Trichomes Not Changing

Bluephoria · Nov 1, 2019

Hi there!
This post will be filled with vague info, so I apologize. This plant has been in flower for quite a while, though I can’t remember how long, and I don’t know the strain. However, the trichomes aren’t changing to amber. I’m using a 45x microscope to check. Any thoughts?

Edit to add: my best estimate of time in flower is about 6-7 weeks. Next time I’ll keep better records

In my opinion its not ready, full plant pic would be good too, theres some growers on here that can tell you for sure though

6-7 weeks is pretty early in my opinion, although it looks like a indica heavy strain. I'd give it at least 3 weeks more as they really swell up and get a lot of flavor during the very end of flowering. I often grow 12-14 weeks for some Sativa strains, but 10 weeks is more the avg for an Indica strain. I look for the Trichome color change, the yellowing of the larger fan leaves (if not overfed) and the buds developing pointy tips and develop 1 bladed leaves... when I see some of these signs, especially a few or all of them, then the time is here to chop. Flushing is optional depending on if you think it helps anything. I don't flush personally, but I grow with a fraction of the nutrients that some growers use, so I'll leave that choice to you.
