I also posted this thread in the newbies room


I have three nice ladies that were grown outdoor until flower. Now they are nearing week 8 of the flower cycle. I have the RS 60-100x microscope and my trichomes are mostly cloudy, but some are starting to turn amber. The strange part is all of my hairs are still very white! I feel I am so close, but i have read that the hairs always turn red.

All these ladies have ever been fed is water and molasses since they started to flower. I know it's crazy, but i am sure i have produced some high grade dank with no nutes at all.

What is your opinion?!
will the hairs turn colors in the next 7-10 days?
there is some significant leaf burn on the tips of some cola's, but the buds still look healthy.

I am paying close attention to the trich development, but I'm REALLY stumped with the hairs.

Mine did that too. I was well into 10 weeks with all white pistils.Trichs were 50/50 clear/cloudy with a few amber ones. I went ahead an harvested at what I'm pretty sure was 11 weeks. WOW!!! Nice high!!!
I'd say go with the trichs. It would make sense. Thats how alot of people target the kind of high they want. Soundss like if you slash it now, you'll have a nice, up high, little if any couch-glue.

pirate is right you can chop it now.. always go by the the trichs. I usually go by the bud development and when it seems to slow I chop. Most plants have about a 2 week time during which they can be harvested depending upon the high you want, and now will be an uphigh like pirate said. I agree with the no nutes. My ladies went from clones to 4 weeks flower(9wks total) with no nutes and are looking pimp. Good dirt doesnt need much more help.
