I spoke to Simon and he recommended 53-63 days of flowering. But, I figured 1 week for flowering to kick in possibly. I have a microscope. There is not many amber, but, I do distinctly see some. All the hairs were brown last week or more. Tomorrow I am gunna pick an even better scope up. Hopefully will be able to see better. Some of the buds are smaller that are on the edge of the tent. That is exactly why I thought it might not be ready yet. The buds are not that big yet.
i mean wednesday. go to page 899 to see my post. so should i wait then? i see a good amount of amber on some.
I'd still wait a bit.
That looks real close to me, nice even yellowing hairs are receding, another week or so... any chance you could take the third, or last pic and zoom/crop so we can get a bit of a closer look?
What are foxtails?
Some sativa's have a tendency to produce new white pistils, and calyx's on the tops of the bud even until they're ready to chop.
Thanks for the info. wow those pics are nuts. I get what you mean now for sure. I have a question beef. My plants are pretty close to the range of being ready for harvest. I am still having a hard time distinguishing the cloudy trichromes. I am positive I see somewhere around 3% or less of amber tips. I have not seen any new pistils for a week or more now. Do you think that since there is no new pistil growth that I should get ready to pull them? Or is that not always a good sign?
I mostly focus on the trichomes being cloudy.... I want as few clear as possible, which usually means waiting until about 10% or so are amber. That's why I do it.
