Hi all, I have been in flower noe for about 8wks and using cfls, indoor, soil with bagseed. 2nd generation clones, 6.1 ph water with 12-55-6 / .10 chleated iron.
I am looking at trichromes from a 100x loupe, and they seem to be 100% cloudy, a few are like 90%. only 1 or 2 golden( light gold) trichromes I have found. they seem to be quickly resining up.
I havent given nutes in a week, but most of the 9 are getting real close, and im abou to flush with mollasses soon, but not sure on how long ittakes trichromes to start turning thru the colors? I want a NICE couchy stoned buzz. Im not a uppy buzz liker. Any thoughts on final preperations on this, increasing buds size or yeild? when to start flushing?

BTW, I have know the 2 ways of telling harvest time, 1 being hairs other is trichromes.

My hairs are about 15-20at most % reddened, the trichromes are almost all cloudy, FEW clear and less than a dozen light gold, no darker amber yet tho

thnks all. I ll get some pics up. thi litle MICRO clon2flower grow in a Computer desk with cfls had gome great!!!:blsmoke:

Just let it go until the trichs are mostly amber. I have heard you can let it go too far, but I have no idea where that line is. I'd go with 60% or 70% amber for what you want. I'm the opposite, I like the up buzz and harvested right where you are now. It was great, but I am gonna let this grow go a bit longer than last time.

is there an average,,, like usually a week till amber from clouded? Im kinda basing my flush and mollassess on the trichromes so i dont have a plant thats ready to be harvested without being flushes or the flush not able to help/.

heres some pix

Razr isa a size reference. the planst had kinda skinny leaves so I am guessing this bagseed was some type of fast vegitating sativa, seems to branch very well when cut, makes a nice sharp tangy skunky smell. lemony kinda or pin-sol ish:-?

You can't go by a "timeline". Go by the trichs. Rather than flushing, you might want to consider just stopping the nutes for the last 3 weeks, and feed only water and molasses. Let the plant use up the remaining nutes naturally, and use up the majority of the chlorophyll as well. Just a thought.
