Hi, I was just wondering if those buds look done to you, think I should flush today and harvest next weekend? 7 days from now.

Trychs seem to be white but this is my first grow and maybe I am missing something. I am using a magnifying glass, about half of the the hairs are brown. the buds seem to be growing still.

Hairs should be about half changed or so. But look at you trics up close are they clear or started to cloud if they are clear not quite ready you want them to cloud not turn yellow or amber. That would be too ripe. Think of it like a fruit. You want to pick it at the right time to get optimum potency.

Thansk for replies, if I get replies lol. Also this plant has a problem, top leaves have a purplish tinge to them as well as the bootom leaves have some purple stripes.

Its a mostly sativa and no where near ready.
They can go up to 15 weeks flowering on some of them.
Try to get your lights as close as you can without burning them.
On most mostly sativa strains expect it to take 10-11 weeks to be finished

are you sure, because I just flushed the plants. Do you really think they are Sativa, the skinny one is like 80% brown hairs. The wide one is like 45%.

best to describe the trychs is they are mostly a white colour, milky, there are very few with a clearer look compared to before, Cannot see any yellow to them but they are white.

no you want your trics to be more anber than cloudy if you want a stoned buzz or more cloudy than amber for a up high speedy buzz!clear trics=immature cloudy trics=up high speedy buzz and amber trics= stoned buzz so when you harvest depends on what kinda buzz you want.

My understanding is this is the most accurate way of telling bud ripeness. Trics.

To a point, but then you will start to lose potency being to ripe like friut starts to rot.

thats why you go for say 70% amber for a stoned buzz or 70% cloudy for a up high buzz!you want no clear preferably!

Yeah I got a 420 scope for X-mas. It's a lot better than the 30X magnifier I was using before. Lotsaluck.

Ic, well, I guess my question should be then, if all the trychs are milky how long could it take for them to turn half amber, because it is 7 weeks and I just flushed, however, if they are going to be a little while I could try this bud blaster feed, a hydro shop gave me a sample. Says it contains SUPER PHOSPHATES, and whatever you need for the last 2 weeks of flowering to increase fruit load and potency.

So could the trychs change by the weekend or should I feed the plants bud blaster. I have been feeding organic up untill now. (do mariijuana buds degrade in appearance once off the plant and dried)

Your plants have at least 4 weeks to go in my opinion before you should cut them down

now that I think about it it does look more sativa. That is so weird, what are the chances i take seeds from a sativa bag. Everything around here seems to be mostly indica. I really wanted to grow sativas though.
