Why are you even bothering to check your trics @ 31 days? Of course it isn't going to get you high!I have a microscope that zooms between 60 and 100x. I used to go by this but now im relying one the best method... pick smoke, decide if you got blasted or not. The reason is my chemdawg #4 is 31 days and covered in cloudy trichs. Didn't get me high. And seriously for every 30 cloud's there's about one amber and 2 clears. So I suggest sampling to know if its stoney yet or not
Or you can read what else Koijn wrote:Don't trust time frames and take trichs with a grain of salt. The best way to know how stoney it is, is to try and get stoned
The first two pics you can see most of those glands are still clear. How long did you grow them out before counting flower weeks? That is an important question when referring to autos, even ones that are crossed with regular fem strains like this one is. I hope you did not harvest them yet, a good two weeks to go yet. 9 weeks can mean 10 or 11 many times. I just don't know about those autos.Hey everybody - This is my first grow and I think my plants are just about ready, but I'd like some feedback on whether they need more time.
This is from an AutoFem Northern Lights and I'm two days shy of 9 weeks flowering (assuming I started counting at the right time - and I've read so much info since then I don't remember what indicator I used haha).
I hope these images will do. Thanks in advance

For the second time... Trics are not the only sign of ripeness. Calyx swell, hairs reddening off and receding into the bud, the overall look of the plant need to be in line BEFORE even bothering to check your trics. So I will ask again, if you are the expert grower and we are all the newbs why are you even bothering to check your trics @ day 32? Anybody can dry superfast, being in cali is pointless to your argument as is testing a bud at that time to determine "ripeness. If you want to discuss the issue further start your own thread instead of junking up Koijn's which is full of scientific evidence and facts.Look at the pic. According to what you all say, that 31 day old (or as you say 25) is ripe... its simply not. You can't see THC but you can definitely feel it. How is that inaccurate? Who said I was smoking wet shit. This is socal I can dry it super fast if I want a sample (not that that's proper, to defend against your next attack.) Checkmate?
For the third time... It says to look at the other signs that your plant is ready as well as the trics. If you want to have an informed discussion try acting like an adult instead of acting like a child who isn't getting there way. Anymore posts with your immature bs will be deleted. Thank you.The thread says look at trichs under a microscope and pick if theyre cloudy. Id be misinformed by his "scientific facts" if I didn't know better than to take this as fact
Nowhere in this thread does it say just to check the trics and that is all... I think this would be for the fourth time. Post a pic of your plant and some bud shots and I will explain in detail why your buds aren't ready @ day 32 without having to smoke them.Thank you. I was actually hoping to talk to someone who knows what they're talking about. I disagree with this thread and I have provided photos of why. (Apparently unbelievable ones!) An unfinished bud that is ready by your standards. Why defend someone else's opinion so fiercely when all I've done is poke a hole in this theory. Calm your tits.View attachment 2292799
Do you really need me to explain why these are not ready yet?Same plant different lightingView attachment 2291291View attachment 2291292
