If I have to go based off just those pics. A couple more weeks and you’ll get about a pound!
Ok thanks i will post more info and pics
Your buds shouldn’t have been ready a week ago if they aren’t done. Plants don’t grow based on calanders they grow based on genetics and environmental conditions. So you shouldn’t be expecting a plant done at any set time. At least not until you have run clones of the same plant for multiple grows and really now the specific plant.
Well I said 2-3 weeks before. Honestly probably should be 3+ though it looks like it’s got a long ways to go.
I dont understand why honestly , most of the trichomes are milky some turn amber .. isnt that a sign ?
No not with that many white hairs. Trichomes are the last piece of the puzzle and you shouldn’t even be looking at them at this stage IMO. It’s just more confusing.
Here you go I pulled this from one of my previous posts
. It covers the important stuff:
But @Thundercat my breeder said it’s done in X weeks? How can this be?Here you go I pulled this from one of my previous posts
You don’t want to ever harvest based on one signal.
Stigma changing to 90% + reddish and shrinking towards buds is the first sign of maturity a plant begins to show. That tells you the plant is done trying to reproduce and grow fresh bud, and is ready to swell and ripen. During the swelling process the buds won’t grow much on the outside but will bulk up and get more dense inside. Increasing significantly in weight.
Plants typically need 2-3 weeks AFTeR the stigma change before they are done swelling and properly ripened. Don’t bother looking at trichomes before then, and make sure when you do look at them that you look at the buds.
The trichomes are the final signal of ripeness. It’s also important to look at trichomes from the side not the top. From the top the bulbous head of the trichome can magnify the opaque stalk underneath and give a false impression of maturity.
It is really easy to harvest plants too early. This is one of the main causes for new growers (and even some veterans) having sub par buds.
It is nearly impossible to harvest them too late, atleast on accident.
I tell you what man, I’ve noticed many breeder times actually get a lot more accurate if you count from when flowering really begins at bud set. I still don’t suggest listening to them, because the plants sure don’t.
