Trichomes & Harvesting

[chuck estevez]

I did what I could with my phone camera, from what I see they are milky, only a couple amber. This isnt a main cola but its not a popcorn, but this is basically what it looks like all over.

I'm thinkin its getting real close
Anyone have an opinion or should I wait for a loupe to get a closer look?

still a couple weeks left. I like for all the white hairs to recede before i even start looking at trics.
Your plants look like they are N toxic. I would just use plain water for awhile.

I just changed the res, it bounces back within a day or two. Its a single plant about 4 1/2' tall stalk is about the diameter of a half dollar with a root structure that could probably wrap around the block twice. It's in a 5 gal bucket with clay peb in a 6" net pot.

I will drain about 1/3 of the res and replace with balanced fresh, should that suffice?

Thanks for the super fast response!

How do you p.m. up in this b?

They are super dark green, they have to much nitrogen, cutting them off from anymore will help them use it up and the plants will finish properly, to much N will lower potency and make it taste like Chit.

-shudder/chills/gasp!-
No one likes Chitty taste!

I'll dilute and cut back with next res change, thanks for the advise!

Im a noob and this is my first official grow.These are some pics of my girl. Day 49 of flower phase. By looking at the pics, how long before harvest? I don't have a microscope to check the trics. Thanks in advance. The strain is Lemon Kush. View attachment 3240487View attachment 3240489 View attachment 3240491

Nice girl, where did you get your strand?

Hi.
Just want to say thank you to Koijn for this excellent thread!! Best harvesting
thread I have seen.

 

[MrRare]

Well having read the entire thread I am feeling much more informed and confidant on when to harvest and how to dry and cure. I appreciate the scientific approach Koijin employ's and the support for his statements. The art and science of growing is highly technical and filled with years of fabels and misinformation. Thanks Koijin for your knowledge ,time and patience in addressing so many questions and challenges.

My Purple Paro trichs look ready, right? Mandala says this is a mid-end of October strain but she looks ready to me. What do you think?

Thanks also for kOijn for this thread.

I have had small outdoor grows (2-6 plants) over the past few years and always wondered about the flushing process. This year I have two very healthy plants due to maintaining a regular feeding schedule. I'm coming up on harvest time- probably 1 more week for my indica, 2 weeks for my Jock Horror cross- and, based on the first three pages of this thread, will keep feeding up until the end and passing on flushing the plants this year.

Getting ready to go home and take a new look at the trichomes to see if any have turned cloudy/amber in the past few days.

I have a Nikon D90 with a macro Lens

Basically you just shoot a focused close up of a bud, then just crop a small part of it to get in really close.

 

[MrRare]

Thanks for your response.
Time to buy another lens.

hi and thanks in advance if someone can help me

are these trics considered clear or milky?..

hi and thanks in advance if someone can help me

I am having problems seeing them but I believe they are mostly clear because I can just see a few amber specks. I am having problems telling clear from cloudy too. Even with better pictures for me it is hard to tell if some of the trichs are cloudy or they just look cloudy because of the way the light is reflecting.

I would like to harvest when they are prime. Opinions anyone? I am not seeing many amber on mine and I am not sure if I'm seeing a lot of cloudy or just the way the lights are reflecting..

The pic of the example of a mature cloudy trich looks immature still mine get white as snow solid white

It appears there are still some clear tricomes but most are cloudy.
I would continue to watch it and wait till the majority are cloudy but harvest before they start to turn amber.
