Not trying to offend, but the green crack looks as if it should go a couple more weeks. I generally let my plants go until the hairs have turned. They look like they are starting what I call "the swell" a period at the last 2 weeks or so when buds swell with resin, and produce about 20% of your total weight.

the green crack is about 10% amber trichs which is almost where i like it (15-20%) ill pull it thursday probably which will be 57 days. its already past its swelling stage, as is the tangie. everything else in that bed is right at the middle/end of swelling where they start to get hard. i always go by trichs and water uptake as i find them to be better indicators than pistils turning. you take the green crack past 9 weeks? i dont like it over 60 days. it loses alot of that mango if i let mine go too far. thanks for stopping by packman!

I have never grown green crack, so you would know better than me. I generally start flushing when 10 % white hairs. I tend to error on the side of running longer rather than short, just a personal preference. I have not grown many Sativa dominate strains, due to the lack of demand in California. Even though I personally like motivational buds. I generally grow for profit, I have tried some funky stuff that I have interest in, but I don't need multiple plants for personal. So I don't buy a pack of seeds just for personal. I am cut phobic and don't take outside cuts. I don't smoke that much, mabey 4 or 5 grams a week, plus a couple rosin dabs a day.

the no till beds also make it harder to go by the pistils. the glue seems to never quit shooting out white hairs for me. but they also start turning brown at week 4-5.
do people in cali really not purchase sativas? i thought most of the growers in cali just doidnt want to produce them...

Only people in my area that want sativa are the old guys that are nostalgic for bygone days of imported only cannabis. My cousins father in law is a Vietnam vet, he's nostalgic for the sativa they had in Vietnam. He also wants Mexican brown, aka Mexican dirtweed. The browner the better he says. He flipped when I showed him hash that I made. He bought an ounce, to share with a buddy from the Vietnam war.

I think norcal may have a bigger appetite for Sativas. I really should source a nother cut of Jack Herer, it's the only thing that works for my back pain. The Jack I had was nothing like most of the beaster Jack cuts out there. Very piney with a thick layer of trichomes, I belive it was know as j1

man i havent seen regular jack in a minute. ive been trying to source black domina for my herniated l4/l5. i heard from a few folks its like smoking heroin. i said shhh... you had me at heroin. cant be found easily. when i think of jack, after i roll through the emperor wears no clothes, i think of flavor. not pain relief. perhaps ive been sleeping on mr herer this whole time. it has been years since ive seen it. i had some jackhammer beans awhile ago, i wonder what happened to those.

so i have been wondering that again. they are a bit bigger than most gardens i see it in. dans flowers get pretty big but dont seem to stack the same. but we have two very different set ups. i have a verified gg4 cut now that came in with the 2.0 so i will know for sure soon enough. ill flower one of the new gg4 in with the cut ive had so i can finally put that to bed, one way or another. but yeah, kinda makes you wonder. i dont think im that good of a grower, but either way if it is an s1 its the best one ive ever seen and the strongest weed i have ever smoked. also, theres definitely some seed in this round again. just in the glue, nothing else in the room.
