I've been using 3 gallon with minimal issues there so I think I'll continue that...

That makes so much sense because these were auto flowers! They were so different!

They smell kind of sweet which makes sense because it was Zkittles seeds I used. I feel like I'm becoming nose blind to the smell of weed because I've smelled them so much they don't smell very "weed-like" anymore 😂

Finally finished my first grow and boy... what a ride! Even though (supposedly) I used the same seeds for all many of the plants came out looking different (one turned purple, a couple had weird fan leaves). I'm in the curing stage now so I don't even know how they turned out yet. I'd like to...

So now I'm realizing that those plants were not as healthy to begin with at harvest, not really sure what happened other than I definitely bit off more than I could chew with my first grow (SOG method) and I just couldn't care for all of the plants properly. The remaining plants I harvested...

I pulled them down and it might not be AS bad as I thought... the smaller popcorn buds were definitely a bust but there was still some bend to the larger stems and the larger buds were still somewhat sticky and fragrant. I'll give them a try and see what happens. I was planning on trying...

I've honestly read a lot but until you experience it... it is all still very confusing. I had a bit of a panic reaction because they looked so poor and I was going away. I'm hoping to harvest the rest of the plants in a more reasonable fashion...lol. Thank you all for your help. Always...

I had them drying in my tent in my basement (65ish degrees and 40-50ish% humidity) and harvested them the day before I left (so technically 3 days?)... to be fair, the plants themselves weren't in the best condition, which is why I harvested them before the rest... leaves were yellow and wilted...

Whew, I do have 62% I'll jar them up and keep an eye on them. Should I add any time to the curing process? How long is ideal? Thanks all!

Help! I had to harvest some plants before I went out of town for 2 days and my buds are dry and crunchy now. Is there any hope or are they lost? I've got some Boveda packs, will that work?

Still more time for my others... are these considered milky? How long until they turn amber do you think?

So it has been 2 weeks and I feel like a check-in... loving the magnifier to watch the trichomes, HATE trying to photograph them 🤪 I'm seeing some amber in one of my plants and it is starting to yellow all over... I'm thinking it is time to harvest this one?

Thanks for the explanation, that makes a lot of sense. I'm a Marine Biologist by day ;)

Thank you all for your insights! I was thinking only a week or two more so thank you all for the advice! I will be patient and keep on trucking! Boo, I think I've tried reading everything I can find on the internet about harvesting and trichomes (I bought a 40x jewelers loupe yesterday) but...

This is my first grow and I have to say I'm pretty proud of myself considering I've never successfully kept a houseplant alive... It's been 78 days (34 flowering) and I know I'm getting near the end but I'm not sure how close... even though they are supposedly the same seed some of them look...
