stonerforums.com/lounge/harvesting-drying-curing/18072-microscope-loupe-viewing-trichome-color.html http://www.stonerforums.com/lounge/harvesting-drying-curing/17977-8th-week-flower-power.html Sun, 01 Nov 2009 17:44:04 GMT Okay sweet,

Harvest is right around the corner for me. This is my first grow and i'm really excited about the end drawing near.

I don't have a pocketscope yet and not sure if I'll even buy one.

I'll post pictures tonight when I get done slammin' a few back. ]]> Harvesting, Drying and Curing JustGute http://www.stonerforums.com/lounge/harvesting-drying-curing/17977-8th-week-flower-power.html http://www.stonerforums.com/lounge/harvesting-drying-curing/17560-do-i-need-flush-if.html Tue, 20 Oct 2009 23:38:09 GMT 6 weeks into flower seems like almost all the leafs have gone from dark green to pale believe there eating N up losing alot of leafs not just fan... 6 weeks into flower seems like almost all the leafs have gone from dark green to pale believe there eating N up losing alot of leafs not just fan either.

It smokes good, it tastes awesome, but it smokes too fast and it's crispy :( I just clipped/crunched off all the excess leaves today and put the bud in a plastic bag. Does anyone have and suggestions for rehydrating it? I've heard orange peels work, but I don't know how/how many/etc. there is about 1.7 ounces in a 1 gallon zip lock bag if that helps. Thanks!

Last week I got my plants trimmed down and I was ready to start drying. I have a loft and for the last 7 days the weather has been nice and pretty warm. The buds have been doing great, the drying seems to go pretty quick - of course nothing lasts forever and last night we had a lot of rain and the pass two days the weather has been cold and same goes for the loft. I went to on my weed and it seems as if the buds are a getting a bit damp? Does the low temperature affect the drying process in a bad way? If yes, what should I do?

The months of work shouldn't have been for nothing!

Thanks. ]]> Harvesting, Drying and Curing Nof http://www.stonerforums.com/lounge/harvesting-drying-curing/16959-how-does-temp-affect-buds.html http://www.stonerforums.com/lounge/harvesting-drying-curing/16672-1-2-oz-weed-not.html Sat, 26 Sep 2009 16:32:10 GMT So there is ~ half a zip of bud that looks like high-grade outdoor, but it does not seem fully cured out. The aroma is not developed (smells "green") and the smoke is harsh. The outside of the buds do not seem particularly wet which suggests someone may have used a dehumidifier (I hate it when people go through the trouble to grow good genetics and then rush the cure!!!).

If the center of the buds not fully cured, what would one do to get the most out of this weed? 1) brown bag it in a closet 'til dry, 2) leave in mason jar and air out for an hour a day, or 3) other suggestions?

Thanks for your help. ]]> Harvesting, Drying and Curing Azure_Cloud http://www.stonerforums.com/lounge/harvesting-drying-curing/16672-1-2-oz-weed-not.html
