Hello ! If your trichomes ( not the pistils ) are almost all amber then you should harvest very soon as the THC peak is when most ofthe trichomes are milky/cloudy. If you checked under a magnifier and saw more than 30% amber trichomes then do a quick flush or not flush to gain time and harvest a soon as possible. I hope it will help you 😁👍
Howdy @shamaN! The most accurate way to see a harvest window and to maximize the euphoric effect is to utilize the Trichome harvesting method. Its unfortunate that your plants Trichome are starting to mature faster than you would like and are already turning all amber, however this does happen time to time. Its very possible to visually go off the plant for harvest as opposed to using trichomes, but this method is not very accurate and while it can lead to buds that visually look more mature they most likely are less potent. If your Trichomes are majority Amber then I would personally harvest fast as possible while you still have some cloudy Trichomes left to receive a hybrid high! Amber Trichomes gives you a body high while Cloudy trichomes is a more mental stimuli. Hope that helps resolve your question ShamaN! Feel free to ask anything else 😎
Hi @shamaN! Yep, it sounds like the harvest window is open. However, make sure she did receive a proper flush with plain pH'd water before doing the harvest, if you don't want the buds to make you cough. In soil, a 5-10 days flush period is absolutely necessary to ensure a sweet and potent flavour. Hope that makes sense, keep us up-to-date and enjoy your harvest 👊
The pH of the soil was 8 because I didn't notice so I bought ph down from general hydroponics to get it to 7-6.5 and been trying to lower it since the 4 day of growth mixing it with the water.
@shamaN,You can do a quick flush , your tabs are supposed to be organic so you don't need to flush during 10 days. Generally mineral feeding is harder to flush so the 10 days are recommended in that case ✌️🏼
@shamaN,If your trichomes are mostly amber then harvest as soon as possible because you will have a narcotic/sedative effect and in the worst case a loose of potency 👍
She's getting a very nice smell, fruity! The plant is getting nice blue color on the edge of the leaves.
The trycomes are white but still not amber, it was my mistake! There's some pistils developing yet!
I think she can hold for more days, and now it's on a 24 hour light basis
@shamaN,Be careful about the 24h schedule , the plant will need more cal mag ( I think it's only mag ) with that schedule and could show deficiencies in late flowering. I would go with 20h ✌️🏼😁
Hey Shaman,
why did you start with an automatic for your first grow? Your seedlings look great. Gl for your first grow.
I'm in week 5 with my first grow. if u want to change some experience feel free to contact me.
basically when there are no clear trychomes left she's ready for the chop. she's ready bro. i'll drop by in a few weeks after the cure to grab a few tokes 🙏 🚀
