hmmmm very interesting. i know he was planning on waiting for a bit because the strain description says if you leave it for a bit longer you start to see pink and a lot of purple, but he is concerned about leaving it to long.the hairs turn amber at perfect ...and when I say perfect I don't mean ideal stone, I just mean, speaking in gardening...fruit terms, or whatever, that they will be as potent as possible with the highest thc content and when the hairs all turn a burgandy or even darker in some strains then you've waited too long. It's still weed, but I don't think you'll appreciate as much..If I were your friend, and this is just me, but I would harvest when the trichomes are a milky colour, because I prefer the head high. Ask him if he wants to go to bed or actually make something of his impairement, and if it's option #2 then maybe go with my desired harvest time. To each his own though, and a couch lock is better for medicinal users.
Yep, overtoked i guess. I meant, if you're 1/2 milky 1/2 amber, it's time to harvest...not 50% milky. you meant 50% amber didn't you? Cloudy=milky. 1/2 milky 1/2 amber is what your shooting for ideally IMO.
so all white hairs is a nice head high, and all the hairs turned amber will put you to sleep basicaly? and is it really 50/50 the average time to harvest, i heard it was at peak time when the hairs were 75% amber?You really should be focused on the trichromes.
When they are 50 percent milky you'll have the highest thc percentage...
If you wait till they're all cloudy you'll have more CBN, makes you sleepy.
The purple usually has to do with cooler outdoor climates, doesn't make it taste any better, or get you more stoned.
If most of the trichromes are cloudy, and 50 percent are milky harvest, not all the plants will finish on the same day.
After some experience, your friend, ehhem bullshit, will know what to look for those last couple days... Looks like they're close.
dude you can tell im a newbie!! i never knew there was so much to look for, i thought it was put it in your pot change your lighting and harvest and enjoy, clearly i was wrong.Sorry it took me a while to get back to you.
It really does look close, like in the next three days you should notice the trichromes (tiny crystals) will look more opaque (not clear) like a foggy window, time to harvest when most of the plant looks like this...
Most of the pistols (hairs) will be ambering... It looks like there's new growth still showing, many reasons this can happen, a plant's not finishing properly. Don't worry about the bits of new growth, research how to finish on your next grow... Less nutes, less light... focus on the main bud.
You said the strain was a 45-50 day one, so it should be coming down in that time period, they look like they don't have any problems.
Thanks for the rep... Nobody has this much interest in a "friends" garden. Ansy.
its soil. and yes on the flush, ever heard of Flora Kleen? its a flushing supplemnet you add to water. how many times should they be flushed, and wats your opinion on the questions i asked normlpothead above???Is he growing in soil or hyro? Is he planning a flush?
