Ready to Harvest? (Trich pics) Please take a look.

What's going on guys?

Just wanted to get you guys opinion on whether or not my Sensi Seeds Skunk #1 Auto is ready to get the chop yet or not? I am 66 days from sprout, which is close to the breeders time specs. I began flushing with AN Final Phase this past Wednesday. I would say around 50-60% of pistils have turned orange, and for the most part, my trichs are cloudy. A few clear ones here and there and a few ambers here and there as well, the plant "looks" about done, it has gotten pretty crispy... Anyways, here are some pics of the plant and some trichome pics as well. If you guys could point me in the right direction and give some opinions I would greatly appreciate it, I am thinking if they are not done right now they are very close to being done.

- The trichome pics are from various sugar leaves all around the plant to try to get as good a sample as I can. Please let me know what you guys think, I would greatly appreciate it!






















Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, I am beginning to get excited, I have two more Skunks with it, that are probably a few days behind these, and then 3 more Sensi NL's that are about 3-4 weeks behind the Skunks...
Thanks very much fellas!

7-10 days.....

when they're all pretty much cloudy is a good time they will amber up a bit after the chop

Oh wow okay, I thought I was a little bit closer than that. Alright, well I will be keeping a close eye on them throughout the next week, the absolute latest I would like to harvest would be 7 more days, I kind of prefer a more "up" high anyways. Hope I did not start the flush too early....

Thanks very much for the replies guys, I really appreciate all of the help. I will keep checking and posting more pics, can't wait to get these girls down and make room for the NL's!

Do not check trics on the sugar leaves, you wanna check the calyxes. The trics on the leaves mature much faster, you could have all cloudy trics on your leaves and the majority of your bud trics could be clear.. Looks like you got another week or more to go to me. Be sure to post harvest pics.

Okay cool, didn't know that. I'll check out the trics on the calyxes today and see how they look. What would be the best way to do that? I have a USB microscope, so I kind of have to have my pc close by when checking them.

Yep, I didnt know that either, good stuff man.

Just checked the trichs on the lowest branch to the ground and they actually look pretty close to the sugar leaves, mostly all cloudy except a few clears still, very few ambers though, and that was the very bottom branch!

Honestly, the smell is getting so bad at this point, I'm thinking they are going to have to come down by Wednesday or Thursday, these are some extremely foul smelling little girls, definitely most pungent I've ever ran.
My PHAT filter and 5 ONA pro gels have finally met their match....

Why are your leaves crispy instead of fading yellow?
I think you may have overfed it> still looks great though.

I had a pretty bad cal mag issue a few weeks ago while I was away for a few days, i had to flush it and it improved.

Are you sure??? Could it be possible you had a salts buildup or Ph problem that your flush corrected?

That's entirely possible as well, could have been. It was one of those things for sure, the main consensus I got was either calcium deficient or a calcium lockout due to salt buildup, it jumped onto one of my NL's as well so I flushed all of those too, the other two NL's look great. My FFOF has been very acidic from the start, so I've been fighting that. Had a ton of bark in it, probably won't run it again.
