I am on day 58 from seed..and I just got in my new led pocket microscope and see more thn 25% Amber tricombs? I was suppose to start my flush tomorrow cause I was sur they would make it to day 75..but now I am confused on what to do. The buds are starting to get hard and dense and frost is all over them. I have a 2 tent setup one with 600 hps and the other with a total of 1200 led. Both tents are 4x4x6. I have been feeding them 1/2 flower nutes and was gonna make last nights feeding it's last since it is going to be flush day. I have 5 white widow 5 amnesia haze 1 purple kush which is 4 days younger thn other plants and one auto flower that was suppose to be a purple kush but I think seed company messed up because it is my biggest auto and not a hint of purple. So not sure what it is. The other plants in the tent are 5 more purple kush at day 33 and 2 northern lights at day 12. They are all packing on weight every day still but look like 2 of my ww are gonna be first done. The have had orange hairs for over a week or so and all hairs are starting to disappear. So please someone give me advice since this is my first grow EVER! I have also been giving plants hydro honey for last couple days and would like some advice on when I should stop that as well? Can I go all the way till harvest or should I stop after I flush tommorow? Please please please someone help, first grow and I have invested a lot of time and money on this, but I guess my main thing is I love growing! I think growing weed is my new passion! The white widow I'm talking about is the first 2 pictures.The taller plants are the amnesia haze.

Wait for 80% of the pistols to turn brown and receded in on the bud. Then you will be closer to harvest. There is a lot of white still there.

The only plant I am talking about that has the amber is the first pic of main cola. I took a inner sugar leaf off of it and that's what had the amber. And 710 I wish I could but I don't know how you guys take pics with your phone through microscope? Should I go ahead and flush tho TK9119? And can I still give hydro honey after flush? Thanks for yals replies, don't want to harvest early, I'm in no rush, I want my first grow to be great and have maximum thc level. Just scared if I keep letting that one go the thc content with become less potent.

I've used a micro scope and or magnifying glass to check trichomes, but the best way I have found is to wait for the buds to change color. They will take on an amber tinge when they are ready to harvest. Calyx's will swell, hairs recede, buds plump up, and get dense. Its hard to wait but worth it in yield and potency. Looks like you've got a couple more weeks.

A lot of white hairs about the flush I would like for one of the well-known members answer that, the word flush is always a big argument on here!

Yes I have a good led microscope that's how I saw them, just don't know how I could get a pick of it

u-know some strains take 65 days, some up to 120 days from seed to harvest, I all ways google the name of the strain with the word grow behind it and see how long other people go before chop. I guess I am bad about being a copy cat but I am happy with it.

Looks like a few weeks for the plant in the first pic are the tricombs fully developed? They should all look like mushrooms. Do any of the trics look like Strait lines with no head?

Forget the triches on the leaves , that is only part of the puzzle . Triches at calyx where the THC magic happens is where to check ( on the actual bud ).

You mentioned - 58 days from germ . If you flowered at 30 odd days or so ( common with autos ) , then you are only in flowering an ACTUAL 28 days or so ..... Way early.

Forget the breeder time - it is listed for OPTIMAL GROW CONDITIONS ( like lab study ) .
Not like the regular guy...... Well , unless you got a killer setup ( balanced temp and humidity THROUGHOUT GROW , monitored feed , exact watering needs , full spectrum light conditions that mimic mother nature , etc. )

But for the rest of us , we will run longer than advertised.
So called 8 week strains are ACTUALLY 4-5 week germ to veg growth
Then preflower around 30-40 days in .
Flower transition in a week
THEN ...... FLOWERING .

I only count the actual flower transition time to harvest.
Since AUTOS are hardwired to go from seed to veg in a blink of an eye , you cant prelong it like a photo seed. So doing a count FROM beginning flower THEN counting weeks in will be more realistic.

An easy way is to grab a calendar -
Mark each week ( NOT DAY ) as WEEK 1 , Then WEEK 2 , etc.
By that time you can better judge your girl.

Getting back to yours .... It will go longer , it needs to get to swelling and adding bulk.
Those pistils will recede and continue to change , some strains will have white pistils at end too. Let her keep going.
