Week 12 still clear trichomes what’s going on?

Do you have a fresh well flushed one to try?

Do you have a well flushed one to try? I’m not a flusher

I mean fresh cut well flushed bud.

Nope. Not fresh. The bud in the video has been curing for 4-5 weeks now.

I would like to see more studies on flushing and curing. I've had great results both ways. It may have to do with type and amount of nutes, as well as plant maturity and other factors.

I sure wish I had done 1 plant with nutrients. And one plant with pure water.

then one plant with no flush. And one plant with a super flush. Maybe next grow. Too many experiments. Too little time.

I hear that. My little closet is too small to do much. Without using identical clones, the results of any experiment is questionable.

The microwave trick sounds interesting and would be easy to pull off. I happen to have 3 of the same strain and all are 5 weeks into flower. All have been fed and grown in same room so same condition through out grow. I plan on going 9 weeks with them. What i can do if others are interested is post my results here or make a thread.

One plant I will feed all the way until chop. One I wil do the flush where you get run off ppm to 0 14 days prior to chop, and the final one ill do what I normally do. On week 7 I feed Ph'd water but don't get run off to let plant just feed on whats left in coco. Then on week 8 I give a Phd water feed till a fair amount run off(ppm still not close to 0). And then I only water when coco is almost bone dry till chop. On top of that I lower temps/humidiry and raise/dim lights beginning of week 8.

No science behind that method except starting the process to reduce water concentration with in plant with out killing them before chop to aid in drying after chop. And to make them feel like they are fighting to live before chop. When week 9 ends and pots are fully bone dry its 48 hours of darkness at 68f and 45 humidity. After darkness ill microwave 3 fresh buds from each plant and film to see if there's any difference.

Anyone have thoughts to add to aid in the expirement.
I use bluelab ph/ppm/temp monitor. Even have di resin to make sure run off on flushed mediun is 0 ppm for 2 weeks.

Also not trying to thread jack. After reading my interest was peaked on the microwave trick to see if theres any truth to it.

Imo those plants look done. If it were me I’d chop em, start cleanup and get the next round started. Not sure what you’re looking to do but you’ve done a good job so far. Enjoy the fruits of your labor!

Are you skipping cloudy and going for all amber?

They look done to me aswell the Seed site claims it’s a 10week flower but i understand that is in best conditions possible so I figured I go 12 weeks but trichomes seem to not be Progressing very fast they’ve looked the same for about a week now( remaining clear won’t go cloudy) and swelling appears to have stopped..I may just chop an start a new grow

No I was hoping for a nice mix of amber and cloudy but plant seems to have stalled and remaining clear won’t go cloudy has been the same for about a week now

 

[JWM2]

Usually I like mostly cloudy, a few amber, and a few clear. But that’s me personally. I’m not necessarily going for the peak potency but rather peak ripeness.

Max THC is all cloudy, amber gets more into the body couch lock status. Both are good depending on what you’re looking for. I’d say she could be ready any day based on what you’re looking for. The remaining could go cloudy Overnight.

Will keep an eye on her couple more days then chop, thanks!

Temps are not low about 75 the sugar leaves are 100% amber but buds seem to only have 10% or so Amber from what I can tell, thanks for the info

Uhh that is low temps by the way
