Nice grow mate!!

Got an Ice kush myself thats a few days from the chop :) ,just waitting for those trichs to turn a wee bit more,my main cola has 2 huge fat thumb buds protruding from the top like a set of ears on a rabbit(perfect for sitting my nose in for a nice sniff!)

Grew mine in 10ltr pot with soil/perlite fed advanced nutes,looks like it'll be a good yield :)

It looks great and it seems like it would yield nicely.
I would make sure more than proper venting is supplied to prevent mold in these stages.

plenty of venttilation and air flow man humidity ranges between 35% and 50% in a 24hr period on average
and also dont 4get these plants are spose to be fairly resistant to mold

i have this grow book written in oz by ashleys sister which says in india they throw their buds at the wall and the ones that stick (due to resin) are the pick of the bunch now those buds would stick like buggery would look choice under a microscope

yeah the trichs are starting to look very cloudy im thinking/hoping only 2 to 3 weeks to go
these would stick to the wall np lol

i noticed the tips of a couple of the colas that are/were getting a bit close to the hps started to show signs of bleaching on the leafs so i have pulled them out to the side via some lst to the walls fingers crossed it works cause i aint got no where to go with the light lol

i will post some pics l8r

My rule of thumb is flushing a week after the pods really start to swell, regardless of anything else. In soil.

im going by the trichs man and they cloudy as fuck with some hints of amber starting to appear here n there so im thinking they almost ready
i dont care any more if hairs are white or red after looking round the net
as i stated b4 nearly every bud shot of ice -kush i could find had bugger all red/brown hairs and some didnt have any

Sounds like a sativa that i grown before, i harvested when most of the hairs were still white because the trichs were ready
the white hairs turned orange after the chop

I never harvest based only on trichome color.
Some strains have amber trichomes after 3 weeks. Trichomes can degrade to amber color by over-radiation from the light.


This plant:

IS NOT READY.
It has around a month left, if not more.

People take pictures of the buds when everything is white because it looks "better". They don't chop it straight afterward.
