Wow, thanks to both of you!

Thanks for the info! In the end, the environment changed for the better. They are in a partially heated garage. About 60F and 55-60% hum. So, little lower temp, little higher humidity, so it sounds like a good balance. I hung the whole plants but I'll watch how they go. Two of them changed a...

Oh, one other thing I forgot. There's no way I'll be able to get 75F where I'm hanging these. I'll probably be around 50F, maybe up to 60F. Will this affect things negatively? Also, from the video, it sounds like I should have about 50% humidity. That's not what we get up here in winter. We...

OK, just in case nobody knows what I'm talking about, it was suggested to me earlier in the thread that if I wanted more amber trichomes, I should put them somewhere with 100% darkness for a day or 2. A light proof bag was the suggestion. I kind of need to know if these guys, or some of them...

No, seriously. Should I bag them for a day before I chop them? :) Thanks!

OK, final bud report. I'm out of time so I wanted to know if I should bag these babies in zero light for 24h? These are odd plants. Some trichomes look clear, some look cloudy, some look amber, and some even look purple. 0.o' Here are the photos. I wanted your opinions on putting them in...

No I've been using my camera equipment. (See photos above) Sativa or Indica? Yes. 2 Sativa, 1 Indica. Sativa cerebral. Indica sedative. Also, I do know about the trichomes, which is why I've been taking photos, but as a "noob" I thought someone could give me an idea based on their progression...

Thanks all. I talked to the guy with the greenhouse and he's keeping the heat on. *phew* :) Edit: I know you can't know for sure, especially since it's now winter and we're getting a LOT less light, but do you guys have any guess as to how much longer it will take based on the photos I've posted?

Water

Thanks all. But if the guy turns the heat off on Jan 1 it'll drop to +2 in the day and anywhere from -3 to -6 at night. I don't think the plants will like that... Also, what would happen if I tried to dry and cure them in those temp conditions? Lastly, any thoughts on the leaves I circled...

I'm a photographer so I have some pretty decent gear, but not absolute top of the line stuff as most of that stuff is insanely expensive! I used a 100mm macro lens with extension tubes, as well as a magnifying "super macro" attachment on the front of the lens. I can't remember the name of it...

Hi, just giving an update, although from what I've heard, it may not matter. Apparently the person who's letting me use his greenhouse has said that he's turning off the heat Jan 1. Thanks for all the notice! lol Anyways, here are a few pics. As you can see with the last 2 that I put circles...

Time for an update! The trichomes are starting to get frosty, but none have turned orange yet. The buds are a bit bigger, but I think they'll be small, partly due to my "love" and partly due to the cloudy weather we get here this time of year. As you can see in the wide angle shot, the first...

Oh I have. I've read the thread, watched vids, read websites. I'm watching the trichomes (added the word "trichomes" to dictionary... lol) to see how they're doing. They're turning milky, slowly, but none have turned orange. From what I've read, I probably want about 25% of them to have turned...

OK thanks. But I have noticed that the little hairs on some of the buds have started to wilt. You see it most in the first photo. From what I've read, that's a sign (sometimes) that it's getting close to time to harvest, but the buds are still quite small. Probably due to "love" ........ :/
