Do i wait until ripe to flush or before PICS

plants are 6 weeks more then 50 percent of pistols of red and some are even withering. with 45x microscope its hard for me to see the bulbs of the trichomes. anyway if it helps i use roots organics soil. They look like thin buds but they are rockhard.

2/3 weeks to go you have loads white pistils to popping wait untill 80/90% pistils are red then flush it take a long while for cannabis to become over ripe

^ Agreed, 2 to 3 more weeks atleast

Try to time it so your flush is complete the same time as your plants are finishing. Ensure the plants are flushed before you pull. Its better to wait than too have sparking buds tasting like nutes. I pull when 80 percent of trichomes are amber. Youll get down your technique as you find your particular style and strains you like. Every grow is different and every grower has a different way. Your weed will be the best because it will be grown how you want, to your specs. Enjoy the fruits of your labor and give us a smoke report when they are dried and cured.

Thank you, especially ambbannert that was exactly the answer i was looking for. I mean what ive been reading is that it depends on your preference on a stoney high with amber trichs or a cererbal high with cloudy trichs. Is a 45x micro sufficient for seeing this. I also thought that the majority of club medicine is harvested depending on the strain ex. sativas get harvest with more cloudy trichs and vice versa. thanks again, this is my only my 3rd grow and the first 2 were outdoor so i basically harvested when frost came.
