Is there an FAQ on the trichome vs. "effect" and harvesting details? I need a microscope anyway, now I have yet another excuse to buy one :-).

A reminder to all those who talk about buying microscopes and jewelers loops, I have a simple 12MP Digital Camera, and ON the closeup setting, you can take a picture, and then zoom in to look at the tricromes, it's worked brilliantly for me. And it can for you too if you already have the camera.

Just trying to save some people a little money if I can.

Looked at the pics, give another week or 2, you may wanna start flushing now. Once it's dry again, if your gonna do a second flush, do so with ice water. It mimics first frost and will put the last couple days of bud production into overdrive. I also recommend leaving them in COMPLETE darkness for 72 hours before harvest.
But the flushing and darkness are optional, just methods used to get a little more weight and potency. But in 2 weeks it should be ready.

And I hate to repeat my post, but it ended up on the bottom of the last page, and I thought people about to harvest should have this

Any help would be appreciated. Strain is Ice....8 1/2 weeks flowering....seems very very small for the time period, but I wonder if they are close to being done since it says it takes 8 to 9 weeks.










First five are the same plant.....

mushroom, that is a confusing plant. buds are nice an ripe but i can't really tell on the trichomes. can you get an up close picture?


noxious, you are a few days, maybe a week from ready.


the way i chop mine is when the top of the plants trichomes are amber the middle will be milky and the bottom clear. so then i get a little of everything.
so even though i might be smoking the same strain from day to day its a different high each time.

Thanks UGA, I've been checking the trichomes but none of them are even the slightest bit amber. At best, they are some where around 75% milky 25% clear still, been that way for two weeks. Is that a normal occurrence? How long after the trichomes start turning milky does it usually take before they start turning amber. I was wanting them to reach the point where they are 10% amber 80% milky and 10% clear.


BTW, the leaves haven't even started to turn yellow yet. I thought during the flowering process the leaves, especially the lower ones will turn yellow from using up all the nitrogen. Would that be due to still feeding them with a 10-54-10 fert, full strength?

yes, switch to pure water. you don't want a bunch of chemicals floating around in the plant when you chop because then you will end up smoking those chemicals.

be patient and watch those trichomes, shouldn't take too much longer.



mister i would guess 6 or 7 weeks. how long have they been flowering, most plants need 8 or 9 weeks.
