Day 100 - how much longer?

Day 100. Still no amber trichomes in the calyxes, and the leaves aren’t showing any signs of yellowing yet. What do you think - how much longer should I wait? Should I start the 2-week flush now, or keep feeding with Hybrids and PK?

I wouldn’t start a blind “2-week flush” just because it’s day 100. The plant doesn’t read the calendar 😅 If the calyx trichomes are still mostly clear/cloudy with no amber, she simply needs more time. From the photo she looks healthy and still capable of finishing, so I’d keep feeding moderately rather than suddenly starving her. I’d also avoid hammering her with PK this late — more isn’t automatically better. Watch the trichomes on the calyxes, not sugar leaves, and look at overall flower maturation. Once you’re seeing mostly cloudy with the amount of amber you want, you’re in the harvest window. Yellowing/fade can happen, but it isn’t a requirement for ripeness. Also, a long pre-harvest flush isn’t necessary for producing clean-burning flowers.

Hey 👋, The correct harvest window depends on your personal preferences. If you want to achieve the maximum THC level from your plants, then harvest with the largest proportion of milky trichomes. If you want to harvest more mass, then feel free to harvest with up to 30% amber trichomes. It won't be long now, I think you have a maximum of 2 weeks left — which means it's time to start flushing. I hope that helps, enjoy 👊🍀👍

hi Growmie..... I think you need to be patient for at least another 10-14 days...... Check the trichomes better on the buds and not on the sugar leaves. I would wait until 20% of the trichomes are amber and the rest are milky. I would continue fertilizing for another week and then just water with pH-adjusted water...... Good luck Growmie 🍀

Give her a week or two and you should see a good portion of milky trichomes and some ambers . not all trichome's mature in correlation with stigma maturation. most the time it is true they they can be a good indication of when to start looking.. often though if a strain is suspiciously white haired i start to truck the trichomes more than the hairs as indicator. Sometimes a bud is so covered in dark hairs and no ambers it gets harvested anyway. Does look like slight re-veg. check for light leaks and stuff like that. i found one today caught my control with is screen on again for some reason even though i though it was off. One of my lights was emitting only far red light when switched off. i had to add another timer to them to shut power completely to the lights after their daily schedule starts and ends.

lots of long white hairs, so it's not even time to scope, yet. Lots of room to fatten up. As AsNoriu said, only the trichomes on the calyxes matter as far as that goes.

Half of your photos are with sugar leaves, you don't check maturity of trichs on any kind of leaf or stem, those mature way faster. Check calyxes, middle of bud, not top cola.
