When I was a lad that was the only way of doing it. This looking at the trichomes through a magnifier wasn't even a thing.
Exactly.

too many get hung up on trichomes when realistically at any point after about 4 weeks of flowering you can find trichomes somewhere on the plant that will indicate you can harvest lol.

Sounds like you use a good few factors in combination, I am the same, except I tend never to look closely at the trichomes. In the past it always puzzled me when people use to come out with, "the tricks (because they never spelt it correctly) were 15% clear 78%cloudy and 3%amber, (their strange figures never added up to 100%), either way I was always amazed anyone actually counted anything, or was able too, especially with their maths!!:)


Sativa leaning hybrids can often never amber, i had a Headband called Thelma. She was a weirdo twin seed. Her sister Louise actually turned out to be a kind of, Louis and ended up showing some balls. It was 2009s version of an LGBTQ plant. 12 weeks and you would see no sign of Amber. But after a souring high she couch locked you good and proper.

Exactly. You probably check them when every other precursor has been achieved.

swollen calyx, receded pistils, over all golden appearance
see a few chopping well early on here. Well before that plumping out stage in the last weeks, lose a decent bit weight aswell, i like to chop a plant early but it aint no 2/3 wks early

it’s ok dont Worry.

You using coco or soil mate?

this plant im growing is doing so in an 8L square pot mate.

with Coco it doesn’t matter if you have a small pot as long as you keep up the feeding frequency.

I’m in soil mate all organic, pots are 14 litre pots/3gal propley could of got a bit mote out them if i repotted just before flower, they been well topped also to try fill the area, i’m never used coco.. ever, not sure i mind run a couple along side some soil and see what the diffrence is like, i know them air pots and bubbler type pots get much quicker growth

not meaning to sound dickish if it does.

but looking at this I would be asking myself what I’m doing that’s causing

1. The early ripening look
2. The leaf necrosis near the centre of the bud
3. The over all “dry” looking appearance.
It’s an auto it could be further along than I thought.

we know about necrosis that’s due to not enough calcium I’ve only just sorted it a few days ago.

other than them minor issues she’s doing fine . Humidity is 55%
Temps are 26 Celsius
Soil buffers nice
Ph is 6.2/6.3

what else can I do.

Not much else mate. As long as you’re on it.

i just hate seeing leaves so close to buds looking a little worse for wear.
