Harvest question.

My plants are in their 10th week of flower(bag seed) and about 60% of the hairs have turned an amber color but the tricomes are still clear as far as I can see. Just wondering how close to harvest I am.
Also anyone know how to post pics from an iPhone to this site?

I have a loop but it's only 10x.
Like I said most of the trics are still clear.

Thanks for the advice bubbles.

Are you sure your looking at them right? I know when I first started I thought I had a bunch of clear when really they were all cloudy/milky. Make sure you are looking at the top of the trich, they will always tend to be clear on the bottom but the bubble at top should be cloudy.

I'd deff start the flush and watch over them. Remember trichs can change extremely fast as they are constantly producing.

Get us some pics and we will try to help out

If the Trichomes are clear and you like a clear short High, Harvest now.
Want cloudy Trichomes, wait longer.
Want Amber Trichomes a Couch Lock, then wait more.
I take my Trichomes around 70% cloudy and 30% Amber.
You need to decide what you like... Duh

I know when to harvest based on trich color problem is I can't really see them too well cause its only a 10x. I think I'm going to have to get a better loop.

Anyone know how to post pics from an iPhone? That way I can give you guys a better idea of what I'm working with here.

you should be able to get an idea with the 10x. i use a 30x loupe,but even with just your eyes you can pretty much see when the trichs are mostly cloudy compared to when they were mostly clear.sometimes bagseed can lean more to the sativa side and take longer. i have had some bagseed look very indica dom. but still didnt want to ripen.

I know some strains don't show ripeness through pistol hairs alone, but if only 60 percent have turned and receded then you def want to let them go longer. I honestly NEVER had a strain that I harvested before I let all pistol hairs turn. Once I see they being 90-100% then I check trichs for the stone I choose. Which with indica heavy strains is very little amber all cloudy. Bags seed for whatever reason tends to lean to sativa so you could be looking at 10-14 week finishing times. Pre-mature bud isn't worth it IMO. Be patient and give them more time. Good luck :)

radio shack sell hand held microscopes that zoom from 60x to 100x for like 12 bucks. worthy investment. some one got some permafrost from me and accused it of being moldy, freaked me out. i went and bought one and turns out the dude just had never had weed that was that covered in trich's before!!! i had a clinic verify that there was nothing wrong with it and in fact they were impressed enough to bring other clinic workers over to check it out and they told me that it was of unusually high quality. so many tricks you couldn't even see any bud under the scope. kinda pissed me off to because im the dude talked shit to other people about me herb when in reality i gave him the dankest weed he has probably ever seen. its like dude if there was mildew or mold on that shit don't you think it would smell like it!? point being if anybody questions shit now. All have to say now is would mind showing me what your talking about under this microscope?

Thanks for all the responses guys.
I just noticed a few naners on one of my girls. I plucked it off should I be worried?

I've walked by Radio Shack trying to remember what I was going to buy there about 3 times and I could never remember. I never went in either, so now hopefully I can remember to pick one up on Monday. I hate being a stereotype.
