Little thread love? Lemme know if I should harvest or wait... Good trichome pics!

[secretsparty]

I have a few dif strains and im at flower day 63 right now. Im thinking these are all about done judging by the cloudy trichomes I would think these are ready to be cut. Can I get an expert opinion please?

by the way I took all these shots with a new digital USB microscope I bought on Amazon for $60, great investment and very easy scope to use. Wish I had this 10 years ago!

I still see a few clr trichs and no amber I'd wait one more week give it 48 hours of darkness then chop her down.Good growing and may all of your harvests be bountiful.

i saw some amber near the end of the shots. new thinking is to harvest right about that time or just before. your choice. but i wouldn't wait too much longer IMHO

If you like a good strong "high" then harvest now...if on other hand if you like the messed up, disoriented druggy feel of cbn then i more week for 15-20 % amber..nice job so far gratz

I see the same thing some are changing.
Nice pics. Great tool. Sure beats trying to use a glass with eyes that are not what they use to be.

The cotton candy and both lsd look about done to me. Mostly cloudy and just started to amber, that's when I harvest.
The rest are a little behind, But not by far. IMO

We all do things our own way, but since I like to smoke bud, not leaf, I check the trichomes on a bud, not a leaf. Trichs on leaves seem to go amber before those on calyx.

Just be careful. I did a stupid mistake, believing I had milky 99% milky trichs i harvested.

After harvest I noticed they were mostly clear, the cloudy was simply an illusion - probably created by the camera I used to view the thricomes. Using a lupe it all looked clear

Edit: make sure you take pictures or view thrics with correct lightning, or you might be fooled too. Today (when harvesting) I cut off a small bud, or even part of a bud (calyx), and study it outside of the grow room.

Those are amazing shots. I wish every person asking "when should I harvest"? had pics like those.

You are definitely good to cut but like most here say I'd let it go another week or so.


Edit-lol Yes, You should include some buds shots and you should only go by those, not leaves.
