Steg77started grow question 4y ago
So im questioning whether it's done or not im closer to 9 weeks now and to be honest when growing outside I wait as long as the weather permits so looking for amber I feel as tho I'm blind lol but I took some pics with a magnifier app and im hoping someone can give there opinion

Well looking at your diary I see you are using too much nitrogen in flowering. Light can likely be closer, can't take pictures with grow lights on. Plants looks done or close in some pictures and in others it looks like a few weeks still. So this is hard to answer accurately with information.

Need to see mostly milky trichomes (not clear) and that is usually when most of the pistils look old.

Hi there,here’s my rule of thumb for harvesting period.During that time,the leaves will show deficiencies, discolouration ,yellowing and most of the white pistils become orange.The best method is using 60x microscope and check trichomes colour on buds.If trichomes are mostly milky/cloudy about 80/90 % and fill with some amber colour, it’s the time to harvest.Flushing or not flushing is your choice.Happy growing... ✌️

Lack of trichomesAnybody knows why this last girl doesn't product trichomes ? Buds are tall and seem consistent but not sticky nor smelly. Half week 13 and her leaves are turning yellow and dying.
When I check with the microscope (×60-100) I have to get deep in the bud to find some.Week 13

White pistils close to harvestHello growers! Thanks for your help. So I'm approaching harvest (yellowing leaves, mostly milky trichomes, fat buds) but many pistils are still white. Flowering is supposedly 7-9weeks, I just entered week 9. Waiting for more amber trichomes, should I wait to have orange pistils?Week 16

What stage are my trichromes in? (see diary for photo's)Pistils are mainly brown, but judging from my photo's I'd say the trichromes are still transparent to maybe slightly milky? The pictures from my phone aren't perfectly sharp though, and it's my first growth as well, so I'm not really sure. Could anyone with a trained eye tell?5y ago
