I've attached few pics. First timer, growing jock horror in hydro, (drip method). i transitioned for two weeks, (mixing grow and bloom organic nutes slowly reducing into ful bloom. Began transition May 24. Starting to see orange hairs, though not evident in these pics. Calls for 9-11 flowering. Does that count Transition time? Should I invest in jewelers glass for better trichrome visibilty to insure proper timing? Thx in advance for any feedback

Looks really good, best to wait till most if not all the hairs turn orangey and normaly the fan leaves start to yellow and die.

And you should also get something to see the trichs with. I wouldn't go off the hair color, some strains bairly turn amber.

You have many weeks to go yet, more than enough time to read the harvest and curing forum here, you'll see everything from instructions on how to see/read trics, and see many pictures of what finished buds look like. A flowering time window of 9-11, is more like 11-14. It's not when you 12/12, but when you see buds forming that you 'count down' so to speak.

Keep doing what you're doing and they're going to be delicious, they look very nice.

Thanks Anymouse. I am reviewing forum archives now. What's puzzling me is my one plant is really maturing much faster it seems. It pistols are drawn in and orange, looked at trich's under mic and they are cloudy, (on main branches), but fan leaves aren't really yellowing yet. I haven't flushed yet. I was waiting for 9nth week for 2-3 week flush. Of course just really want to optimize more quality than yield. They have only been flowering almost 5 weeks. Please if anyone will give me feedback much appreciated!!

Radio shack sells a 10x-100x microscope look it up on line or go in the store. It costs like 18 bucks, and you can watch everything you need to, without forking out big bucks.

good luck
