Hey guys i already posted few threads regarding my Indica first grow.
This is end of 11th week flowering.
I know that is 11th week exactly because i started counting 2 weeks after switching to 12/12. After nice future flower sites started to form..
I checked trichomes with loop and everything is cloudy with maybe just few clear and few amber. Mostly all cloudy.
I wanted to wait untill end of 12th week perhaps but I'm really thinking over and over again.
Also i noticed most of the hairs are brown and retreated into the buds. Not all but almost all. She suffered from little foxtailing on lower buds but nothing major.
I want to put her on 24h darkness before harvest but it's really hard for me to choose that date and if she is indeed ready:confused::!::roll::oops:

I'd say the harvest window just opened, based on trichomes. When to chop is pretty much up to you at this point IMO, depending on what percent of amber trichomes you want. Keep her going until you've reached whatever percent of amber trichomes, then put her to bed.

I definitely want little bit more amber! Ideal 20 % or so.. So i think that I will harvest end of next week, i have read that trichomes can change color fast in last days. So i will check daily :rolleyes:

I tried to make Pic of trichs.. As you can see they are all cloudy with few amber here and there. Nothing major.. In real life when I look with loop they are a lot more cloudy and fuzzy. So yeah. I made decision and i will leave her exactly still 5 days before 24h of darkness. And chop

Lookin good!! One thing to remember, the trichs on the little sugar leaves will turn amber before the flower trichs. So make sure to wait until the trichs on the bud themselves are the amber to cloudy ratio that you want, otherwise you may chop her before she's truly ready

I looked today more the structure of the buds and trichomes. Branches on bottom and buds seem to be at this perfect point! While main cola up doesn't look so finish as lower parts.
Do you have experience in harvesting plant in parts?
For example if i harvested lower buds and left upper part for another week or so.
Would that damage her?
I definitely don't want stunned grow on the end.

Little update *
She is now 13 weeks and 2 days in flowering.. I know for sure because i started counting 2 weeks from 12/12..
Her trichomes are all cloudy /milky with some amber..
I keep temperature low and as humidity because I'm afraid of mold.
She still have some white hairs growing but i have read that some plants can do that regardless them being finish.
I was thinking putting her on 46h darkness and then harvest. What do you guys think? Should i cut her in 2 day's?

If trichomes are milky/amber on the bud itself, its ready. Putting them in darkness for 48 hours can be a heated debate, as some say its Bro-science, while others swear it is beneficial. I say, if it can't hurt it, why not try it.

I've noticed today after turning on the lights.
Her leafs are starting to yellow extremely. Looks like most of the leafs are dying.
Almost all hairs on lower grow have retreated inside.
I don't know if this is her saying me that she is finish or maybe something else.
It makes me think all time she is indica. Not sativa. And now it's already finishing week 13.
Maybe she is really finish.
