In soil under 315CMH in a 2',6" x4' tent.

She may have longer to go, opinions?

The poor ladies are the test run in my drobe/tent and have been starved,under-watered,
but as,nearly, always they've pulled through albeit reduced in bulk.

I'm hoping there is some swelling to happen,
the Ginger pistils are a trait if the 'photos on Sweet seeds site are a guide.
and most of the Tric's seem clear.

age is making a floor level grow a no go.

Not many white pistils to turn ginger. Have you snipped a piece of bud and looked at it under a pocket scope, usb digital camera or a loupe to see the real story of the trichomes?

Thanks for the reply @AutoWonders ,
Had a snip from a top bud,and looked with microscope,
all looks clear, saw maybe 1 in 20 a bit cloudy.

Advertised finish is 9 weeks,
but both are in massive (not by design) pots, and water and feed
have been suboptimal, so I was thinking maybe they were a bit behind.

The picture at Sweet seeds is covered with orange pistils and they have shown some colour all along,so I wasn't taking too much notice.

The plants seem to be carrying on with little die off.

Sticky as hell,and smelly, so nearly there but don't want to hinder the potential by chopping early.

Will just have to keep watching,
my outdoor plants always make it clear by starting to die.

Published time-frames for grows is something to go by somewhat loosely. Many of us, generally speaking, add two weeks to the published grow time-frames.

Sounds about right,
maybe a chance to bulk up a little.

Got my Lab. Microscope out and had a look 200x, all clear except -where they have been damaged,
looks like a group of toffee apples stuck together .

Dried and tried the sample, - it definitely works.

Humidity is putting the s**ts up me at the min. lights out it creeps up to 68%
and I just can't have that, so I think 24/0 till harvest.

Also wondering about going back to the Grow bulb (Higher UV ?) for the last week or two,
I'll have to go to the lighting thread for that.

Anyway thanks for the reply Dude.

200x's? Isn't that too much mag? or does it work better than say 20-60 times?

Not exactly sure of the magnification on the turret I was using, but I was looking through an 80 then 100x with different pocket scopes,and they looked around twice size through my desktop scope.

Even unaided I can almost discern the shape and colour of a trichome, with a the desk microscope each ones stem looks around a foot long,

The pocket jobs at 60x did the job really but I'm paranoid about not chopping earlier than needs.

Outdoor plants I've never even bothered looking,
the plant talks, and I have the confidence
to listen
-but first indoor grow since 94ish. Has me second guessing myself.
