First time grower

[BDiggity]

I'm looking to see if it's time to harvest this plant :) This is my first time growing and it's been a bumpy ride. I have checked the trichromes under 60x mag and they look milky white, some of the other buds on the plant though so still have straight pistols and they aren't curly. So I'm not sure if it's time to harvest. I also need to flush the plant so I'm worried it may be too late. I'm looking for all the advice possible.

Are you growing in hydro, soil or coco? Flushing isn’t a certainty and is pretty subjective. But, the suggestions vary for the medium.

I’d say it’s not ready yet, imo. I’d wait to start seeing some amber and no clear at all. Be sure to check a variety of buds.

Is this photo or auto and how long has it been in flower. Looks like you still have a ways to go yet imo.

The trichromes appear cloudy, so I though it might be time. How much longer do you think I have? 4 more weeks?

They are milky.

I know not the clearest, but this is the picture of the trichromes at 60X

Hard to say how many weeks. Just keep monitoring.

from what I’ve read, hydro flushing can be done pretty soon before harvest. Like the day before.

well it’s getting light during the dark cycle because i can see signs of revegging,
KEEP IT DARK!!!
no light at all during night time.
well if the trichomes are milky your kinda there, but with revegging and looks like it’s been going on a while, i’m not sure what you should do.
my advice isn’t for you as i would be making oil or hash..
wait for someone else to tell you what to do.

You want to see amber trichomes not on leaf but on the buds themselves . Od .

i see you said 4 weeks since switch, well can’t really be milky yet, just keep it dark!

 

[BDiggity]

I have been keeping it dark. They have been in a tent getting 12 on and 12 off. I have gone in to check ph, and have put the room light on for a few minutes. I didn't think that would be an issue. I guess I screwed up. So now what? Is this plant useless at this point. What are my options? I appreciate the help and all the replies! Thanks!

Atleast 4 more weeks.

That's actually what I thought, but I was looking at the trichromes and thought it was close, but from what I'm hearing those are on the leaves, so I should wait till I see them more closely on the buds. Ill want another 4 weeks and see what happens.

The plant won’t be useless ever. If it reveges, I’ve read that it can go nuts, in a good way.

look up monster cropping. Reveging is a method intentionally used by some.

I think you may be mistaken that they are cloudy.

Also in hydro there is no need to flush. Simply just lower the ppm to under 300 for the last week or so.

Thanks! I am growing in an aerogarden and the site aeroweed https://www.aeroweed.info/ recommends a flush, so thought I would need to do it. You guys are all very helpful!!! I appreciate all the responses!!! Thanks alot!!
