How long until harvest?

  1. It really matters what your looking for. I don't see any amber but its all cloudy and you could harvest. How are the lower buds? Might want to do a two stage harvest if the lowers are not ready.
     
  2. Watch for your pistil hairs to recede.
     
  3. Sorry for hijacking but need some advice and getting no replys where i normally post,1st time growing, it will be 7weeks this friday into flower should i start flushing her. The majority of the pistils have turned orange/brown and are receding, i cant tell the difference between clear or cloudy trichomes under 30x loupe (dodgy eyes). i spotted one amber trichome couple days ago but now cant seem to see any. Dnt know weather to start flushing now for 2 weeks or carry on feeding for a few more weeks, does she look ready to anyone. Shes indica and i was hoping for mostly amber trichs when harvesting. 1447928257911.jpg 1447928298362.jpg 1447928329005.jpg 1447928367614.jpg 1447928388856.jpg 1447928412925.jpg 1447928438176.jpg
     
  4. You-I need about 60x to really see what I'm-your supposed to be looking at.. Radio shack sells-sold a 60-100x power handheld microscope that was good for this.. I take several snips from deep in the plant where the light-sun doesn't reach to avoid false light ripened bits.. Inside to the table where I can see.. I like big swatches of amber like bad graffiti on a subway car..
    ToysRus lists several microscopes but I haven't personally tried one..

  5. Cheers BNW il see if i can find a 60x scope, i was in maplin today but never crossed my mind to look. I can see the trichs quite well through the 30x loupe just cant make out if there still clear or turned cloudy but should be able to see when they start turning amber.
     
  6. Looks like they have some swelling to do yet to me.
     
  7. Thats what i thought. There in week 7 of flower now and there heavy sativa dom so thought the would be ready in couple weeks time. Got a proper look at the trichs up close yesterday and there all still clear so guessing shes goin to take a little longer than expected. Probably going to feed for another week then flush for 2 and chop.
     
  8. Sativa dom she may never really amber up like you think she should.. I ran a pair of White Widows from June to Dec and the bitches never did even go full cloudy.. Took them the week before Christmas and it was kickass but it never did color up.. My current Blue Dream is a real skinny fingered Sat Dom and I don't bother looking at her anymore I just leave her till last and harvest..
    Doing the Malted Barley powder every 2 weeks in flower has cut at least a week off my flower times.. It's all finishing faster then I expect..

  9. I was planning to have her chopped dryed and cured for christmas but dont want to chop early as the buds still look like they got some more weight to put on, il just have keep an eye on her and if theres no change in a week i think il start flushing.
