frankyboy Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Hey guys, I’ll will be honest with you checking the trichomes is new to me,I’m back after a 4 year break but 10+ years prior to that I didn’t know about it, I was taught by a couple 20-30 yrs my senior and she had another method which was ok but I now know this is the best way. I just bought a little digital microscope that hooks up to phone/computer and it’s unreal. I have put some pics up and would like to know your thoughts. I’m at the start of week 7 of what is usually about an 8 week cycle but these have been way more developed from onset of floweres right through and the look about done and the are big and dense, worth noting at start of flower I turned for no more than a week but had a massive issue with mites and things and they went from healthy to very sickly in a matter of days( I hadn’t watered enough so they dried out abit, then 1 night when I was well lubricated, I noticed the Mites so Stupidly I sprayed them with way too much white oil and almost killed them, I turned them back to 18 straight away surely that couldn’t cause them to develop early Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naycha Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 The trichomes look mostly clear to me. Personal choice when to harvest but I like to wait at least until they are (mostly) cloudy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merl1n Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 I agree with Nay, it's a personal choice thing.Some like a heady stone, so clear to white colour to cloudy colourSome like a heavier head stone so cloudy to brownI NEED a heavy narcotic stoneSo I wait till those droplets on the end of the stems turns burnt toffee brown But again, it's a personal choice thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way they are looking bloody beautiful Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT... I do have to agree with Micmac... Once you start to flush they really don't mature any moreBest to wait till they are how you want them and then flush Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app "…Once you start to flush they really don't mature any more." I say this 'cos I did exactly the same thing as you, once, giving myself a week more maturing guesstimate, only it didn't happen.Once you remove the bulk salts, she uses up her own stores/reserves, but stops maturing at the same rate. So don't be planning on further maturing post final flushing. Merl1n Edited June 1, 2020 by merl1n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micmac Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Few theories there FrankI do it a little different to others Flush them out until it reads the same EC as your water supplyThen I let the medium completely dry After a day or 2 I leave them in dark for a day or 2 then cut down in the darkReason, first rinse medium of nutrients, 2 let plant feed on itself to get rid of nutrients in plant itself,the days of no light allow what's left to seep back to roots3 terpenes seem to be at their smallest at night Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
