Need help. Thrichome Check. Harvest now?

[Holminator]

Day 82/week 11 of flowering.

First time LED Grow

Chop now or wait a couple of days?

Also, whats up with that thrichome in the last pic?

 

[Bilber]

Some strains throw purple trics......not a problem......

She looks great.....

I'm not into couchlock, but your right around the corner of it being done......

If you're going the distance, give it at least another weekish, then post another picture......

Don't always listen to the first answer you get.....many different ways......just pick the one that fits your needs.....

Dam that’s hella weight! Good shit brah!

Not knowing the characteristics of your strain, but I would say this is "days" away from being ready (less than a week).
Good work.

P.S. What kind of microscope are you using to get those close ups? What's the resolution? 30x?

Thanks ended up chopping them at 14.jan at 12 weeks. 910grams dry weight with 10 plants.
The microscope is IWOBAC 50x-1000x Fixed-focus microscope. Image Resolution: 1920*1080P.

Holy shit!

Holy shit!

Yeah I was very suprised myself having grown HPS for some years. Very dense nugs and more/ better smell before chop. Hopefully i can bring that out during curing. Unfortunately had to cut the colas up and dry them on racks, instead of hang dry whole plant so im not sure how good it’ll be in comparison.

We’re concerned about mold? What environment numbers do you shoot for during the dry?

A good led is superior for sure

Yeah after chopping i opened up one of the colas and noticed the tiniest amount of mold starting. I opened up every cola and cut away the «beginning of mold». Should probably have had a couple of nodes/bud sites extra under the colas to spread the weight better and down even more on humidity the last week or two, i was around 37%RH then, could probably be more towards 30%.
In drying the first day i ran low 35% rh and then i went to 18 Celcius and 65%RH

Nice job

Thank you :)

Btw any advice to combat the tiny mold i got? Taller structure of buds with added side light to help light penetration?
This time i will atleast top the plant two times to avoid having a big main branch.
And even lower RH during last weeks.

I drop my rh to 50 upon flip and lower it slowly down to 30% by the final week and have a lot of air flow, a spore can't land in a wind storm

I legit can’t make out the mold?

Its not easy to see and i dont know if i would call it mold at this stage but its in its infanty stages i belive. It looks like bigger thricomes but theyre yellow. And the affected area is always between two buds on a cola, the area that does not get any light or airflow. So the area looks lighter in color, light/bright green instead of dark.

Aha I think I can make it out now.

To me it looks like bud rot
