Hey all, this is my first time growing, and after hacking off the top bud of this plant, i read that you're supposed to harvest by the TRICHOMES, not the HAIRS...so i am seeking advice about that...
I cant tell if they are clear or if they are cloudy -- and im not too sure if these pics will help -- they're as close as i could get the camera to focus... should i try using a microscope?
Oh, background -- shes about 5 months old, vegged for 2 months, been in flowering for now 3. shes tiny, but thats because i ALSO just learned that lumens dont add (seriously...seems like they should tho, right?) my grow area has 2 - 100watt HPS lights, and 2 - 70watt HPS lights, all about a foot above the top of the plants
side note: im investing in some new lights -- if ANYONE knows where to get them super cheap, or is even getting rid of their current setup to upgrade themselves, im looking for either 1 1000watt grow light, or maybe 2 600watt grow lights? -- but any info on this would be especially helpful
where was i...oh yeah, and the 4 lights are in the corners of a 5x6 area with white sheets on the wall. she's only ever been fed water, and is growing in miracle grow moisture control soil. i started her off in a 1 oz peat pot until she was about a week, then moved her to a solo cup (with holes in the bottom) till flowering and then put her in a 12x12 plastic pot.
according to the site i bought the seeds from, shes already a month "past-due." but for all i know the trichomes are already cloudy and im heading toward body hight....but i just want to make sure.
oh, would it help to post a pic of the cut bud?
in any event, any suggestions are appreciated!
