That looks as ready as it's gonna get to me. You start flushing already?
Ty for your answer, started flushing 4 days ago. I was hoping to see a few amber trichs, I don't see any in my pic or my eyes are failing me. lol.. Trimmed about a 1/2 off the bottom and after a quick dry its some killer weed :). Anyone see any amber trichs in my pic?

If you have a closeup feature on your camera, you can see the trics yourself. I have a 12 MP camera and on closeup, I can see the trics like I was looking through a microscope.

See, I just harvested tho, so these pics make me kinda sad :cry:.

At least until she's done drying.:weed:

But from what I can see, you have a BEAUTIFUL Indica there. She just need a few more weeks. You'll be able to tell when she's done as compared to now. I remember the feeling of not wanting to miss the peak opportunity, and still found myself harvesting a week late cause I had to flush x2 and ice flush x1.

If you can get better pictures, upload those. Also, what lights are you using?
I mean I know what trichomes look like, and I know for a fact that I have 4 weeks and 2 days before I should even think about harvesting but I'm wondering the amount of time it takes for Trichomes to mature fully.

In fact you don't need a camera to see the trichomes you just need it to see the amount of amber in the trichs to determine harvest day.

So from the day that trichomes start to the day they finish, my question is CAN trichomes start and fully mature in 4 weeks?

Do trichs mature in 4 weeks hmmm?
I don't know that I can fully answer that, since the environment they're in effects the development....
You'll just have to wait and see ;-)

I think my buds are ready. Most of the trichomes are milky white, some are turning amber and some are still clear. So I think that it is time to harvest. But I just watered with nutrients yesterday and want to a flush before I harvest. I was waiting because I thought that all my trichomes needed to be amber so buds were not ready. But after reading lots of post I came to the conclusion that they are indeed ready. So my dilemma is what about the flushing of the plants for riding the taste vs making the buds over ripe and losing potency. Any thoughts or comments would be helpful. Thanks

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Many people say flushing is unnecessary. I know this may come as a shock to some but there is just as much evidence for it as there is against it. Read the thread by riddleme titled "the truth about flushing"
