I no longer go by trichomes alone, too many environmental variables( heat, humidity, stress, genetics, etc.) can turn trichomes color b4 they are fully mature.
When they stop producing white pistils and drinking water, when they look like they are dieing(fall/yellow colors on all of fan leaves)
Then they are ready, or so I have read. I put away my usb microscope for this one.

I tend to pick based on the state of the calyx, if the hairs are retracted and its swollen, i pick

Ok sweet. I didn't use any of your products on her. I will be starting better organix on my baby's from here on out.. This was my first from 4 months ago so yea lol.. All that I used on the Chem
Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil
One time bone meal
Tiger bloom
Big bloom
Grow big

that sounds like lots of P to me, anyway, add some Root Better, drop the tiger and big, just use the bone meal once if you must, but i bet FFOF has plenty of P in it too.

P is an odd element, very unstable, highly over used and will soon be regulated because its a disgrace to the environment. Insects and plants live and die, when they do they release organic forms of P, do you think there arent enough insects?
Endo Mycorrhizal fungi, and in soil, bacillus megaterium are examples of Phosphate solubisers, these break the bodies of insects and the decaying plant matter, twigs, leaves etc, in to ions of P which our plant can absorb.
Mineral P is a disgrace, only ever 15% of it makes it way to your plant. So if i said, hey mate do you want to buy some P, and then I gave you only 15% in the bottle, would you complain you were wasting your money?
So what happens to the rest of the P we add then? Ok so P in soils is water soluble (WS), active pool (AP), fixed pool (FP), the percentages are 15-25-65
When its in the FP 65% you can kiss bye bye to it for plants. Here its too late. It will be non plant available CalPhos, or AlPhos where it will leach out of the soils in to river systems, carrying heavy metals with it, acidifying our rivers, killing our fish and so on. Just cause your plants might look good, dont mean someone else aint paying for it.
If we add P, we get more and more moving to fixed pools, so it takes more and more to be plant WS, unless we use microbes that can get in to CalPhos, AlPhos and so on, and break it apart again, leaving behind the Al or heavy metals, storing the P along Mycelium, ready for when the plant requests some action.
Good endo fungus and trichoderma will help you manage P, you will see, BOX do not have many P related products, do my buds look like they lack density or style :)

Damn. Yea I finally ran out of the FFOF soil.. I think I'm gonna grab a bag of Happy Frog next.. I think I'm gonna run a few in soil because I've yet to have any problems with it & run a few in coco.. I got a buddy and we went and grabbed a DWC bucket and man does this shit grow like wildfire in there.. Pretty impressive

that tent is by far a waste of coin (cheap one) riddled with pin holes from the sawing machine on every seam so I have to use a blanket over the top when she is sleeping had a mate give me two better tents but not setting them up until she is ready for flower then ill make sure she deff wont be getting light. apart from that I can sleep with it all closed up and the lights on and only looks like a portable clothes horse so thats a plus. So in short YES i love the tents just made a poor decision with this one $52.00 inc shipping off ebay so I kinda seen it comming lol

Yea I was looking at getting a text but some of them are wayyyyyy to pricey.. There are some that aren't to bad in price. I just read that the material inside the tent can be hard to keep clean or to clean so pests are hard to keep away.. So I just wanted to ask
