I have a 4'x4'x8' space with a 400w hid light, there are 2 plants that are growing in a DWC with 4 heavily aired stones, powered by an air pump obv..the plants were about 5-6" tall June 15th, I switched them into bloom on August 24th. I am trying to figure out when to harvest. I went out and bought a 60x-100x magnifier and when I used it the trichomes, which I believe is the globs of resin? were mainly clear but appeared to be slightly milky. Can i get some insight please?

wait for the trichomes to turn about 75% milky clear trichomes means its still a little early.

now is that for 75% of the individual trichome to be milky or 75% of the trichomes to be milky? because I started using only pH balanced water a week ago and it seems that most of the trichomes are milky, but they are still a clear, watery-milky, and since im using an LED-lit magnifier it kinda glows a lil like Avatar lol

Need a better pic to be certain, but it looks like you still have a few white hairs, most of those will have receded back into the calyxes when she is getting close.

here are a couple from above. i can see that the leaves are yellowing toward the top and around the edges of the leaves. it seems like this is because i am only feeding them the pH balanced water now or flushing them. i read that if the upper leaves are turning yellow, it needs sulfur and to add a tablespoon of epsom salt per gallon, is that what i should do?

i am using a 60x-100x magnifier, im thinking of taking it back for a 30x just so it will be easier to see, considering the shakiness of such a small area
