she doesn't smell all that strong... i keep the closet door open all day long and also keep my windows in the house open as much as possible... on top of that i burn incense and therefore i don't have any strong smell lingering in the house

so the pistils or stigma as they are also known as, those are the white hairs growing off of the green bud itself... so ive seen sparkly shinny stuff growing on the leaves surrounding the buds... would this be the trichromes?

yes those hairs also known as 'pistils' or 'stigma'

trics are trichromes, aka the THC crystals

yes those are the trics. as soon as they start clouding you can decide when to harvest. they will go from cloudy to amber. you will need a magnifying glass to view them accurately. just pick the time you want t harvest based on the buzz you want. more cloudy with less amber= more energetic buzz. more amver and few cloudy = couchlock style of buzz. Obviously just a guideline though. good luck man.

The trichomes have the highest concentration of THC on the plant. That is the ball at the end of the stalk. The stalk has the second highest. Most is in the area around the bud. Which includes stalks and the smaller leaves. Most all parts of the plant do contain some thc. But it is not all about the thc content, A lot has to do with other chemicals as well. For one thing THCA converts to thc when it is heated. Thats why you cant eat weed and really get high. But when you cook with it you will. There are other chemicals that work along with it also. I read something about it lately but now I can't find it. If I find it I will post it.

as a rule of thumb how long after i first spot the trichs forming can i harvest? These things are growing on my leafs directly around the bud but i haven't noticed any of the bud itself.. should i look at the trich through the magnifying glass on the bud or the leaf around the bud?

Assuming your ppm's are high, you will also need Reverse Osmosis water. The cheapest RO machine I have found is at wallmart. Get the Mr. Clean Auto Dry carwash. They are 20$ and replacement filters are 5$, will take tap water down to around 1-20 PPM (depending on hardness).

Or if you got the cash, get a 100$+ RO machine off ebay.

My tap water has about 650 PPM with a Ph of 8.2 or something high like that so I had a similar problem. After the Mr. Clean filter it dropped down to 15 PPM :)

But I feed my clones that 650 ppm hard water for the first couple weeks and they survived without problems. So I think your problem is in your PH. You said you used the whole bottle of PH down? That sounds like wayyyy to much man, your ph is prolly out of whack.

if you go the mister clean way than just buy a heavy duty aquarium hang on filter. about 30 bucks. load it up with carbon and you have a super heavy duty mr clean or brita filter. in both filters charcoal is the active ingredient. Aquarium filter you just hang on the side of a container and come back in a few minutes. it can filter large amounts of water if you fill it heavily with carbon.

When you spot the trichs you have to look at them through a mag glass. once they start to turn from clear to cloudy you know your plant is finishing. i always harvest when 50% of trich are loudy and the other amber. you need the mag glass though

You can get a better look at them with a low power pocket microscope. I have one just like this one on Ebay. It's 20x and is great for looking at them and also to look for male or female preflowers. I also have a little higher power(i think it is 30x) and I like the smaller one a lot better for looking around the plant. It's also great for putting a bud in your bowl and taking a look at all the trics. Then fire it up. You can't beat the price for $4.99 w/free shipping.

Most of them will be on the calyx's. That is where the pistils come out of. But it doesn't matter. Get something to get a better look at them. Your missing out on a lot if you don't have some kind of magnification to look at your plants. It can be fun too.
