Thin Mint Jealousy, Sunset Sherbet, Oreoz & Cheetah Piss

They do look scrumptious! Frosty the abominable snowman coated.

33% “success” rate is better than a chance of having 100% failure rate and never knowing if it could have been better or not….good bud harvested a few days early and a few days late isn’t the end of the world….I have no choice but to harvest in stages because I fill up my sheds and garage and just don’t have room to dry, I’ve learned a lot by doing so. Patience is a virtue, you strike me as someone who doesn’t have any.

……and don’t blame because you killed a plant that you didn’t know how to revert into veg.

sorry, i thought you were a better grower than that
but apparently you're too lazy to check your trichs,
so you figure no one else should bother either
enjoy your sleep medicine

You’re are the one who was posting you are going by x number of weeks since “the first white pistils appeared”, but now all of a sudden are going by trichomes color…what one is it..?

[Munchy]

you would only need to read back a few pages for the last 5 days and look at all the trich shots i started posting
to know that was my plan, but the online estimates are useful ball-park info to consider as well, but 'with a grain of salt' of course.
but maybe i also figured checking for cloudy and amber trichs was basic and obvious stuff we would all know about and practice.

just a few weeks to go
i'm planning to harvest in layers from the tallest tops down
to allow the lower buds to fully ripen

just holding a loupe here. i want to get a wireless/usb scope soon
or maybe just a 100x or 200x clip-on will do?
nice advertising on eBay here, lol

it looks like a bit of amber near the pics edges,
before 1 o'clock on the 1st pic, and at 3 o'clock on the 2nd pic
but i suppose that may be a trick of the lighting or poor focus
and if it was for real, I'd be seeing some in the middle as well, where the focus is best.
i often find it hard to tell milky from clear, probably for the same reason,
or how the light seems to reflect more shine off the side of heads,
except at the center of the pics, where they're more directly in front of the camera.
what i really need to do when it gets closer is to cut little samples off for better scopage

...and this (Sherbet) is sleepy weed right? so I'm sure I don't want too much amber on it...

you totally overlooked that line, which was in the same reply as the online estimates. and when you had said "when you think it's ready, wait another week" it meant to me that when I see the amount of amber trichs that i would consider enough for me to think it's ready, to wait another week and let a much higher percentage go amber, which tends to cause couch-lock, and wouldn't make any sense to me, especially with indicas like the sherbet, already known to be sleepy weed. and considering how the Oreoz is looking especially ripe in general, with very few good pistils left, that 10% of amber will be the final thing I'm waiting for, as i said i highly doubted the online estimates i've seen for that one.

See how I put when you think it’s done wait another week in quotation marks..?…That’s because it use to be a mantra at OG.

I didn’t make it up, but I find it to be very true.

Doing multiple pulls and side by side comparisons is how you learn.

I tend to give mine the extra week, too. It's usually worth it. In all honesty, it doesn't make a huge difference to the type of smoke, which is mostly genetic.

What you need to remember is that, while it cures it is going to get heavier anyway, because THC degrades into CBN, so the the ratio of CBD:THC increases. All strains develop more body as they age in the jars.

IMO, if you want a racy high, grow a racy strain

day 46

cheetah piss

thin mint jealousy

sherbet

the rest are OREOZ
can you guys see how ripe the oreoz looks now?
aside from the many clear and no amber trichs yet
maybe it genetically has like early baldness syndrome?

i just found this:

Oreoz (Cookies and Cream x Secret Weapon)

Cultivation information for growers, from breeders.

Cultivar Details:

Plant Physiology: Oreoz has a short to medium stature with dark green Afghanica-type leaves during the vegetative growth period. In flower, Oreoz displays a narrow profile and medium stretch. The leaves turn a deep purple to black color (hence the name Oreoz) with cream- and lavender-accented flowers that are extremely resinous and encrusted with crystals.

Flowering Time: Recommended flowering time for indoor and light-deprivation greenhouses is 54-60 days. Outdoor harvests can be expected in early October in northern latitudes. Oreoz finishes growing reasonably early.

Breeder Notes: Oreoz is a beautiful, dark purple, diamond-encrusted plant with a menthol gas nose and stunning bag appeal.

Cannabinoid Profile: THCA 25%-29%, CBGA 0.6%. The effects of this cannabinoid profile and terpene expression are generally sedating.
Terpene Profile: Oreoz’ dominant terpenes are caryophyllene, humulene, trans-nerolidol, limonene, and myrcene.
Reported flavor profiles are cream, diesel, and chocolate.

A racy high is a main reason I'm most interested in the older strains via heirlooms. These newer high thc, highly frosted, beautifully hued, strains are impressive as fuck, I do confess. But, they tend to be heavy & sedating, compared to the clear & slightly racy Panama Red, for example.
