Hey guys, a noob here, are some of those look "milky" or am I imagining?

It could be the light reflecting, but i'm not sure. The pic is the best I can do :-(

Not a pro or anything lol, but that looks like some forming trichomes to me bud. Keep up the beautiful work! :) Milky indeed.

yup, looks like there are a few milky ones but mostly clear, to be expected in the early days

My petite little beauty :)

Now most of them trichomes seem milky, but my lupe is 45x so it not very reliable..
I thought to maybe chop her down today, but! Well I have an exam at thursday, and will let her sit until then.

So...it'll be 3 days, I'll post a pic from every day and then the wet harvest and then the dry! :)

p.s. Should I start a separate thread for this, maybe?

It's white widow auto. I have recently seen a few amber trichomes, and I have no more patience :) Put her in the dark, it should be like 60 hours of darkness when I'll chop her.
I do realize it might not yet be fully potent, but you know, guy's gotta do what guy's gotta do :leaf:

Indicat33 - You do seem to have more resin, I'd guess it has to do with the fact I'm growing stealthy with only 4 CFLs.

A quick pre-final update here. She's been like 2 days in the darkness. I barely even look at her now.
Here's the pic:

I'll chop down her tomorrow :) An auto almost 70 days old, doesn't look quite ready yet, but it's really not matter.
Thanks for the replies!

Also - the darkness seems to actually bring out quite a bit of resin...

It's probably strain-specific, since I only used one 67 CFL> Happy harvest bro !!! ;-)_~

Determining whether or not to harvest due to the indication of trichomes is not a great idea. This is what I have done until my last few grows.

Harvest when the pistils have changed from white to orange-brown and the pistil have receded into the calyx. The seed bract will then become filled with resin and swell and look like a seed has form, but not quite as big. People that want a cerebral high need to get a sativa and harvest at this point. If you want a body high, then get an indica strain and harvest at this point.

Don't buy an indica strain and harvest it early because you want a cerebral effect. (Of course you can do WTF ever) Let the bud get ripe and enjoy the weed for its true character.
