Sounds like a good plan. For your 60% clear trichs I'd probably let them cloud up some more and see how ambers start to roll in. No rush if you already have some good bud down and drying/curing right?
Yea ha I guess just bit impatient, always try and find excuses to harvest asap. But want sleep stuff so yea I'll leave it couple more days...... If I can haha
It's always so tempting and I often have harvested earlier than optimal, but not necessarily "early." I think strains genetic makeup have more to do with the end result of a plant in the sense of: is it going to be couchlock, sleepy, energetic... but also harvesting at the appropriate time will enhance what they are supposed to do. Hence a big reason for letting my White Lavender plant go so long last time in flower. 12 weeks to try and let her swell, but also to get a real nice sleep inducing effect.
This is Bella, she is 80% cloudy 10% clear 10% amber roughly. Pic doesn't do justice as she is soooo frosty.
harvested another girl (Hope) she was starting to foxtail, all nugs from bottom to top are about the same size and smells amazing (this is from clone not seed). Other pic is a weird bud on another girl, it has a flat top instead of pointed.
Looks good! The second photo looks like a self topper or something. Somebody else had a bud that did that and I thought it was cool.
More photos tonight! Harvesting another tonight as well which will leave 3 in grow room that still have a lot if swelling to do (seeds for next lot are already planted so might have to harvest last 3 early . Peace
Nice bro, Your plants look lovely I noticed you were talking about the crappy eBay microscope 100x on an earlier page.. I'm not sure what exactly you are using it for trichs or mites but 40x one i have seem to work the best, I see nice and clear like 1080p Sometimes its just the way you hold/distance them. I have a cheap 40x like this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/40x-Magnifier-With-LED-Light-Jewelry-Metal-Magnifying-Glass-Loupe-EMAGN2540-/141570779146?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item20f646a80a I use it to check spider mites and so on, But i think 60x or even 50x would be perfect.
Thanks brother! Will give that scope a try its exactly the same brand and type as my first one except mine was x30 and I didn't like it. x50 would prob be perfect. The one I'm using is a long pen looking one with led light on end.
And for reference I use this, mostly near it's lowest setting of 60x http://www.amazon.com/Carson-60X-100X-MicroMax-Microscope-MM-200/dp/B000P8AUMU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1434344753&sr=8-1&keywords=100x+microscope&pebp=1434344730245&perid=3ECD9AA5E22D410FA3A7 I have successfully looked at things at it's 100x claimed capacity, but it requires a much more stable hand and a very small field of view. 60x is still more than enough to easily determine what the trichomes color and swelling look like.
Yea that's more like my x100 pen one. And spot on with needing a stable hand ha you move it half a mm and can't see a thing. Def gonna try x50-x60 as you guys are suggesting. I'll give my old ones away as they will be better then none for others
first pic is bud off "bubblegum" clone but after smoking it I'd say its lemon variety not bubblegum. Second pic is top bud of Bella (girl I'm harvesting tonight.
Planted new seeds to soon 3 have sprouted but the 3 girls in grow room aren't ready to harvest yet will have to harvest early, trichs still clear
