I'm growing a white widow strain and she's going into the 9th week of flowering. The seed bank I got the seeds from suggested I harvest at the end of the 8th week. In the past, I always used a 70-75% red pistol indicator to determine when it was time to harvest, and this baby is all white pistols with maybe 35% of the pistols turning red. After having read this website for weeks, I've learned to look at the trichromes. The question I have for this group is...
Do I flush now, go with water for a week and harvest, or do I continue with nutes through the 9th week, flush, and go with water for the 10th week and harvest at the end of the 10th week? I was reading a thread about using the advantages of going water with the last week and darkness for 72 hours prior to harvest and am going to follow that guidance. What I need know is help in determining if I start the flush / water now or wait a week. I've attached pics and hopefully you all will be able to see the trichromes. The plant just appears to me that it needs another week or two before harvest. In looking through a microscope the trichromes appear to be some clear, some white, and I can't see any amber.
Knowing I'm not an expert, I've come here for some guidance.
Now THAT is Bud Porn! Beautiful ladies otter. IMO, I would start the flush now and check in a week.You could decide then on whether to harvest or wait another week.But that's just me.
Great work
There are 2 rules to growing marijuana.
Rule 1=DON'T TELL ANYONE! Rule 2=DON'T FORGET RULE #1!
I'd say at least 3 more weeks. when they are ripe the calyxes should be swollen and the whole plant should take on a new hue of colors. Check out this link it will help you decide Zeus's Take on Harvesting
