Trichomes & Harvesting

Funny how all of a sudden this post is only rated 3 stars when it was rated 5 2 days ago.

I wonder who did that..

Probably someone who didn't read all the information and has a hard time understanding the difference between facts and beliefs.

Same go for coco and coco specific nutes? No flush needed?

I don't quite follow.
Can you elaborate on the questions? :weed:



Edit:

There is no need to pre-harvest flush if you haven't heavily overfed (in which case the plant would be visibly damaged and probably beyond rescue).

Organic nutrients, synthetic nutrients, soil, hydro (nor any mediums in those systems) doesn't matter in that sense.
Flushing is useful for clearing a salt build up, correcting a solution (balance wise), correcting (reverting) pH levels etc.



If that's what you meant ^^
 
Flushing sucks, I have Arjans haze and flushed it. Result: a plant what is almost 10days (day79/70) over time and ALL my leaves are yellow and 80% felt off and my plant still doesnt have amber trichomes. The buds look great.
Too ashamed to post a picture :D

Flushing is good in both chem and organic grows. You don't need amber trichs, cloudy will do. And it's more your timing issue then a flushing issue.

I agree with OP. Flushing isn't a must if you haven't been feeding heavy. But who doesn't fed heavy in mid flower? I do. So for me flushing works just fine.
 
Agree my timing was bad. It was my first indoor grow and tried different strains and grow methods to look what the ladies and the boss liked. Downside is no uniformity under the plants.
I checked today again, still no amber but also very little % clear ones, tomorrow morning its harvest time :)
80 days for a 70day strain is for sure not too soon :weed:

For the next round i better plan and organise my stuff. Also i am going to count from first flowers/pistils and not from flipping the lights to 12/12, thats more realistic then the seedbank marketingtalk :finger:

Thanks for the advice.
 
just took microscope photos of chocolope (or arjans haze 1)? whatever almost threw them out before it sproutedchoca.jpgchocb.jpg choc23.jpgand allkushallkush 2.jpg allkush5.jpg, I dried it fast but its doin its job

Yes. My first grow I flushed way too early and went almost 30 days. With mostly cloudy I'd harvest to. Remember, the trichs still change when drying from what I've read and my experiences so you could have some amber in there by cure time, not that it matters being amber is degraded thc.
Good to jump in head first if you have most things down. I also started with multiple strains and techniques and it's worked out well.

Count from both 12/12 and first signs of pistils, it's good to have this on record for any journal work.

I'm harvesting now, you can see my first of four here on the last entries,

https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/556624-new-grow-4-girls-super-2.html

That one was a 7 week strain that went to day 65(pistil) 80(12/12) 90% cloudy, over 1/2 lb.

Good Luck
 
Checked random while manicuring before hanging them and found a bud with a lost amber trichome, it looks like i harvested it spot on, maximal cloudy :)
Good tip about taking both times of flowering and flipping the switch, it wil give me more insight in my strains and future grows.
 
This thread is awesome, well worth the read! Looks like I have all clear right now...a little hard to get right up close with my camera, but it's all I've got. What do you guys think, all clear? I'm thinking 2 more weeks and they'll be real close to ready, and now thanks to k0ijn, I know exactly what to look for! :D

Awesome thread. Got 5-6 wks left before harvest and the info I've gained from taking the time to read this is brilliant.

Major rep to you koijn.

I'll try and get some decent pics up in a few wks so ya can see where I'm at.

You're welcome.

I think you would benefit from getting a microscope or a loupe.
They are fairly inexpensive and can really help you out a lot.

Regarding the picture, I see some clear and some cloudy trichomes.
It's hard to judge based off just a few trichomes and just one spot on the plant.

I would estimate that you have at least 2 weeks to go.
