Trichome help!

[Jserna444]

Hey guys just wondering if someone could help me out with the stage of my teichomes. I have a Banana Punch and lsd that both have a flowering time of 7-8 weeks and today is day 1 of week 7. Im attaching some pics of my trichomes to see if someone can help me determine how far i am from harvest. I feel like they are milky white just not sure when i should start flushing. All help greatly appreciated.

I would have flushed before buds were this far along. But then again some growers don’t flush at all. Good luck.

The pics are almost to bright tbh. Lots of light refraction there. Can't say with that much light pollution. Also dont go off of the leaves trichomes they mature before the buds do.

First of all, I would say never get all hung up on just trombones. Secondly, you are taking readings from an obvious leaf which you should never do. Take your trichome readings from n the calyx. It will give you a far more accurate reading.

Haha, what do they know anyway, lol. I have one plant left to cut in just few more days and I never flushed that one either. Had four others that I did. Gonna have some blind taste tests after it cures with my buddies and see how it works out. Will post on it when they smoke some of it.
