Do These Trichomes Look Brown To You?

  1. I think they look like they are turning brown, just wanting a second opinion. Picture is a little blurry taken with a cell phone with a pocket microscope.

  3. If you want amber trichs wait until all hairs have sunk into calyx and are red or brown. Once they have completed sinking the buds will swell. Wait until 1 week from the sinking of hairs now harvest. Watching trichs is tricky....trichs form and mature die and new ones form mature and die. The hairs sinking combined with calyxs swelling is right before plant tries to reproduce itself in seed form. If u wait too long she will turn to seed

    Like I said wait to he hairs to turn red or brown an sink into the calyx. Harvest the tops first. You should be flushing now unless your organic either way no more nutes u are close in the next 3 weeks you will be finished. In about a week harvest tops. Wait a week harvest middles. Wait another week harvest bottoms or let bottoms seed themselves out. Just plain old water from here. Forget the scope unless u want peak trich THC then harvest tops now. Wait week closely watching trichs harvest when 85% milky 10% amber 5% clear. If u want old school couch lock feel watch hairs...yield will be smaller harvesting at peak THC. Potency will be less harvesting for couchlock and yield. Most say 50\\50 amber/milky trichs. Ur past harvest tops now. Watch middles u want ying yang looking trichs half clear/half milky looking trichs each trich.... Just like ying/yang sign...start chopping now!!! Harvest in stages

  9. Thank you for your response, not the answer that they wanted lol torn between being out and needing medication and wanting it to be the best it can be.

  10. If u didn't flush get container at least 1 gallon put air stone in it chop branch u want to smoke. Slide stem into container don't let bud get wet....turn on aquarium pump. Bubble changing water 3x a day for 3 days. Now take and hang branch clipping off all fan leaves... Let dry till u can bend stem and here a snap then finish trimming leaves off and jar for cure.
     
  11. Let's make this sound easier OK? Any trich that's clear/black/shiny looking is immature... Clear/milky like each one 50\\50 is what u want for peak head high.....mostly milky for more head than body....50\\50 milky amber for in between kinda head trippy but couch locked too. Anything over 50% amber and its nighty night! Hope that helps. Harvest a few buds in different trich stages...dry them out and sample...then u know or future grows

  12. That's not exactly true. The only way a female can produce seeds is if a male is present to pollinate the female or the female turns Hermaphroditic due to stress and pollinates itself.
     
  13. Stress from nearing death. Seeds get a clue its the life cycle of a cannabis plant it nears finishing it starts stressing thinking it will die off it reproduces it self
