Day 68 of FLOWERING !! When will she be ready?

Hey guys,

Ok so my sativa dom plant is now day 68 of flowering after first recognized hairs. So in total shes been in 12/12 for approx 82-85 days.

The trich's are mostly cloudy im guessing but to me clear and cloudy are hard to distinguish. Is lookin at the trichs with my HPS still on effecting what I see?

Ill get some pics up here in a cpl hours.

She still has a few white hairs on her, most of them have turned brown though. Im trying to determine maturity using the trichromes so I dont really want to go off the hairs.

Also is it true that if your stems/stalks feel hollow its a fairly clear indication that shes ready ?

Thanks for any help people !!
Jez

p.s: this pic was about 2-3 weeks ago


UPDATE !!

- Pulled and Trimmed and Hung up to dry !!!!

Will do mate, I wont be able to get pics of the trich's as I only have a jewlers loupe. But ill try and get the best quality pics I can. Havent got one of them flash USB microscopes yet, still on delivery.

Ok ive worked out the picture i uploaded was exactly 17 days from today. Not sure if it helps much though.

being 17 day old pic.... id say you have a week TOPs left.. she is a frosty ass mofo and looks sexy as hell!!!


imo, hps on will not change what you see... cloudy is cloudy.. amber is amber..

and the usb microscopes are a bitch to work with on full plants... I have one and only get legit images if I chop off a sample an put it on a table... the loupe is now by far my fav but cant take pictures ha...

granted there are good usb microscopes but the one I got only works with nothing moving (plant or scope)... I spent$50 on mine so thats prob why

Just FYI, people telling you to count your flowering days from the time you see the first pistil are dead wrong
The day you flip your plants, is the start of flowering.. dont let people tell you otherwise!

Oh... I read and I listen alot. Been told by many that I should time it from the time I recognize pistils.... so basically i flowered my ladies than for 85 days .... not bad

Good news being I pulled her and trimmed her up last night, managed to get her out of the tent and have a good scan through with the microscope.
I had around 95% white/cloudy trichs the other 5% were jus starting to get a little colour... still mostly cloudy but jus starting to turn a little amber so I decided she was ready to pull !!!

Here are the pics lads...

Dayum that thang looks good enuff to eat bro

Chopped her down last night bro trichs were nice and cloudy !! have a look

with 75% of the hairs being amber you can harvest, those plants look gorgeous.

Wow those look amazing. How many watts is your HPS?
