checking trichs... think about this

As bud grows and matures all of the newest growth is what your looking at when you scope a bud. The trichomes you're viewing are on the newest calyxes. So most of us wait until these newest calyxes are at their peak but, do we really know what's going on deep inside the bud. All of those older, buried trichomes are going to be at a further ripeness development than the outside ones were commonly viewing, unless you're actually peeling a bud apart and checking in deep.


Thoughts?

Trchis are at constant production, one is dying another is growing in it's place until plant get ripe and she start going amber on you that's when thc turns into cbd.

If this is true then you could "harvest" trichs through out the bloom, no?

I'm not talking about harvest, just about trichomes development

Trichomes are good indicators of where the plant is at the moment but you also got to look at plant as a whole and see if she's ripe and ready to get pulled.

Thanks.
I see this CBD/CBN confusion everywhere.
Maybe it's the similarity in spelling, but it spreads misinformatin.

CBD is great for medical use, but aiming for high CBD only using harvest-timing is pointlesss.

Shit CBN not CBD sorry for the typo guys.

I just harvested my DP blueberry last night at 10 weeks. I feel like she could have went another week since there were new calyxes forming but I like the high she was producing so I chopped. She was amber on the leaves but only a few on the actual calyxes. Ton of milky! I harvested a little early because I feel I let my last grow go a little late (15% amber). I think this BB strain could have fattened up more but I just figured I might have to sacrifice a little weight for milkier trichs.Its all a learning experience. Next time I try this strain I will let her go more amber just to see. I'm also running a Liberty Haze but she looks like a 13 weeker. Way different strain.

I know.... I totally agree with you...
There is nothing like experience....
I grow the same plant... Many times over and over...
I clone the biggest fastest grower...
The slow clones get smoked...
I know exactly when the plant has 4 weeks, 3 weeks and two weeks left...
It is much harder when you grow multiple photo period plants...
My Plant/clone of a clones clone... takes 49 days... From start of 12/12
It is easy to tell... all plants do the exact same thing, at same time, every time...
I've harvested at 6.5/7.5/8/8.5/9 weeks...
The Trichomes never changed after 6 weeks...
I let a plant go 12 weeks on the lower pop corn... Three weeks extra... 2% amber ....
Why would I wait... 7 weeks buds are biggest and the high is what I want...
Do what works best for you....
Always do what works... Try things for yourself...
This growing thing... It keeps me alive...
I always advise, find a "High" you like.... find a short as possible photo period...
And stick with it... Refine your craft... and Max out what you do...
As you grow, you will get better and better... and will be able to tell...
Your Buds... will be like mine, have billions and billions of white milky gooey Trichome highways around your plant....
Good Luck...

Nothing wrong with harvesting then. I never wait for amber I look for mostly milky with a few clear. I always have very racy, panic weed lol. Amber on the sugar leaves is usually a good indicator that the rest are getting close to milky.
