Harvesting time and Jewellers loupe

ASQ_jstarted grow question 5y ago

Hi guys. I would like to know if there any visual tips for examining when its time to harvest? I know that you need to look for the cloudy pistols in order to determine that it is ready. However even with a jewellers loupe I struggle to tell the stage of the trichomes.

I'm a new grower but I've heard to check the trichomes on the bud first not the sugar leafs as they mature first, should be about 90% amber and 10% milky start flushing for 7-10 days for a good high and flush when 100% amber for a more couch feeling 🤔 hope this helps bro 🙏👍✌️ I'm in week 8 flower tomorrow 🌻🙏👌👍 take care bro 👍

has anyone successfully recovered a "drowning plant" in DWC? Solution temp went to high and lowered DO in the water. I've added another airstone and pump to push more o2 in. Any other pointers or similar experiences and solutions?

Are these triconomes ready for a high that also helps to sleep?Photos 1 to 3 = Double Kush Cake Auto from SensiSeeds Photos 4 to 7 = Purple Skunk Auto from SensiSeeds I read to consider triconomes according to the last photo, but also to check how swollen are the flowers and how many pistils are brown... too many parameters, better to ask!

Rosin puck edible ratio. 5 and 10 gram presses.Read they could be 10 percent still left. If i do 50g per cup would be 375mg/tbsp and 22mg/ml. Does that seem like a good dose. If were just for me i would not be afraid to make stronger, but don't want to get anyone uncomfortably stoned. Last batch 100/C seems a bit strong

Hey GD community need help bad Please see pics and tell me what you think of the back left plant. It looks like it is completely dying. And they are still 2-3 weeks away from my anticipated finish. Rest of my tent and strains look fine and auto feeder is working. No malfunction.

OG Kush plant is 47 days old, and won’t stop looking droopy and sad. I’ve tried raising the lights, lowering temps, increasing airflow, plain watering, nothing seems to help. The odd morning it looks perkier then droops again fairly quickly. Any ideas? (See most recent pics)
