Its really hard to tell by the picture my good sir...you should buy a 60 to 100x magnification scope to check your trichromes on your next grows...but either way bud that girl of yours looks awfully frosty!! +rep for that my friend she looks amazing... but sleeperls93 already said it best start flushing now and harvest in 15 days on day 70...remember be patient it will pay off in the end!! A patient grower usually always end up with fully ripe bud...I cant tell you how many times Ive watched buddies pull up great looking plants about 2 weeks to early, and the last 2 weeks is when the plant boosts out growth and trichromes, also about 36 hours before your gonna chop her down turn off your lights, the plant thinks its the end of its life and while its alive for those last 36 hours it produces extra resin as a protection method... so that means more thc!!
Thanks Drgreenthumb i picked up a 100x today. and its about 10% amber so another 12-13 days seems about right. and ive read good and bad arguments for the dark period. im gonna try it this time and see what happens.

Thc is broken down by light. the plant uses it as a sunblock of sorts against some uv rays. the level is broken down through the day and since their is no light the levels build up during darkness for the next day. by giving an extra 12-24 hrs of dark before harvest you ensure your thc levels are at the max level possible. It's said to not work with all strains according to a big university study for the government pharmacy company of some europran county.
They have fattend up nicely man it sure is awesome to see, have you been flushin them the past 7 days? Keep leaching (flushing) the soil for the next 6 days or so, then run the light for 2 more days then 48 hrs of complete darkness without water, this will give your plant a little of time to dry out and your thc time to recharge (by darkness). So that gives you 10 more days incliding your dark period before you chop them.
But before this scheduale is set in stone give us a report on the resin gland color. They look very milky as of right now but its hard to tell without a scope and the plant infront of me lol. So it seems as tho 10 more days is perfect for your beautiful girls. Keep us updated!
Sorry to post on your thread but when u flush do u let your plants dryOUT BEFORE ANOTHER FLUSH or every other day,i think my bud might taste a lil bad is i would waittill pots dried out then flush again...????/
awesome man, yea if there 15 percent amber then there just about ready to chop, as you said 68 days so thats 3 or 4 more days either way there done lol the extra 15 days def. paid off being patient alwways does, they look beautiful i cant wait to see the end product right before chop then dried and cured.
Haha sorry bout the wait, had to get a root canal on thursday. here is a cell pic of some after a day or two in cure, still need to trim a few leafs off but looking sweet.
Season five was funny as shit, and i hear they just got signed to do 2 more seasons.
Also notice my new avitar
P.S. Once i get my digital fixed i will take a few HQ shots.
The buds look absolutly beautiful man they really do, it looks as tho letting them go a little extra made the world of difference cuz that smoke looks killer
Are you curing in a glass jar? About how much moisture is in the stem? Does it crackle a little when u bend it or does it snap and break a tiny bit. Im sure u kno how to cure just fine, just remember your better off putting them in the jars with some moisture, and by the look of ur buds in the picture it looks about perfect ...dont forget to burp the jars to let out moisture every so often too
Yes DrG got em in glass jars, them kerr ones, been burping once a day, i live in the desert so they did get a tiny bit dryer than i had wanted, im praying enough mositure was left in the stems, but still they are delicious
