i've read things about clear, cloudy, and amber trichomes, but i can't really tell what state these are in. i'm partially colorblind.

strain: unknown, bagseed
nutes: veg: fish emulsion (5-1-1), vigoro (10-10-10); flower: mg bloom (15-30-15), tiger bloom (2-8-4)
lights: veg: 8x 32w 6400k cfls; flower: 10x 2700k cfls, 2x 6400k cfls, 1x reptisun 5.0 uvb 26w
misc: used superthrive during veg and early flower; used molasses during latter stage of flowering

i topped this plant twice, as an experiment. there's like 6-8 huge main colas. i'm really excited. next time, however, i'll exclusively LST.

i think it's been a little over 6 weeks, but i can't be sure. it feels, smells, and looks ready, but i want to get some opinions here, first.

i want to post the full res pictures but according to the attachment guidelines i can't. hope these will do.

Look at the trichs for clearness, not color if you are partially color-blind. Clear trichs would signal more time needed. If they are all cloudy then you probably got some amber as well......... 6 weeks is kinda soon...

Harvest when all the calyxes die. Trichomes change at different times on different parts of the plant. Go by calyxes. Harvest when they are all red.brown instead of white.

2-3 weeks from the look of them. Nice job

You MUST be meaning pistils/hairs.... calyxes are parts which seeds are made in. They wait to swell a lot right b4 finishing with a sensimilla crop.

By the looks of it, 6 weeks is just not enough. I would lower my nutes for week 7 and flush with plain ph'd water and feed only water for another 2 weeks...so 3 more weeks total give or take a few days. Be prepared dude, it could take a bit longer then 3 weeks.
