Hello ICM
i got some pics and a question on how to go about
its been almost a week now and comming slowly to the end cycle of my plants...
im reading up on how to trim and dry my plants the best way possible...but thats for later.....
ww at week 4 or 5
begin week 8 now..wish the tops would fatten up a little...
groupshot
the most that worry's me is the time to cut.....when and how....i now its a 80%cloudy 20% amber but it seems that some people induce a 48 hour dark period for there plants to be chopt...i tryed to get a answer in a topic that woz running this week but that woz inconclusiv for me
is that the best way?
dont think im gonne yield mutch but then again its my first grow...
my next strains are growing as we speak
Blue Mystic (Thx to Piefke)
Purple Basterd (Black Rusiian x Double Purple Dojo) thx to my mate jaws
Big Buddah Cheese F2's
i'l be starting a thread in a week or 2 for these strains it should be fun growing them...

hello core 
ahhh dude your doing an outstanding job my friend, hard to belive this is your first grow man.....
your group shot is very impressive indeed for a first timer, you should be worried about nothing at this time....
please do not start worring/tripping on final dry weight dude just focus on completing this grow successfuly and that means making it to harvest.....
keep your mag glass handy for checking the tri-chomes they will tell you when its time, depending on what type of high you want/need....the 48 hour dark cycle is debatable, growers choise in my opinion......
dry hanging and manacuring is very important and you must take the time to do it properly or you could lose the flovor of your bud and also cause it to be some what harsh.....the curing is the last step and the longer the better, but seeing this is your first grow/harvest i doubt you will be able to cure for very long at all....not to fill bad most every one of us had a very short if any cure time with our first harvest.....
you have friends so just ask Question when you have them....the only dumb Question is the one you do not have the answer for!!!!!!.........
sweeeet grow dude
P.S. the cheese f2 are jonnyb's work and he gets full and total credit for that beautie.....

I gave her a nice trim at 8 weeks get the light in behind all those fan leaves.
a other question ......should i prune my plants @ beginning of week 8
just read that some guy pruned his plants (sideleaves) at this week......is this a good way?

hello core
ok buddy where have you been keeping the beautie my friend thats a very nice shot indeed....
at 8weeks if this is not a heavyer sat dom plant then your gonna want to start there final flushing process, at this point you want to wash ALL the ferts out of the soil and let your plant feed on its self....you will know its working because all the greenage will start to turn yellow and die....
the only time i trim when the plant is still in soil is when the fan leaves are blocking a nice bud site, or when there was damage to a leaf for what ever reason....once i chop thatswhen i remove ALL the fan leaves and the larger bud leaves....the ones with resin i keep in a different pile the rest i pitch....
ummm wish you could get a good macro but if you cant your going to need to make the maturety call your self, i would not chop untill atleast 50/50 cloudy/red/amber color......
man again that is one nice plant my friend, just remember you will lose up to 50% of your weight onces you dry, YES I SAID UP TO 50% but still you should get a very nice yield from that one plant.......
it looks like most of your fans leaves have been removed already, so i would just leave her be untill chop date......let us know what you think about the color of your tri-chomes ok......also if ya want you can pinch off a small piece of bud and quick dry it in the micro-wave JUST for testing purpose.....dry at 10second at a time and give a couple seconds inbetween and also turn/roll inbetween as well....try that and lets us know how the sample was....
beautiful job core for real

Personally I don't trim any healthy leafs, but to trim or not is a growers 'choice.
If you feel that trimming could increase your yield, go for it...maybe trim 1 plant and see if it makes difference.. Nothing wrong with experimenting a bit and gaining experience....
Looks like you're gonna have some nice stash in a while, stay patient now and you will be rewarded nicely..

ok i have a prelimenary smoke report but i can say its way to soon to chop
imma couchlock kinda guy...smoked a joint...sticky bud...i find it so harsh ......no weed taste but i guess thats normal from a cut straight of the plant......not my kinda high ..........doubt i even felt it....
maybe i should of taken bong !
stigma's white/greenish...not brown enough.....5 a 8 % brownish ...calyx and trichomes need to mature further no sign of any amber color
smoking as i wright.....still 'NO GO'
cant make a macro jaws....i dropt my 6.1 cam ....its in the store..should be back soon if i have garantie
@Dre
still i trimmed a few to see what the outcome will be ..i hope they dont get 2 mutch stress the last few days....
now the canopy is gone the buds are bading in the 600 W HPS ....cant be that bad i think....?
ohw yea some friend of mine told me to dry here out the last week..he said that it forses her to make resin....should i do that?
and what about cutting the stem in the middle to produce thc?

hello core
she is clearly not ready then my friend, your the last say in wheather your plant is ready or not, from what i just read go with how you fill....which i'm sure is she is not done......countinue her feeding lay out and keep checking the tri-chomes brother.......
i think your friend might be referring to flushing but i cant say for sure, after you have fully flushed her a couple times then yes you will let her SOIL dry out....when its just about dry is when (if you choise too) you put her in a 48 hour dark cycle, after two days cut her remove the branches hang and slit the side down to help release the moisture......
cutting stem in the middle while still GROWING NO MAN NEVER DO THAT!!!!...tell your friend to quit smoking the swag weed and wait untill you get some good shit
....
peace bro

That girl looks like she went to an army barber lol,you can experiment if you want but trust me man you're doing a disservice to your final outcome by stripping all those fans off.Its been my experience that the buds dont need direct light at all to finish beautifully,its the fans that I like to keep viable as long as possible to collect all the light the flowers will ever need
@skeletor
lol man to late i already got halfe a room of G.I janes.....just needed to experiment on this ....but dont worry mate i did't skin them all
@jaws
no its not like that jaws...
he said just to do 1.5 week flush and then stop giving them water untill the end..
the cutting theorie i found on the net ....it seems to be an azian way of producing more THC its calld 'klieven' in dutch
only appley when plant is mature
it does not kill the plant its stops upward stream (vegetation ) and the glands will produce more thc to avoid drying out
i got a link but its dutch

Water Deprivation
Many cultivators begin to limit the amount of water their plants receive as soon as the flowers start to appear. Other growers give their plants as little water as possible after the middle of the plant's life. The plants are given small amounts of water only when they begin to wilt. (See section 9 on the reasons for stressing the plants.)
Under water stress many of the leaves may die and fall from the plant. Sometimes the plants appear "burned," and turn brown or gold. At harvest, water-stressed plants may only have buds left on them and these may have the colour, resin, and harshness typical of Colombian grass. These plants yield less grass at season's end. Not only are they smaller overall, but many of the leaves will have fallen away.
Water stress can be difficult to control in areas with heavy summer rain. Water-stressed plants often make up for their smaller size by a raped burst of growth after a heavy rain. One method of control is to cover the ground with plastic sheets when it rains so that most of the water runs off.

hello core..
first pharagraph(sp) is not the way i grow at all, and i think most growers who have some knowledge of growing dont grow like that either...
the rest of that does not apply to you and me or any other grower who grows indoors, thats a statement about outdoor growing.....
peace bro..

Hello ic
here is a update on the girls i'm cooking....
my WW at week 5
all NLx at end of week 8 day 54 of flower (in the back of pic a couple of WW and a unknow strain)
there getting quite jusy now ....can't take a good pic of the resin but its there
she stank after shit, crap,pooo and a light citrus smell.
....but after a couple of good flushings she started to reveal her sent 
think she had to much nutes in her soil...
im glad i had such a strong plant to begin with...if i had a more sesepteble strain...i would shurly of killd her due to overfeeding
next time gonne meseure ppm..some1 know a good topic on how mutch nutes to give in diffrent stages of the plant?

must say they have changed...first of all the color and burns ...dang ...i cant take close pics..pitty (should call the shop for my better camera so i can show some resin
)
Nway here are some pics
you can see the heavely burnd spots
in front and back are my White widows

Looks like you did a good job core,you shouldnt take what you read on this subject to heart because except for a very few,none of these authors have ever come close to a MJ plant.Depriving the plant of water and food when it begins flowering is a surte way to grow weak plants,they cant be talking about the same thing I've been growing lol!During the first 3 weeks or so of 12/12,the plant is going to grow like crazy and will be requiring abundadnt food and water to get through it healthy.I feed almost nitrogen exclusively during the first part of 12/12,its the most active part of the actual vegetation growth and I want to maximize that.The more actual foliage you're able to pack on,the more buds you're going to get in the end.Plants need phosphorous mainly for flowering growth but remember just because you switched the photoperiod doeant mean the plant is automatically flowering,its still vegging.On the point of deprivation,a few growers will let their plants go pretty dry towards the end,but thats the last week or so.Personally,I keep my plants hydrated until harvest watering them the night before or a few hours before harvest to ensure as slow a drying process as I can get.If your plant is bone dry and near wilting,it'll dry a lot quicker if thats what you want
thx SKELETOR...
but its just hard sometimes if you read conflicting threads and methods...i'm new here and dont know all the 'good' methodes yet...
nway im not depriving water on my White widows just yet it just that i had no ph meter coz it broke down i used demineralised water for 2 waterings but now i got myself some ph strips today to get by ,so thats why they have no water 2day but at 10 PM they wake up and they will get some fluids
only some of the NLx are put on hold but thats coz they are at the end of week 9....
ohw and coz its my first time i already made the desision to keep some moist and to let some dry ...just to notice the difrence...then i'l know my way
