My WW had been 60 days of flowering,

trichome yesterday,

other expert told me that i can harvest on

70 days of flowering,so it's the last 10

days,dose the trichome can become to

Anything you read on WW will tel you that depending on breeder and pheno., it can actually take up to 11-12 weeks to fully mature.
I have buds on my WW, the lowers, the colas were cut 7 days ago and the lowers are on day 70 today.
Patience is key man, just wait it out, you'll be glad ya did.....trust me!!

I've noticed that the amber trichome tend to appear more around the yellow parts of the leaves, so if there is a lot of yellow then its a good sign

for you i would say yes. Do the calyx look to be swelled up nice and fat?
If in soil, start flushing now, with clean PH'd water. Do that for at least a week. But keep watching trichs.

You are homegrowing in Hong Kong? Do you live in the New Territories? How big is your flat?

I think a tear just fell from my eye. I'm so proud. I had no idea people were growing over there, especially Chinese!

There will plenty of time to flush, don't worry. it's all about patience. Better to pick later then too early, you've come this far. If you've come this far, then maybe you are willing to go a bit farther. Hope is a good thing Red...here's hoping....wait that's from a movie. Just be patient.

out. :blsmoke:

adding a uvb light will help the buds finish, like a cheap reptile light you can get at pet stores. also i've heard of growers lowering light to 8 hours a day the last week of flowering to help the buds finish, i've never tryed it though. i have a uvb light on my white rhino and hawaiian snow in week 7 right now, and about 90% of the trichomes are milky.

How many weeks has it been in flower of 12/12?
What strain is it?
WHat nutes are you using?
Flushing is not a known cause of death for pot plants. Flushing will not hurt the plant, just make it yellow out and lose the nitrogen inside. Hence making the finished product smell and taste better. You want to flush at least one -two weeks before harvest.
I would say if you are at least 6-7 weeks in flower, then start flushing now with the clean PH balanced water, AND NO NUTES, for two weeks.
Be patient and you will love the results.
