IM harvesting my first plant. its blueberry grown in soil in her 6th week. how do i gage the trichomes? when do i flush? once I see buds are ripe? or prior?
go get a cheap 40x microscope. watch the trichs to get a little cloudy. Do u know how long the strains flowering time is. I usually give 10-14 days flush in soil sometimes a little longer.
I personally use a 60-100x Pocket Microscope that i got for $10 from Radioshack to check my triches. I have used some weaker microscopes, but with the 60-100x magnification i can see the triches alot clearer. When to harvest depends on personal preference. I prefer to harvest either when the Triches are 100% Cloudy, or 20-30% Amber and the rest Cloudy. I usually flush about 10 Days before harvest.
