VISC Titanium 8 weeks on sunday.

VISC says there ready at 7-8 weeks and I will be at 8 weeks on sunday. They are looking good. The leaves are turning yellow and drying up, the plants are starting to bend and fall over from the weight of the buds. Under the microscope trichs are 10% clear 90% cloudy but no amber yet. Anyone grown this strain before do the trichs ever go amber? should I chop on sunday anyways? sorry guys no pics.

Personally I'd wait until the trichomes have turned..the 7-8 weeks is only a guide..and if you are growing outside, this varies with your geographical latitude...the rate at which night turns to day and vice versa affects the ripening.. For example... I fooled my plants into an earlier and shorter ripening time by moving them in and outside a month before the normal flowering season but with longer periods of darkness of about 14/15 hours..once normal flowering of the other plants had started I stopped doing this and left them outside to finish off naturally.. But by doing this I've shortened the flowering period from 9-10 weeks down to 8 weeks, and have them about 6 weeks early...although the harvest weight is reduced.. So, with tinkering, these guide figures will vary... The further north you are the longer the flowering season...

Thanks for the input malc01m. I guess I should mention these are indoor growing in coco with mygreenplanet nutes. I know everyone says the trichs are what matters but the leave are yellowing drying up and dying most hairs are orange and the plants cant stand up straight.

hmmm..If your roots are in good health and the pH is correct (electro-conductivity not too high?)...humidity around 35-40% ?? Water smells good? ... Still the flowering period is only a guide..and many other small factors will change this...how much nutes the plants are getting will change this.. You say the fan leaves are yellowing which suggests a nute problem (probably too late to fix that) but if the flowering heads are still green and growing, I'd stick with it..monitor the colas' growth. Tie up / support the stems...and wait a little longer, if you can

The water is good ph is good went really easy on the nutes. Temps r usually 75-80f humidity 40-45% during the day. The plants look done to the eye but not under the microscope.
