Trichome

Thank you to everyone who responded. Do I need to examine the trichomes in the calyx every day? Is Trichome control done every day? There is no amber color yet. Chocolate orange auto flowering day 37.

you're still 90% clear and trichomes take an average of two weeks to mature, so you're probably safe simply checking once again next week, then daily if you see some big progress like 80% milky , just to be sure. "all up" weed is going to be there for you. i'm sure ! 🚀

Some strains won't turn amber - historically "sativas" if that was true or an urban myth i don't know. By this point i'd say the inter-breeding throws all that out the window. A lot of this will be personal preference as to the exact point you harvest. When i grow clones, i harvest the day before i observe what i want. Some development takes place after you cut it from the plant. I'd watch it every day until you are really comfortable at what you are looking at and how it progresses. e.g. at day 40 of 60+, i see a ton of cloudy trichomes, but so much will pack on top of that over time... Any type of fox-tailing or new pistil growth late in bloom can make it seem like it will never be ready. So, take a gander all over the plant -- and at different depths in canopy. if you see large portions are ripe, but canopy seemingly isn't, you are likely ready to harvest, regardless. historical knowledge with the strain helps guide, too. I am much more confident about my choices when i know it's "63 days" give or take going into it... othrwise, i second guess myself just like you the entire time, lol. There's no exact way to know. trichomes are technically the best way, but you can get false readings based on what i explained above. So, use a mix of common sense, pistil color most importantly when possible the trichomes.

Hey :-) Look with a microscope everyday 👌If the trichome heads are about 70% milky and 30% clear, you can start with the flush. If the trichomes are about 70% milky and 30% amber, it is a very good time to harvest 👍🙏🏻 but do not pay attention to the leaves of the trichomes on the buds 👍

Pues viendo el color del tricoma, trasparente, en verdad no es necesario mirarlo todos los días , es recomendable al final mirarlo cada 3/5 días, siendo autofloreciente, yo diría que a esa flor le quedarán más menos 2 semanas pero claro es estimar, pueden ser 10 días más o 18 días más. Un saludo y buenos humos .

Hello buddy.. No not necessary every day but if it's ur first time then do so just so u get a feel of how she develops.. If u got 2mins to spare that is.. Just check from a different bud site each day so not to stress the same area to much.. From 100%clear to 100%milky their isnt really a set time.. Sum sativa strains will not get amber trichs on anywer near wot her indica relatives can produce.. Stay safe n gud luck.. 👍🍀
