White Widow auto winter grow

[QLDPOTHEAD]

Thanks, I am amazed in how my plants have grown. I put it down to having a place to put them in the really cold nights. I have attached some photos of the enclosure I built to put them in at night when it cold. An also I have them on a movable trolley to allow me to move them around to get the best sunlight during the day. I wish I had grown some plants early as I have spent a small fortune to pay for my enjoyment. Thankyou for all the help I have received from this site. Its been awesome.

The warmth really helps the plant along plus you chasing the sun constantly. Bet its the best money youve spent in ages .

Makes me want to try an auto.

I bought 10 seeds and only used 2 so far. I will put another 2 in at the start of spring and hope they do well. The compound I built has been great. I am going to use a hot house I bought a few years ago next winter and see if it goes well.

Updated pics on trichomes. I have 2 plants at 95 days since planting. The first pics are for plant one and their 5 pics. The second plant has 5 pics. Just wondering on people thoughts on when I should harvest

I'd lean to around a week more ish. Thought I could see milky and clears but I didn't spot any ambers

1st one looks ready, but the other needs another week or 2.

 

Try to resist the temptation to quick dry, there's a few threads on the site about harvesting, drying, and curing if you need ideas.

 

Looking forward to a smoke report.

Totally agree.

Thanks for that, Just a question. What is the difference between drying and curing. And does anyone have links any recommended post about the best way to go about harvesting. I keep reading and seem to get more confused.... I was just going to cut them down, Trim off the excess leaves and them hang them in my dark shed for a few weeks. Any recommendations welcome....

Basically you dry to the point when the stems start to snap instead of bending, then you destem and jar the buds up.  A week or 2 of jar burping until the moisture levels are correct and stable then keep the jars sealed, that's when curing starts and the buds just get better from then on.  Experience is needed to learn the process properly, but once you do it a couple of times you'll pick up all the signs.
