Help to understand if triconomes are milky enough

  1. Howdy fellow growers of the world :)

    May I get your opinion for the level of maturation of these 2 auto plants?
    The purpose is to get something that will help to sleep.
    I took the best photos I could with my mobile phone

    Photos 1 to 3 = Double Kush Cake Auto from SensiSeeds
    Photos 4 to 7 = Purple Skunk Auto from SensiSeeds

    I have the feeling that the Kush Cake is more ripe, even if it is at least 2 weeks younger than the Purple Skunk

    I found one picture about triconome maturation and also read about checking how swollen are the flowers and how many pistils changed to brown, but I rely on your expertise to evaluate all parameters

  2. For sleep let them go until near dead. You want tons of Amber not just milky.
    Buy a Microscope as without one your just guessing.

  4. Take a few tiny fingernail clipping size samples from where the light does NOT shine. Go inside to a table and chair and see what you really have.
    I aim for 5-10% Amber and it's still on the speedy side to me.

  5. BTW, I discovered that what they write on the seeds about the flowering weeks is not matching in my case (I am still happy for the quality of the plants)
     
  6. It seldom is. Lots to factor in when growing.

  7. Amber trics are more like apples come harvest ..here and there at first, rare to ripen all at once

    and theres nothing wrong with a sequential harvest allowing the light in,
    lower down to clip again in 2 weeks or so

    cheers

  8. Thanks to both first!
    I forgot to specify that for sleeping effect, I mean that my final purpose is that will help to sleep deep and long, but also that in beginning it makes you happier and calm, then starving, then sleepy.
    To get this, do I need to have 10% of them on amber colour?
     
  9. iPhone can take pics and zoom in as well.
     
  10. Also android, these photos were taken with mobile camera + zoom :)
     
  11. If you don't have at least some amber it's simply not done. 5% minimum.
