Trichome Stage Identification Help
CanadaGrownstarted grow question 4 years ago
First grow, got a cheap digital microscope. Just looking for thoughts on what I'm seeing ie. milky, clear, amber. I'm thinking it looks mostly clear with some turning milky.

You are spot on, they are mostly clear. Just be sure the buds are done gaining weight before getting ready to harvest.

Hey CanadaGrown!
Yes you’re right with them being clear and a little milky, right on track! I would say harvest window opens when they are all cloudy to 30% amber. More cloudy trichs will produce more of a head high while more amber produces the couch lock effect.
Good job for getting a microscope and doing it the correct way!
Happy harvesting 🌱

Ready for the chop? Day 59 of floweringDoes it still need more time? Hairs look 75-90%(depending on what cola you look at) orange and trichs look about right. Not sure if I'm seeing new pistols or their just kinda folding inwards. My preference is to harvest it for a nice balanced effect. Just a little couch lock.

When to harvest?Hi friends,
Would you please help me in judging her status and estimating when to harvest? I've read a lot about growing and when to harvest, but in real life I'm not sure at all. I'm anxious about not being able to tell and harvest too early or too late.
Thank you!

Trichomes colors analysisI'm on day 50 of flowering and started checked the trichomes. I can see that they are not fully white (opaque) yet, but at the same time there are several amber/brown ones. I was planning to harvest about 10 days from now, what do you think?

Pollination worriesThere is a bee infestation outside and there are supposedly male plants in my area in the yards around. I found 3 bees on my plants in the tent that snuck in the house somehow. Should I worry about pollination/ slow growth this late in bloom as an autoflower? 8th week from seedWeek 7

Did I give too much fertilizer??So I decided to add in some soluble fertilizers. I gave it a 1/4 tsp (50% of recommended dosage) a couple days ago and noticed some yellowing of new growth on the bud sites. Is this a sign of excess potassium and phosphorus? I gave it Fox Farm Open Sesame (5-45-19).

What's going on here?Some buds on both strains are showing this look. It isn't widespread but is on 3 of 5 plants. Close to harvest and isn't a major deal but do want to know for future grows. My grow looks good. I will update my diary this weekend. We have to keep those buds looking good.
