First grow question

[ThrowYaGunz]

Hi , this Lowryder auto is around day 50 growing underneath a 270w led light , lets say 30% of the hairs are brown so my question would be , should i start flushing her or continue giving her nutes for a week?

Going by the hairs (pistols) is a rough estimation. You have to look at the Trichomes under at least 30X's magnification. Mostly amber is the prefered harvest target.

Let's see those plants under normal lights instead of dance club mode.

Off hand, I'd say you got a little bit more to go, like maybe a week, light makes it a little tough to tell. You could try to turn your flash on your camera so it will go off if you don't want to move them, you might have to do a close-up on a bud though. Looking at the trichomes is the way to go.

Yeah...The girl has more clubbing to do.

Get a 30X's Jeweller's loop from Amazon, or a 100X's pocket microscope.

Lookin nice. What LED are you using?

if I could double like dalek's post I would you can buy cheap opticals from amazon.

what light did you use? IME, with those blue-n-red lights adding another light in flower helps a lot. just something to add intensity in flower.

I never go by trichomes anymore. Trichomes are very misleading. Just wait until the calyxes have swollen.

Same as dude.i wait to they look like there gonna burst then harvest.amber trichs or not wait for the calyx to swell thats were the weight is i also like to go well over 8 wk on most strains after all the months of looking after them theres no rush in harvesting.
i actually like couchlock, but over 20 year of growing in the beginning there were only sativa seeds so we had to wait 3 months to finish.dont rush the last few weeks.
ive just started using advanced nutes 'overdrive'i would recomend this to anyone who has time and likes to flower that bit longer.peace

thank you very much

 

[mbishop95]

if you look at your buds under magnifier look at the trichs for a red tip that is the best time! kinda like so

 

[dazzyballz]

My humbolt chemdawg vegged for 1 week as a experiment,been flowering 8 wk yesterday,i think she needs another week @ least

 

[dazzyballz]

my blacjack 8 wk flipped,look like they need at least a week

 

[Krippled]

Yep letting these go at least another week and some won't be ready for 4-5 weeks
