hi everyone,

i'm almost done :) can't wait to :joint: it

the thing is:

i started yesterday the flush and expect to keep flushing ate least for more 12 to 14 days, but one of my ladies is like 90% cover with milky trichomes but with only 5% of brown pistils all the other 95% are still white!! the question is, can i harvest like that? should i trust the trichomes? in another words the trics tell me that it's ready but the bud apperance tells me not

today is day 53 of flowering (middle of the 7 week)
the pic below is the plant i am talking about

thanks
:peace:

i think u should wait till all, or most of the tri's are cloudy / brown / orange depending on the strain.

u could harvest now but the smoke wouldnt be as good as it could be.

what is the strain of the plant in question?.
what lights are you using.

i think the plant needs a few more weeks.
have you started to flush yet?.

btw nice looking plant, any full plant pics?.

LOL... ok I'm almost afraid to hit the post button and ask this ..... but curiosity is getting the better of me. What the hell is that thing plugged into the wall in that pic? Almost looks like some kind of homemade cattle prod.... but I don't recall ever seeing any cows in your backyard pics??? :mrgreen:

looked in your gallery, great looking plants.

they look my 1st grow sk#1 they take a little longer than it says on the seed packet.
mine took 12 weeks 12/12 and it said 8 to 9 weeks on the packet.

great job though,
i would keep feeding for a week or so, maybe pk13/14 then flush for 2 weeks.

you should have some good bud there.
if you keep up the good work.
