I do, I’ll take a look.
I looked with a 60x loupe, they are either really tiny trichomes (my eyes are shot, I can’t see too well) or tiny respiration droplets. They are on the tops of the leaves, not the bottoms, where I presumed the transpiration takes place.
Does transpiration occur on both sides of the leaves?

This is the big plant in the Bay Area.
Tangerine Dream auto, just starting week eight.
It did its flowering thing, most of the pistils turned red (around 60-70%), now it’s pumping out a whole new batch of pistils and calixes. I’m not sure if some plants do that again at this point or if I goofed something up.
I’m hoping it adds a bunch of weight to the buds.

My 4/20 flip of the golden kiwi x watermelon punch didn’t take place as I expected.
I prepared a different timer, set the time properly, set the little buttons for hours on.
Didn’t turn off the outlet/switch switch.
So, my plant was getting 24:0, when I thought it was on 12:12
Doggone switch.
Ok, that’s now corrected, I’ll be checking that in the future

Yesterday, pg&e lost power to my foothills location.
It dropped about 10 in the morning, during both plants light cycle, fortunately as with no fans things were getting dicey fast.
Pg&e sent a message stating after 5pm expected restoration time.
I unhinged both plants and moved them into the sun and fresh air, realizing the risk of bugs, I aired them anyway.
Turns out, 45 minutes after I extricated them, power was back.
I took the opportunity to clean as much as I could before returning everything to the proper location.
Sun did my new flip a world of good, looking like she doubled overnight. It is leggy due to being abused as a clone. I will be interested to see how it turns out.
The first plant appears to have enjoyed getting a tan and some glamour shots.

Golde kiwi x watermelon punch
Clone.
Flipped 4/23/23, originally flipped 4/20, but because of 4/20 activities I forgot to turn the timer switch on
Ok, she really is enjoying the hormonal changes from veg to flower!

Apples and bananas
Clone
End of week 7, expected 9 to 10.
Just chugging along now.
Feeding well, drinking well and loving the golden weeks. I’m hoping to harvest sometime in early May.

I’m a bit puzzled this morning.
looking at the Apples and Bananas plant with a 40x loupe, it’s entering week 8 tomorrow, it is “supposed to be” a 9 week finisher. I’m expecting a 9 plus. If not 10, but about 60% trichomes are milky, 30% still glassy clear, the remainder are kinda milky with a little reddish dot visible in the middle.
I’d love to post a pic but have no close up camera here this week.
I’m thinking to wait, but I don‘t want to over ripen them.
From that description, do they sound near ready or wait?
I’ll be gone for a week beginning this weekend, so I have 2 days or 10 days left?
Enquring minds want to know?

I’m too new, but I’d wait. I’d rather some amber than clear. IMO

Apples and bananas
Week 7, day 1 (50 days).
Expected to go 9 weeks.
Getting really close. More than half trichomes are milky, the rest are either clear or milky with a tiny red dot forming in the middle of the top.
I need to learn patience, she looks ready but I know she’s only going to get better.
I thought a brief review might be fun.
From this: to this:
It’s nice watching them grow, each cycle is a learning experience.
I’m certainly looking forward to doing better in the harvest, dry and curing process.
I’m still a couple weeks out but time is nigh, no time like the present to prepare.
Enjoy the spring my friends, we broke 90 degrees, 10% humidity today, felt like just over a thousand degrees when it’s right down to the finish line.

Just keeps getting showier.
The top cola is nearly beer can thick! Still throwing a lot of new pistils though.

Foothills grow.
Plant 1, Apples and Bananas, clone vegged 5 weeks before flip.
Top colas looking really close, no white pistils, trichomes mainly white with a sprinkling of clear left.
I took one small branch that had become too heavy to hold itself up. There were 10 buds on the small branch, I cleaned a smaller one just to get a feel for what it’ll look like.
I’m pleased, waiting at least another week to decide when to chop.
As this plant is nearing completion, my second plant, Golden Kiwi x Watermelon Punch is in its first week after 12:12 flip.

The buds are so sticky that the sugar leaves were “paper mache’d” onto the surface of the bud.
No peeling it off.
I’ll need to wet trim immediately when I give this one the chop.

Great Job, I do see some minute signs of Heat stress here and there, heat stress causes the leaf to taco or having the edges lift up to lessen the available leaf surface area. Your Rocking and Rolling for your first Grow my friend! Keep up the fantastic work brother!

Wait longer, I'm going 11 weeks on everything now, It just seems to thicken and harden. Even at 11 weeks I don't see over 10% amber on the buds. If there's any still clear I'd hold off......I've read it on here that many are upset they cut too early buy few are upset they cut too late.......
