Im about 8 weeks into flower and i no my buds are nt the biggest due to my lack of funds but i dont have a microscope and was wondering if i could get any opinions on when to harvest. Most of the hairs have turned color any help would be appreciated. Please any advice will help
I flushed two days ago. Would it hurt to add nutes after flushing and would that really help since im close to the finish
Even this late in my budding process? I thought u were supposed to change to just water the last 2 weeks of ur growin cycle
Last two weeks flush is personal preference. Its usually to prevent a harsh smoke from the added nutrients. The molasses is up to you. Ive seen it work wonders before with some strains, less with others. But if i were you and this was my last two weeks id do straight water
Man your real close. That bud in the first shot looks ready any day, some of the lower buds could go longer. Get yourself a 30x magnifier. They cost about $12, that way you can check trichome color. Otherwise it's pretty much up to you at this point I would personally stick with just water, and go another week maybe 2. Despite your "lack of funds" she's looking dank my friend.
A simple and inexpensive jeweler's loupe is all you need to examine trichomes. Here's an auction selling a 10/20x combo loupe plus a 30x loupe, for $6. Two Jeweler Loupes 10x 20x 30x21mm Magnifying Glass with Storage Cases | eBay
You should have a minimum 7 day flush but your plants look like their close to harvest. I would say about 4 more days of your normal light schedule (12/12) and then 48 hours of no light, then after that harvest them
When you think its done go another full week is a good rule of thumb. Never go by the average liked number of 8 weeks.Unless the plant is screaming I'm done its a waste of all that time.It really is.Then dont frig up the dry,but thats another issue. They do look close.The 2 brighter pics the hairs are fully retracted.One of a few signs they are close if not ready.The pics are good.There seems to be a fair amount of milky trichomes on the darker pic. I would go another week for sure.
