harvest time? weird pattern on leaf?

[Overgrowtho]

These buds still have mostly white pistils but I saw at least one bud with amber trichomes. Week 8 just finished. Wedding cake. Keep going another 2 weeks or so??

This vegging plant had a weird discoloration pattern. What could it be?

Not even close

Easily 3+ weeks and a pound

You're right! 8 weeks from flip or 8 weeks +10-14 days from flip?

You don't really count pre flowering in the flowering cycle. Breeders want to keep their numbers and days down you know for marketing purposes.

The one affected plant looks like thrips damage.

I'd restart

 

[Overgrowtho]

It's not thrips I think. Idk but the plant is healthy nonetheless. I had this before and it went away. Not sure what.

8 weeks from flower. Okay will keep her goin on and on...

What strain is it? Do you know the lineage?

Some strains are more prone to this form variagation than others.

Not ready, still very white pistils. I notice all the tips are burnt, maybe a little heavy on the nitrogen. 3-4 weeks.

I do notice the weird discoloration on the picture of the vegging plant. It does somewhat look like Thrip damage, but I don't see that spit shine they leave. Look along the veins of the leaves, especially the undersides. Thrips are small, narrow, about 1/10 inch long. If you have any other ladies nearby, check them for similar discoloration or signs of thrips.

It's on two plants. One blue cheese one wedding cake. Cloned.

I didn't see any thrips under leaves. There is 6 pants overlapping but its only exhibited on 2. Other 4 have no sign. I'm not too worried as the plants are healthy. Very curious. Two strains. Weird variagation.

Heavy on the nitrogen meaning put less right?

Minimum 4 weeks, looks more like 5+ because they aren't showing any signs of maturity from that picture. It doesn't really matter how long it has been already, just that they need more time to actually finish properly. I'm not sure if the amber trichome you found was on a sugar leaf or on the actual bud, but it was surly amber from damage not from maturity. You shouldn't even be thinking about looking at trichomes this early on.

Before even thinking about harvesting take a look at this and see if your plant is actually showing you all these signs.


The signs of ripeness are pretty standard.

First a few of the pistils begin turning color and start receding. Your plant is just starting to ripen. Depending on the strain you could still have two months to go. We're just starting this journey.

Two to four weeks later you'll notice that most of the pistils(>80%) have now changed color and curled back into the bud. It's frosty, way bigger than it was a few weeks ago, and smells dank! It's time, right? Not a chance killer. Patience is a virtue

Over the next 2-3 weeks it doesn't look much different, maybe a little more swelling in the calyxes, and the rest of the pistils change over, but the stems ars starting to bend under the weight of the buds. These ladies are putting on weight and now the buds are doing their final ripening.

Now you begin looking at trichomes, on the calyx not leaves, and harvest according to your preference. When looking at trichomes it’s essential to look at them from the side. The bulbous heads can magnify the opaque stalk under it. Looking from the side allows you to more accurately see the condition of the resin in the trichome head.

There is still no rush to harvest, the window just opened, and you have several weeks before you MIGHT start having to think about it possibly beginning to get too ripe. It takes WEEKS for plants to mature not days.

It is very easy to harvest a plant to early. It is very hard to harvest a plant to late. I’ve never seen someone accidentally wait too long.

Today my 1000x wifi microscope arrived. Here they are close up.

So I had one wedding cake done in 7 weeks, earlier, this one looks like will be done in 9 or 10 perhaps judging by white pistils. (Its in a bigger pot and much fatter).

Although as you can see, there are substantial amber trichome heads now.

Underside of variegated veg leaf seems normal I think.

Thoughts?

 

[Overgrowtho]

How to my trichs look?

 

[Wizzlebiz]

How to my trichs look?

Like they are on the sugar leaves and not the buds.

Don't go off of the leaves. The only trichomes that matter are on the buds themselves which are not developed yet.

are u looking at the top of the plant or leaves ? With the scope you should take a few spots of the BUDs and better to look at the 2nd 3rd node down

 

[Overgrowtho]

Looking at the buds on the top for these photos. I'm running scrog so most buds are near top.

Yes they will always be at a Riper finish before anything below from the light being so close same in nature the Cherry's on the top of the tree where the best I always climbed the tree for them lol anyways all I'm saying is the lower ones u should be concerned with otherwise u risk harvesting to early

 

[Thundercat]

You’ve been given a few direct answers here about how much time your plants have left, that you seem to be skipping past.

Those plants have several weeks to go, stop fucking with them trying to look at the trichomes a month early and just keep them alive and healthy until they are actually ripe.

 

[Detroitwill]

Truth! Relax, don’t be so anxious to harvest. I know it’s hard but waiting to really Finnish will be more satisfying than realizing you were wrong.

It's sort of impossible to know without using yellow/blue sticky traps. This should always be installed either way for monitoring and staying ahead of a possible upcoming pest outbreak in soil grows. Cheers!

stop feeding them let them dry up to bonedry will signal time to die.. then just feed water nothing else another 2 or so weeks last 2 days leave in dark.
