frshark Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 This is the product of an Auto seed I received as a freebie a while back. I'm not familiar with the strain, but the flowers look unlike the bag crap I have been producing in the past. Given so many of the white hairs have turned brown, I am wondering if this is ready to harvest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy420 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Bit hard to tell from those pics but from what i can tell still has a lil way to go. This pic may help u. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veronicanna Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 How many times have the white hairs turned brown? Once they turn (white to brown) 3 times then you might be ready.How long have they been in flowering? They do not look ready to harvest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stoned Jester Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 how many weeks has it been growing for? most auto's are between 7-10 weeks ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spider_b Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 looks pretty spindly would be hoping it thickens up heaps yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frshark Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 It's been growing for about 12 weeks now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCompletion Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Ozzys diagram will answer your question. But you'll need a magnifying lupe to see the trichomes that close. Good little investment if you're serious about when to harvest at the perfect time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stoned Jester Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 it strikes me a bit odd, if that is an auto, 12 weeks should be plenty enough ... unless it's bad genetics or not quite an auto 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max_headroom Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 If you can't find a magnifying lupe get yourself an old pair of binoculars or a kids microscope. Take the eye piece out of either of these and you will be able to magnify enough to get a clear idea of the color of your trichomes. SLR camera with a zoom will probably get you a a decent look as well...I am not an expert in these matters but it does look likes it needs a couple of weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louise Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) Budding and flowering are the same thing... both will begin once the nights are long enough to trigger flowering... somewhere between the end of January and the middle of February, depending on the particular cultivar. With regard to old SLR lenses, I used a 24mm macro lens for many years, just remove lens from camera and turn it around so you are looking through the wrong end of the lens. This will give you a magnification factor equal to the length of the lens... eg a 24mm lens used backwards produces 24X magnification. Don't use a lens that you may want to use again for photography... you will undoubtedly get some resin on the lens and this will mess up the coating on the glass.
