I think she's gonna hermie on me. I will know for sure tonight. I saw some spotting i didnt like. :\
im sorry i should have said that is what im told. i plan to check on trich ambers too. but was told that some strains ripen differently i think. for the life of me i cant remember where Seamaiden said how all she checks ripeness. ive been looking to just to give you the examples you are looking for. so its my fault for speaking on something without something to show for it or any personal experience. im still gonna look for the post she posted .What other factors am i going to be looking for? Aside from continued growth. Dont the trichs indicate peak ripeness so to speak?
1: Are the buds still growing and fattening up, or have they slowed down?
2: Pistils. Is it still throwing out tons of new pistils, or just mostly at the top with the rest of the bud having a reddish appearance due to all the dead pistils?
3: The plant itself. Is it still all bright green, or is it showing fading or other color changes? Is it dropping fan leaves?
I've found that by using the above metrics I can gauge just as easily, if not more so, than by using trichomes only. Also, I learned a long time ago that not all plants' trichomes will progress by the usual clear --> cloudy --> amber. Sometimes some girls will go from clear to amber, BOOM! Others cloud up and don't progress beyond that until after harvest. My "for sure" is once the buds stop growing, that's it, she's a-done.
No paranoia, but people do complain my weed gets them too high. Oh well, more for me!
what do trichs look like? %amber,%cloudy,%clear?Definitely no new green growth or new pistils. Currently they are 50% at least red hairs. It just seems to me like they plumped last weekend,
hell yeah.......Today is the day! Pictures to come!
glad it worked out for you and hope its great smoke for ya.Gotta say thanks to burn and power for your help with this. Even though I had to pull early, its ok. It proved to the powers that be that i can do what is needed. this nug was like 28g a day or two after cutting then 19g. I am just super happy i found the seeding and saved the crop. Stupid bananas!
