Mr I Can Do That For Half
The fox farm line up is great I have yet to see someone burn a plant with fox farm its almost impossible you really have to try. I up my ppm from the chart as I am used to them and know how much my plants can handle I get ppms up to 1900 at high points and run 5.5 ph in all my ydro and aero grows. i like grow big, tiger bloom. big bloom, cha ching, beastie bloomz, then I add Humbodlt county Gravity and humboldt county Honey natural carbohydrates. I also am a fan of bushmaster and sweet original beery from Botinicare. Never an issue and great results very forgiving are fox farm nutes unlike flor,advance,canna, or technaflora

I use the foxfarm hydro (big bloom, grow big, tiger bloom) line up for my DWC. Like you, I can increase my PPM's to 1900 without burning the plants. Ive heard alot about the cha ching line up but i havent tried them yet. BTW, ive orderd from HTG several times and have never had a problem. Whats your beef with them lol

yeah I got one of those pocket microscopes and i checked when the last pics were taken and there were still alot of clear and a few cloudy. I guess i was more woundering how long it takes to go from clear to cloudy to amber im thinking that they should be pretty decent ratio by NEXT weekend.

and thx for comment green...

If you have already started flushing then keep checkin and hold out on chopping until they turn the right ratio. Unless the plants start dieing from the flush then i would chop asap.

They have been flushing for a week now the big fan leaves are starting to die off but buds seem like there getting a bit more growth, chunking up i guess.
The Trichs are less clear and more cloudy ones but only one here and there amber.

Ill post pic updates in a couple days

I have a small microscope and I put my camera up to the microscope and take a picture. Thats the only way i can get a pic of the trich. Try doing that and see what happens. Also there is a microscope on the market that you can plug into your computer so you can take pictures of what you view under the microscope. There $100 USD and bad @ss. I doubt you would want to go this far to get some pic of the trich but the first method should work fine for now.

That PC-scope sounds sweet, explains how people get the real nice trich pics and 100 bucks aint to bad if ya got a lil extra money.
Just checked em for today and id say there about 10% clear 80% cloudy and about 10% amber.
How fast do trichs usually take to go from cloudy to amber? we talking a few days or like the next day?
I think im gonna plan on harvesting this weekend, that wont be to long will it?

Im on my second grow so i dont have a deff answer for you but i would assume that it would be a few days and up to a week. I would probably chop in 7 days if i were you unless your egar to chop then you can do it any minute now. However you have put alot of time and work into this project.
