Hi everyone this is my second northern light I'm thinking I have a week left on it I would like a second opinion cheers guys
Unless you have a photo of the Trichomes you will get no answers. Are all trichomes cloudy or clear / as soon as I see amber trichomes I harvest Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Hi thanks for replying yeah they all look cloudy most of the hairs are orange now shall I wait till I see the trichomes turn a little amber or for all the hairs to turn orange thank you
Looks awesome but I'd give it a bit longer until your fan leaves start to fade, they still seem pretty dark green. Flush the plant with plain water from now on and the plant will start to use up the nutrients it's got stored in its leaves. In the mean time your buds will get fatter as your bud uses up those nutes and the fan leaves will start to turn lighter green and almost brown. If say another couple of weeks of doing that before I would harvest. Just my 2c but your girl looks amazing. Good work Sent from my SM-N960F using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Thanks blazeman bud yeah thank you for your recommendation mate I started flushing last week so I think I'm on the right track glad to hear it from someone else cheers yeah looking forward to them fattening up oh yes she is very frosty and thanks again definitely going to leave it another week or 2 then happy days
OK cheers for that yeah I looked into the clear and amber trichomes different effects it has on the high you get from it think I'm going to get a magnifying glass tomorrow so I can get a proper look at them cheers for the reply
Also don't forget the trichomes will continue to ripen as they are drying. The material will still be alive for a certain amount of time, and then you have air/light exposure ect, which causes degradation. Its really best if one could dry them in the dark, and really good ventilation. I myself would much rather have them earlier, than later. You may also take some if all cloudy, and leave some for some more days, then compare, and if you do another run, you will know what you like best. Sometimes cloudy goes to amber overnight, and most of the time if they get overripe, they lose their pungency, and punch. Ive seen 1 day make a difference.
Yeah thanks mate I'll bare that in mind all my other ones I've dried in the dark for 5-7 days I leave the smaller leaves on to curl up around the bud when drying too
Yeah thanks I've dried my other ones in a dark cupboard for 5-7 days with the smaller leaves on so they curl round the bud with some ventilation I think I may be taking her down in the next day or so then by the looks of the picture chart
