advice on thricome status, and time left to flush/harvest. (200/60 x zoom)

[Dokkedal]

Hi guys. i'm on day 75 (39 flowering) with my WW x K2. got them from clones, and are growing them in scrog. heres a picture to get you started:



I'm nopt far from harvest - i know that, but i'v taken some pictures of a little leaf from a bud i want your oppinion on. here they are:

They are from a topcola, and are not a flower part, but a mini-leaf from a top cola, which has been felt before, thats why there is some broken trich's.. but how far do YOU think is left, end how far would you leve it until start of flush ?

Thanks in advance, all help is appriciated. this aint a hard question, so im looking forward to hear all your pro's and con's

Happy growing, and a good karma to you looove

Great close ups man.
IDK, you look like you could pull anytime if you plan to do a 10 day or so flush.

I will let the pros respond to when. Curious, what did you use to take the photos of the trichs?

 

[Dokkedal]

That was my plan, ten days or so.. until these pictures gets my panties wet...!
but should I in your opinion, start flushin tommorow, or wait 14 days ?
FYI: min 7 day flush is my plan, soo..

When ?

Thanks again

It's all a guess man, depending on the plant, you might only have a few more amber in 10 days, then again, you might have 20% amber by then.
I have the same question as Pros. though, how did you get such good close ups?
What did you use?

This little 40$ usb microscope:

Got it down from the local "Aldi" supermarked.. (yeah, I know, right?)
It gives me x01/x60/x200 zoom, and stillcapture, og videofeed recordings..

Nice. Trich photos are great to share and get advice.

I'm getting one of those for my kids, and then swiping it!

Completely up to you ma man. If you want a more up high harvest when most are cloudy, for body high go for 20% amber.

'And you would call this semicloudy right ? Fyi; i belive that the amber-colors which are visible are due to touching,and thereby breaking of thrich's, and not a sign of being matured!

That's kind of what I wondered at first, but I DO see some normal shaped trichs that are amber.

ja totalt op til dig, kommer jo også an på hvordan du kan lide dem ? men for mig ser de perfekte ud til at starte flushing eller måske bare rent vand de sidste 10 dages tid som jeg plejer


here er et par billder:

yeah, but, those could have been infected by touch like the others waf broken off. the raw thricomes are like a gel (know that since i'v sat and played with them with a needle..), until the are "dried", therefor, by touching, a little bacterie could have entered, and disrupted the trichhead.. Can you follow me on that mate ? just thinking out of the box here..

Understood.Sometimes we HAVE to think out of the box.

 

[Dokkedal]

Yeah, but the problem is, i'm going away from home for ten days from tuesday morning..i have a caretaker to monitor PH-, and EC-levels. But thats all the caretaker does. he cant investigate with microscope like me, and switch the system from nutes to flush.

THE BIG QUESTION WHICH THIS IS ALL ABOUT: I am aiming for twenty percent amber, want to flush for approximately ten days, and be home for harvest - Do i start flush on monday, or do i start the ten day flush when i return (in approx. 16 days) ?

Once again, THANKS PPL!

 

[Dokkedal]

Kicking back, doing what i do best BIG UP

 

[polyarcturus]

IMO 2 weeks start flushing now. you can see they are ripening but not fully ripened overall you should see an increase trich in these last 2 weeks i would think.

 

[Dokkedal]

Cool. i'll give them the light souliton of GH florakleen & gh ripen for the last 14 days, starting monday.. Any other oppinoins ? This is great

Nope. It is from THC degrading. If you do not touch your plants at all and check it, there will be amber at a certain point.

Cloudy is when THC is at its best so you are going for the highest possible concentration of cloudy trichs. That will end up being something near to 75% cloudy 15% amber 10% clear.
