Trichome ripeness
TheGoods
started grow question 4y ago
How do these trichomes look? I see some amber, though am not sure whether they are just damaged trichome tops or actually amber. Thoughts?

looks like all milky , no clears, few ambers, the optimal potency (for me) , you're just about ready to chop as far as i can tell. Hope this helps growmie ! 🚀

If you have 98-99% brown pistils, your plant is ready. Once you get 100% brown pistils, THC breaks down into CBD and CBN quite quickly.

Getting there. If you haven't started flushing I would consider doing plain ph water for 7 to 10 days then I would be thinking of chopping

I noticed this on one of the leafs. It’s in its third week of veg. I’m not sure if it’s auto flower seed then it should be close. I noticed this on the leaf a reddish thing forming. This is my first grow so. Any insight or help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Gradual light decline from 18/6 or instant 12/12 switch pros and cons
So I’m going to switch my plants from 18-6 to 12-12, was wondering if there’s a difference from gradually declining the light period or just making an instant switch in relations to growth of the plant in terms of it making a final stretch and final bud size? Thanks everyone

Discoloration progressing from old fan to colas, is this a concern/requires action?
I have some discoloration happening to OB5,more pics in week 6. Started first on few old fan leaves with yellow & brown/purple patches and now is occurring to the several of the colas and is spreading to more fan leaves. Water pH may have been in the 5-6 range last week. HlpPlz

Wondering when to stop nutes and start flush
Am I far from harvest ? :p looking good in latest pics but still seems skinny in person ! Also if I choose to harvest top half first do I need to re add nutes when I put the bottom half back in light or will an auto not survive this kind of trick! ?

Not many trichomes, almost time to harvest
This plant doesn't have nearly as many trichomes as my other of the same strain and age. I can see some with a magnifying glass but not with the naked eye. From the color of the trichomes I see it's almost time to harvest. Are there any last minute things I can or should do?

Hello, I think i need again your knowledge to understand an issue I might have. One of the plants (the one I planted one week later) has definitely flowering but it has not developed a main cola. Would you please let me know what could be the issue?
