This is my Unkown grow. there bout 4 months old and been under 12/12 for bout 36 days. let me kno waut u think and if theres anything i can do better. do u thinks its time for that dark green one to be smoked yet?
Do you have a loupe or scope to look at the trichs. That one could have read hairs just from you touching the buds. I know when I was first getting good it was hard to keep from touching my buds. everything looks good and the other pics looks like you still got some time left. After you chop that you will say screw buying anymore.
yea i mus say i do touch it alot but i cant help it lol. it smells so good almost like a sweet but skunky smell. that one wit the "red" hairs is a little bit older that the others.
If you can goto radio shack and get a pocket microscope it will run you about $10 or so. Just look at the trichs and see what they look like. mostly cloudy with some amber chop it is ready, if the trichs look like a lot of amber its a little past due and will put you are your ass, if the trichs look clear with some cloudy let it keep going until the majority are cloudy.
That doesn't matter though, the THC isn't in the hairs predominately it is in the resin gland head of the trichomes. That's why you need a pocket microscope. The hairs really don't tell you anything unless you have grown the strain a bunch of times and kinda know what the hairs look like when it's ready for harvest.
Looks good looks like they still got about a 3weeks to a month or so left. IF they start yellowing up in the near future don't worry about it, it is normal. You don't want the plants to have a shit ton of green fan leaves at the end.
Trichomes SKunky's right.. Get yourself a loupe.. or even a magnifying glass works sometimes.. Look for these. You want the heads of these trichomes to be swollen.. The heads will start to turn a darker amber color, once they are reaching maturity. You want to go by these trichs when harvesting.. The darker the head of the trich, usually results in a more intense couchlock buzz.. Hope this helps. GFam
