Hi everyone,
Well as you can tell my plants are in late flower when going off what the seed company's state" i've had one or two problems so they haven't grew to the full of what they could have been lol
(Not optimal)
Anyway with betty boo from joint doctor are the fastest growing auto plants around from what ive looked up about the strain and grow report on them. Joint doctor give these plants a growing time from seed to harvest in 58-60 days, mine are at 65 days from the seedings braking through the soil on the 1/8/14.
The thing thats on my mind is the genetics of the seeds and also the plants' if you look at most of the pistol hairs are a nice and amber colour plus the tricones( dont know if i spelt that right) are of a 50% mix of clear and milky ones which some people say to harvest when its like that?
Because the plants are only given 60 days most but i have heard of people on 65-70 days so thats where my confusion comes from, coz my hairs are looking really amber on some buds and i read somewhere that isn't good and the thc start going? No sorry im wrong thats the tricones" again sorry if i have spelt that wrong, when they go from milky to amber thats when they are starting to go bad lol
be real grateful if someone could help out on what you think

Sorry for the late reply guys, thanks ever so much for the feed back, charts, and everything else. I'm abit more confused after reading the grow book i got for european cannabis cultivation by mel thomas and i know this guy knows his stuff but is there any truth in this page ive took a picture of and put on the top of this page.

That's all pretty good information but geared more toward photo sensitive plants. As you inspect your buds you'll see some of the trics are clear and sparkly while others are cloudy. The more clear trics, the more of a head high it's going to have. When the majority are cloudy, and possibly some ambered, then it's more of a body stone. I always sample my plants as they get near the end if it's a strain I've never grown before. I don't like sativa strains that have a trippy high, so always leave my sativa strains go longer. Some indicas are so couch lock that they might be better picked a little earlier. As he says, it all comes down to personal taste.

Hey. I've grown few rounds of Bettys and, to me, good harvest is when all cloudy trichs and few (10-20%) amber. Clear/cloudy no amber gives pretty much same high but not that long lasting.

Edit: attached a pic of that max 20% amber bud.

That loop is fine o se trychomes bt not realy strong enough to see what stage there at.You nee a 60x100 microscope to really get close.Gro shops carry them or radio shaak has them for around fifeteen bucks or go online.
