Yes, a lot of the hairs are red and curled up but not receded back into the calyxes.

So are you saying I should just switch to about 9 or 10 hours but just switch for a few days and then go back to 12/12?

I think the leaves have gone so yellow because of the flush water and molasses feedings.
If it seems the plant could actually go on for 18 weeks maybe I should go back to feeding Fox farms Big Bloom?

I appreciate any input.
Thanks

can someone repost the image of the changing color of the trichs......where it goes from clear to cloudy to amber etc. i know its in here somewhere but i cant find it

i asked this in my thread with no answer, so i will ask on here... do all strains trichs turn amber when ripe? also for the hairs... do all strains hairs turn reddish brown when fully ripe or are there strains that stay mostly white when potential harvest time comes around? just curious... like ive said before i am a newb towards the end of his first grow, so yeah... still learning a shit ton...

In pic's below .. you can see the Trich's are milky .. then turning to Amber color ..

All the Pistils that I've seen turn reddish Brown .. or orange .. it's from the pistils drying up

I was really Hoping fdd would comment in here ... I don't want to act like the big Expert .. fdd knows more than I do .. I'd say cut the light hours back to ten .. for at least 5 or 6 days and see what happens .. maybe to nine hrs for one of those days .. u gotta b the judge ..




again .. gotta be ur call .. I wouldn't go back to full strength .. it may not go to 18 weeks .. the rest of the pistils .could dry up any day .. U still don't see milky trich's ? what happens if u dry and cure a bud ? u said it smokes good .. any amber trich's after a few days drying ?

just give it time thats all thats needed.

I'm starting to see a lot of crystals forming on the buds now that I changed the light so 10/14 so I may leave them go for the rest of the week.

COOL ! ..................... nice to know !


Also .. turning OFF lights (for 2 or 3 days) before harvest seems to help make em "frosty"
