help

hello im growin blue cheese for the first time and i am due to cut them down tommrow but i have just had a good look at them and 2 of them the tops of the plant the hairs on them are all still whit but on the other 3 the hairs are mostly browny orange now and they look slighty different to the the other two would you carry on and cut them down ?????????????? i hope this makes sense i now pics would be better but i dont no how to do it any help would be great thanks

so the ones with the mostly white hairs let them go another couple weeks, u should be harvesting by trichomes (best way)

so do white hairs mean the plant is not ready ?

if the majority of the hairs look 75% or more orange, and the buds have swelled then you are getting close. how long have they been in flower for?

and to post a piccy just click reply twice, it will take you to a reply page, scroll down and click manage attatchments and from there you upload your photo's. would be better for people to determine for you if you could post some...

no, the hairs are not ur best guage to know when ur plant is ready for harvest, examining the trichomes with a hand held microscope or mag of 30X or better is ur best bet...no most all have white hairs mixed in with colored when ready to harvest, but u really can't tell by hairs alone because every strain is different.

im at the flushin stage now with just water could i go back to given the plant food or shall i just harvest them i normaly grow ak and i think i will go back to that

again, we have NO way of telling where ur plants r at, harvest or no...but I wouldn't go back to fertilizing unless you had weeks to go, it "sounds" like ur 3 plants may be ready to chop & ur other 2 "may" have a couple more weeks, again, only you can judge that by checking the trichomes or if u want to go by hairs & they are all the same strain, either chop the 3 & wait on the other two OR post some pictures so we can chime in on "by sight" if we "think" they're ready.
