Clear or Cloudy?

Mr_ROCKET
Mr_ROCKETstarted grow question 4 years ago
I managed to get a Jeweler’s Loupe and I tried to take a picture with the iPhone. Do you think the trichomes are all cloudy enough? I was in doubt before buying the loupe because the pistils are still nearly 30%/40% brown. I also found very few brown trichomes, about 1-2% total

Hey man, i don't want anyone to click on my diaries I don't care how many people view them. But the re-upload of my very first run (first time vibes it's called I think) is exactly your question. I had the same issue not knowing when to harvest. Was around week 9 from seed. Some wise grower out there told me that first of all, if you're unsure wait another full week. Also, everyone has their own way of judging their harvest time. You could harvest that bud and smoke it and get an effect which might please you. I did exactly that on my second grow that you can find on my profile. I harvested way to early. Also, even though I had effects they were really bad and just not satisfying in comparison to what Ive known from the exact same strain given a bit more time. I would highly suggest to first of all wait at least another week. Keep checking the trichomes on the calyx (the parts where the pistils come out of :) ) and not only on the top bud but on some lower parts too. Depending on your preference, you should aim for some amber trichomes. If you take any picture of calyx trichomes and you have anywhere from 5% to 25% amber, golden trichomes amongst tons cloudy ones , it's time to chop. Much love and peace my friend, sorry for the huge text xD

see where the projection is coming from? that's where you want to judge trichoms (first and last picture here) Kinda place teh loupe near a calyx first, the nlower your head and finally focus easily at this point. As far as those clip-on things and a phone.. good luck... your hands are steadier than mine, i can see, but still tough. The good pics you see on here are with digital microscopes, but .. if it's a hobby go for it :) Anyway, looks a tad early. Think i see 1 amber trichome on the first picture? so, it's got to be early yet. just look at top, and a bit down on a few colas scattered throughtou canopy and make a judgement... once you see some turn a dark amber, you'll know what to look for as far as that.. i see a tranluscent amber in your pick at best.. not 100% sure, and still soem glassy ones. don't try to guesstimate how long.. don't even think about it like that because there is no answer... just keep observing and pretend not to care ... as best you can, lol.. everyone has that anxiety, for lack of a better word, lol. you are not alone.

Just realized most of your pics are on your sugar leafs. Do not go by them. Go what's on the buds themselves.

I'd start your flush now!! The amber is your clue that your slightly past that point of 70/30 for your flush! Look for 20-30% amber for harvest! Good luck and happy Harvesting!!
