i dont know if those trichs are looking cloudy or if its the light causing them to look white. The buds look great but i think they prob still have a a few days to a week left. Alot of those trichs have clear heads.. it all depends on the kind of high you want. mostly cloudy with some amber is what i see most do and it is usually a good median..

are the pics from the top of the plant or near the bottom? i think its a good idea to check trichs from different parts of the plant as obviously certain parts are older/younger than others and trich development also varies due to that..

I love what your doing and am subbed ;)

I tried to get them all over, my shitty camera gets one decent trich shot out of every like 10 pictures. I am more on your side of waiting them out a bit though. Go too early and may as well have not grown them at all!

looking mighty fine sir, awesome growing! I'd wait another week atleast and then reconsider. I see some clear trichs and looks like those precious buds could fatten up some more!

Ive decided to go another week as well. on a side note, my local nursery is selling fox farm products now which is cool since they arent charging the hydro store markups.

From my experience you should chop 'em NOW......LOL.....actually, I like to chop 'em down while only 75% of the hair have browned.....it's sad to go too far with 'em....they look awesome !

Hairs aren't always a good indicator tho. Checking trichs is a more reliable method in determining if your bud is ready for harvesting. I'm not saying that doing it your way doesn't work for you, just a heads up. I have some SnowRyder Autoflowers and 1 pheno already looks like she's done with all the red hairs but her trichs are a different story.. Impossible as they are 48 days from seed growing under CFL's..

Holding 79 degrees so far. Thats where I want to be! Not 71 where I was with the LED alone.

Are you putting the HPS in there just for heat or supplemental lighting as well? you could always throw a couple of CFLs in there to warm it up a bit if heat is what you are looking for. granted if your temps hold at 79 then your good.. otherwise you can always pick up a few light socket plug adapters , a few 42 Watt CFL's and a powerstrip to create the heat you need.. Sorry if i'm rambling. just hit up some of the dank nugz ;) lookin good!

I was having issues with my temps being too low with the led alone so I thought about putting in something like a cfl. Then it hit me like duh, my 150 hps is sitting on a shelf doing nothing and I know I can fit it too so it was just the logical thing to put it back in! The plants can only benefit from having double the power if I can keep temps good.

Go to the first link in my sig it shows when I first built it. The exhaust has since been changed to feed into my attic.

In the beginning that was the plan till it hermied. I decided not to put all my eggs in one basket after that. I wish that damn flip cam could focus up close too!
