i can't tell what the heck I'm looking at. Are these trichomes clear or cloudy? I can't get my eyes to focus through the jeweler loupe and can't hold my hand steady enough to get a good look!. I'm on day 49 and my friend told me these two varieties typically go 8 to 9 weeks. Tomorrow is day 1 of week 8 and would be a nute change day. Go with another round of nutes or start a flush? What does the collective RIU community think? Thanks
Finishing first grow?

Why flush? unless your running pgrs no need. Feed to last day

Nice canopy can you do a close up of node to see pistals. pistals change color when resin production has stopped hence the end of the cycle is nearing

Still have plenty of pistils that need to turn brown.
I thought pistols were somewhat irrelevant? all along I've been focusing on trichomes color and clarity?
Thanks

Kind of hard to tell but it appears as though there asre still more clear than cloudy trichs and no amber.
I wouldn't say pistil color is irrelevant. They are not the final decider on when to harvest, just an indicator. trich color is obviously important. It is difficult to see exactly what your trichs are doing by your photo.

Cheap microscopes work great. Loupes are good to get an idea on what they are doing but kinda hard to see exactly what is going on. This was taken today with a cheap microscope from Amazon. You can see mostly cloudy, a little clear and no amber in this photo.
FYI: These are fairly cheap and easy to see what is going on with your trichs:

I'll try for a better photo tomorrow when the lights fire up again thanks!
That's what I need!

You can plug them right into your computer and use your computer camera to view them and save the photos on your computer.

Not a week. I'm getting a 10 day vibe off the pictures. Maybe a hair longer. 63days total flower. Somewhere in that spot.
Looks sativa dominant.

Btw. Excellent first grow. I'd smoke it in a heart beat...
Suposedly critical mass and some sort of blueberry. They have some leaf curl, canoeing going on but pretty indica dominate though the pics don't show it!
Thanks!

The older they get. The more wrinkles. Lol. She has ran her life span(almost). If she was human. She'd be 100 years old. You'd be cranky looking too. Lol
Doing good, my man. Nice job. Respect on a well done grow.

Personal preference would be wait until there is mostly cloudy and just breaking into amber trichs, then harvest. No one can tell you how long that would take.
Ewww.....trying to get that out of my head. toking on a 100 year old lady.....Yuck!.....LOL

My guess would be pretty close to Southcross, somewhere around 2 weeks give or take.

Honestly comes down to preference and if you are going to be smoking or processing for concentrates, early cuts mean less degraded thca but might lose out on terpene production. Wih less degraded thca your going to get a clear/peach/golden color extract. Your smoke might even be more energetic, over the heavier couch effect. This is why it all come down to your personal preference.
