Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone knows why my buds will turn brown too soon. Its my third batch of this pot so I know the buds need to get WAY bigger. I'm only on my 4th week of fertilizing out of the 7 weeks (Gen. Hydroponics). Right now I am leeching them all very good with just water. Any suggestions??
As long as the resin colour is still clear i wouldnt worry Resin colour is a more accurate way to tell of ripeness
High Get a magnifying glass an watch the tricones..They will get big an puffy like they are pregnant..When they burst open an let the resin out, It's time for harvest.. Ah, the taste of freshly harvested buds..Yum, Yum...
Radio shack sells a great handheld magnifier with a light. 30x or 100x adjustable, either way a must have for serious growers
I agree that the trichomes are the best indicator of ripeness. If you wait until the trichomes burst though they will be past peak ripeness. Depending on high wanted harvest when 70-80% trichomes are white/cloudy for up high and later for sleepier high.
