Lacking some good Flowering light. Looks like they are hanging on... Go to radio shack and get a 12. micropscope and search on here for ripe tri's To me you got a couple of weeks and maybe forever if you are under lit?

 

[TaylorG22]

i took them out of the light to take the pictures. they are under a 400watt hps. and its a clone.

looks just about ready. You could wait 3-5 days if you want.

Well either they ready or not? Why should he even bother waiting 3-5 days? Ignore this and go get your Microscope to check tris... did you want to pull them early and waste you time and efforts? You want to hear they are ready or you want to know how to check them like a pro does? 12 bucks and will last you a lifetime!

 

[TaylorG22]

what exactly am i looking for?

 

[porky501]

Look for milky and amber trichs...ratio of amber to milky is very subjective, but most say arround 20% to 50% amber.....chop. Clear trichs= not ready......Of course, I'm only a newb, so, a pro may know better....Also, the plant should start to look like it's "giving up" ...yellowing leaves etc....

 

[TaylorG22]

like 85% of the trichs are all amber. buds doesnt seem to getting any bigger. and the leafs are starting to curl upwards.

 

[jacob213]

if its 85% amber i would start flushing and get ready to harvest...it is gonna be a strong heavy body high so hope thats what u were looking for...good luck

 

[Canadaboy]

just because another member here had a problem with this

Trichomes

Pistils

When the first pic has those little microscopic sacs known as trichomes turn milky or amber then you harves. not to sound like a dick but i got them mixed up too at first, not saying that you are just making sure your not.

The trichomes are the little whit things on the bud you can see them but you cant really SEE them without a scope

twelve weeks is a long time. don't go much longer. they aren't that fat but they have plenty of triches on em and that's enough right there to do the job.
even if you wait how much better is the bud really gonna be, a few percentage points? not worth it IMHO
