hi guys, i have 5 northern lights , in 7 weeks flowering under 600w , i look under a microscope , trichomes look 25% clear 75% cloudy, few more days are enough?
Ya man it doesnt even look like any calyx, just a pile of pistils.
and what do you mean ?? i have to wait?
i start counting from the moment i put 12/12. i will wait a bit to see what happen. thx for the anwserWhen did you start counting flowering? When you changed the lights or when you noticed flowering? Where were you checking the trics? Calyxes or leaves? They don't look that bad to me, they just look like they may have another couple weeks to go at least. Last time I grew NL I am pretty sure they went 9 weeks, for me anyways. Let us know how you make out!
I agree, better to have some amber and the whole plant ripe, rather than loads of clear ones. As you start to see amber, you will notice less and less clear ones. I have never seen the whole plant show 100% milky, I always get a mix. Most of the clear trichomes are gone at about 10% to 20% amber on my White Widow. The purple I grew was hard to tell, I had to just wait for the clear ones to turn to milk on most the bud before harvest because it was very hard to tell what was amber (could be my jewelers loupe).
Some folks here freak out when you tell other growers to wait for amber, but it's a great sign of ripeness. Something you can't find in a science paper.
