here are some recent pictures. Too lazy to write the dates but these are from last week. i didn't take a close up, but the buds are becoming fuzzy and smelling a lot like it can be smoke right now. Trichomes are mostly clear and little hints of becoming milky. I think she should be ready in a couple weeks. It took about one week for it to become completely milky at the same point in the previous harvest.

sorry i don't have time to read the whole thread today but i want to mention
that when you get those nice seeds from Nirvana like 'citral' and you get a male plant try to get some pollen and pollinate your females (a little on lower branch flower) to make some citral F2 seeds for future grows.

you can put the male in a separate box with a small light and not too fussy about it. he'll drop some pollen you can collect. males are important and you won't have to buy citral seeds again.

good luck

In the pictures i have two Citrals. The current female and grow is the one that has been LST'd. The other which was left to grow was a male which i trashed.

The male is gone. I didn't want to breed yet since i'm still a rookie grower. the box i currently may be adjusted to make a breeding area. Thanks

Yeah it should smell a lot better once cured and it will also firm up.
Don't forget to tell us how much you got after drying

Some tips I think you could use:
1. You could have done this with less lights and using candescent light fixtures, you know the type with clamp on them and you see them in shops.
2. I would also suggest you put the lights closer, around 3 inches is fine.
3. You could easy do this with 3 lights.

Well...as far as how much weight i got after the first harvest...about three weeks of smoke mixed with street purchased product. Guessing i'd have to say between 1/4 oz to under 1/2. I just cut down the rest of it so right now it's hanging for a couple days then it'll go into paper bags.
I bought those cheap fixtures you buy from home depot. It make the amount of electric plugs less. i.e. I have one plug for three lights giving me two plugs vs. six plugs for the same amount of lights. I'm pretty confident with wiring...the only thing i worry about is plugging it in when i'm baked. Like doc brown doing his experiments.

After neglecting this thread. i did two separate harvests. Don't got pics of it because it's not the greatest looking--loose and airy. As far as the smoke goes. I can taste the hery/earthy taste so it's not the sweetest, but if you smoke cigs like i USE to it tastes much better. Since i harvested them both a little early the buzz is nice. At first i was like NO!!! black thumb, then a few minutes into it i was like...wow my vision has come clearer.

I give this a 7 of 10 for overall meaning that if i were in need to street purchase this, i wouldn't pay top dollar, but still worth to pick up if the price is right.
