I would say flush for a week and chop. You need to check out the trichomes with a microscope to be absolutley sure.

jewlers loupe works fine too just make sure its 30x mag, check trich. Do you know the flowering time for them? typical flower time is 8-9 weeks they look pretty good tho. GL

flowering time for the DD is 63-70 days and for magic bud56-63 days,so im not ure because its a cross right, i was hoping you guys could give me a heads up juidging by the pics??

just curious, did it hermie out on you in the last bit of flwering? judging by the pics i see some yellow male parts?! i had a strain that did that at exactly 9 weeks everytime. 1 pollen sac per 5gram of bud almost but never had time to set seeds.

and congratulations! it always nice to congratulate yourself on achieving the end product! love the skinny fingered fan she throws! reminds me of my arjan's #3 bush!! i miss her lol

If you go to radio shack they sell microscopes 60-100 X magnification for under 20 dollars. That would give you the precise maturity of the trichromes. Also what is your goal in terms of high? Do you want just a head high ( if so harvest when the trichromes are milky white)? Do you want an even high of head to body( if so harvest when the trichromes are 50% percent milky white and amber colored)? Do you want couchlock high(if so harvest when the trichromes are amber colored)? If it were me since you have a sativa dominant plant, I would harvest when the trichromes are half white and half amber microscopically. BTW that is an awesome looking plant. I hope you get a great yield.

to be honest i didnt know what they were lol, they happened maybe like 2 weeks ago and there hasnt been anymore popping up scince then so i didnt worry to much about it?

I'm glad I pointed it out to you! Keep track of how many weeks it was when they started to show. Also try to remember what might have caused a stressful condition. Having a few male parts in the end is a good learning tool (pretty safe if they show up too late anyway!) then you can detect a hermie much faster kuz you knwo what to look for and also you can decide if its worth cloning versus another similar mother that mite not have shown such parts. I did have one hermie out early and totally pollenate 3 of my little plants. It only had about three total sacs but it was the closest to the circulating fan. If they are different strains you accidentally did some breeding. If they are the same strain (or clone) it pretty much sux kuz those seeds usually arent very reliable for many reasons.

Usually good genetics revent this because in breeding they of course look for the most stable strains through their program.
