Gnight @oldmaninbc I wanted to tell you, I have 3 older brothers, and all of them, at various times, drove thru BC on the ALCAN, while driving from PA to Alaska. 5000 Miles one way.
I have always wanted to drive it. It was mostly dirt when the did it. Maybe someday...
I have never done that particular drive myself but I have heard it is a worthy journey for a vacation. Lots of scenic country to be seen and hopefully some wildlife.

"Maybe someday" needs a plan. Better bring 2 cameras, one for each hand:)

I always get a chuckle out of my son and family, they have travelled all around the world but have never travelled their own country.

Still fighting the good fight. A few cuts got squirrelly. Changed out my light today, a little brighter and a little more warmth. Refilled cups, some got put into root riot plugs, been a week. Just keeping on.

The variegation in the Chem cuts is interesting to me. It is what it is I suppose -

It might sound crazy but after almost 55 years of growing I never taken a plant into the amber stage. My plants are well developed but I don't see any amber. How long does it take for them to amber and do they vary according to strain. I'm growing hybrids.
Any thoughts on the amber process would be welcome.

The trichomes do pretty much get amber when they ripen up…and yes they all mature according to strain…I use an eye loupe to check in in on them…for me I like to see all of the sparkly trichs gone…and the rest should be milky…once the amber starts developing keep an eye on them because they turn quickly…I usually want only a few amber trichs on my plants when I harvest them…at least that’s the plan anyway…kinda like any fruit when ripening you let them go too far past their peak and the quality deteriorates

One person suggested I should not let them go beyond 25% amber, does this go along with your experience.

Yes, I have a jewelers loupe and also a small handheld magnifier that lights up and is adjustable. So I'm ready for detection, I just need to understand what I'm looking for. I usually harvest when they are mostly opaque with a few clear glands. I think that comes from the early days of growing outdoors and what I learned.

These days because of age and several chronic health problems I' m looking for more of a relaxing physical reaction opposed to lets get up and run around the block. No, I don't run at all. I can't
If I want a sativa dominant hybrid I look for mental stimulation with a relaxing physical aspect to it. Like the Jamaican Dream I've been using. I don't usually use cannabis during the day, sometimes on a weekend afternoon.
