Trichs done? x60 Pics.

[Schrodinger]

I could use some help.
These were taken in the last few days. Sorry for the blur and size. Just can't tell, I think they're done and mostly cloudy but didn't wanna cut too early.

Afghan x Skunk #1
Day 47 under 270w CFL. FF soil w/botanicare (pro grow, bloom, karma), molasses and VermiT.

They look done to me but it is my first real grow and it seems too early. Any advice would be great!

depends on how you want the stone to be. you could cut now. or wait a week. up to you.

I like a nice in between high, would you cut now?
I think I will probably cut it in the next couple days but I am also a little worried because I didn't start flushing at all. Although my test buds were all smooth with no chemical taste so I may not flush and just cut her down.
No flush? No 24hr dark? Just cut, hang and cure ok?

Any other opinions?

If your in soil I recommend to actually not flush.

I would wait untill more of those white hairs recede. Its hard to tell from the pics. The lighting might be throwing off the color of the trichs. Beautifull bud!

cool close up shots...color of them kinda suck...but res. is good....

 

[The*Mad*Hatter]

but yeah, i say wait till more of those white hairs are gone

Thanks for the advice guys.

Smokebros - weight off my shoulders!

Noballs & Mad Hat - I will get some better photos in a few here, using a cell phone and a radio shack pos. Also, the white hairs on a test bud I had all turned Orange in a 2 day "cure" and I was under the impression that trichomes are priority not hairs. Am I wrong on this?

The hairs are a good indicator, but all hairs will change color when dried. Its more of a combination of the two. I dont even check my trichs untill the bud looks mature aka the hairs are receded and the calyxes are swollen. How did the test bud taste? Was it a good high for you? I know its hard to wait but give it at least one more week maybe 10 days.

you have a few more clear trichs than amber, i think i spotted one amber and like 15 clear the rest seem cloudy. id wait till all the clear are gone. also your hairs have yet to receed, give it a little time yet

Aha. Well the test bud tasted fine, not as nice as some top shelf pro buds but nice. Overall pretty smooth smoke and the high was ok with a quick onset. I know it expanded but can't remember how long it lasted probably not at all. It was late I was tired. Though with my tolerance were it is I was just happy to see it worked at all. I guess I can wait another week, just got worried when I started seeing amber trichs.
Should I water it again? A friend just told me instead of a flush or dark period just let it dry out until harvest. Same idea of making her think she's dying and pushes her last goo.

Thanks again everybody!
