Just to add this was a 10 week autoflower. The rest were ready at 15 weeks. This is at 17 weeks under 600w HPS

I cant see any powdery substance on them. Gave them a good shake and under microscope all I can see are trichomes falling off. this was amongst 5 plants the others were harvested 2 weeks before and were great. I wanted to run this longer. About 30 amber trichomes now. It was harvested a couple...

What would I see when open one up?

Thanks. I hope so.
