image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg hello to all growers!! I’m a beginner in indoor growing I have a 4x4 tent with 1000watt led full spectrum grow light carbon filter fans and all that other stuff.. I’m currently got a 60 day lemon plant going from dna genetics I’m on day 62 I believe and can’t determine if it’s ready yet I’ve looked at tricomes threw growers hand scope 60x-120x magnification Looks like they are milky some look like they have a amber color/tint to them but also clear like glass I’ve done my research on it... but can’t seem to make the call if it ready to pull and harvest!;) if anyone can share advice anything at all would be greatly appreciated thank you all

I didn’t think so either... I was thinking it may have at least 2 weeks let on it. I’ve got it on 18/6 light schedule. I’ve also tried lollipop if the plant as well so to have focus on the bud development. Do you think I could be burning it up I’m not using much nutrients on it.... using flower fuel, fox farm big bloom, custom bloom and custom bloom builder

You have a horrible light. I'm sorry but you got scammed. Invest in a better grow light for the next grow. You'll get plently of advice on that if you start a thread asking about lights. Traditional hid is cheaper an works good. Led is expensive and works good too. Cmh is also a good choice.

You have a burple. That's not even what people around here call a led, they call that a mistake.

I am blunt but I want you to succeed.

Ok good to know... I’ll ease off on the nutes by half dose and see what response I get out of it. Also my light has veg and bloom mode on it should I have both veg n bloom on or just bloom (all red) that’s what I’ve got it on now just bloom... when I started I have veg&bloom on together then once sprouted hairs I switched over to just bloom?!

Check out cobkits.com if you wanna save money and build your own LED lights. Timber makes some good ones and have some DIY kits also. HLG Quantum boards a lot of people rave about. BCblondes.com makes a good light also but pricey.

How long have you been on 18/6? You maybe in revegetation mode. It doesn't look like it but based on the pics you look like you are about 3 to 4 weeks in flower.

I seriously doubt you have any amber trikes on that lady, her pistils are still white and haven't even started to recede.

Next time take it easy on the defo, in fact say no to defo.

Ok thanks I wasn’t sure if they had amber color to it or if it was just my eyes tricking me... That’s what I’ve heard about the pistils/hairs and when 80% or more are turned to color then that’s good way to tell as well.. just didn’t know with this 60 day lemon autoflower seed

For about 4 weeks maybe on 18/6. I’ll be 9 weeks on Friday the 8th. From sprout.. and hairs started showing up on it round mid 2 weeks

Are you saying they are a total of 9 weeks old, with the last 4 weeks being on an 18/6 light cycle and pistils showing the last 2 weeks?

If that is correct are they autoflowers? Is it this?

Edited: LOL seriously, I just reread this and realized you said you were running autos. I need to smoke less pot. You're fine, defoliate less, now be patient!

Ok but it’s in flower now.. would it hurt/shock it if I switch light schedule back to 12/12

I see you have auto flowering, I apologize I can't give advice on those, the led however I can recommend what I think are good products.
I just started using hlg quantum boards on veg and a fluence spydr for flowering and highly recommend either one. The qb's are STRONG!!! Be very careful of light shock if you get them! I plan to flower with qb's once i get the correct spectrum for that.
The spydr has been great to me this round considering it took over half way through flowering from some other leds I was testing.. It has amazing light coverage/penetration and great spectrum!
Regardless be prepared to spend some $$ these lights ain't cheap but i think they are well worth it..
