White Widow ready to harvest????

[jclamp]

I have a (greenhouse seeds) White widow plant that's been under 12/12 light (400 watts) for exactly 10 weeks today. A lot/most trichomes still seem to be clear. Any advice?

how did you check trichomes! i grew some white widows and i can tell you that 10 Weeks since first pistil is more then enough under 400W HPS! but as you said 10 weeks from 12/12 u might be in 8th week flowering now! also if you checked with naked eyes get a pocket microscope and double check!

I checked with a 60-100 scope

They look close.. Once the trichome's are mostly cloudy and a few amber start appearing you will be within day's of peak ripeness.

I am growing that exact same strain now. I am in week 8 (since pistil) week 11 of 12/12. Don't get hooked on how many weeks they tell u a plant or strain is. The flower will tell u when it is ready. Watch ur tricombs they are the only true (visible) way of telling if a plant is ready. Good Luck and Happy Smoking
