White Rhino Finished?

Hey guys....been a reader on the boards for a while but never posted. just finished my most current run of Rhino. Im trying something new. Im never good with picking exact finish time. Ive tried the microscope and trich method but never seem to be able to pick amber trichs well. So this time i simply went with 60 days flower and more than half the hairs being reddish. Im going to try the 48 hour dark period this time as well. Im posting a couple pics to see what you guys think as far as if they look done. Yeild looks to be heavy as the buds are hard and nuggetty. All 5 plants turned out identical. Thanks for all the advice over the years as without this community i couldnt troubleshoot all the issues ive had over the years!!!Attachment 274248Attachment 274249

Hello tmold44,

I grow the heck out of white rhino in both my personal grow and a partnered grow, one of my all time vavorites and has great medicinal properties.

Not sure why the simple handheld microscope doesn't work for you, either you can see the trichomes are clear, cloudy or amber or you can't see them at all? Have you tried clipping one frosty leaf, put it on a pce of white paper to view. Many people find it easier to adj 'scope that way.

From your pics, it appears they are mature, but desired effects are dependent on that ratio of cloudy/amber.

As to puting your plants into darkness 48 hours, IT WILL DO NOTHING FOR YOUR PLANTS OR BUDS. In fact it is a waste of time. If you are concerned about not getting enough amber trics, you would be better served to leave your lights on for those two days. The chemical process that turns trichomes from clear to cloudy to amber is a function of LIGHT.

Hope this helps you,:thumbsup: BTW, some clear trichomes

Thanks for the assistance. i know there is no reason why i am not successful with the micro and trichome identification....it comes down to every different sample i view usually looks different and i can never make up my mind if its done or not. typically i fin the trichomes closest to the stems as the most eveloped and the ones on the outer leaves seem more imature. Anyway....all are down and 6 days into drying. I have it all in paper grocery bags to start the cure process. soon will go to jars for daily venting and final cure. i have sampled some already....incredibly smooth with a fruity/spicy punch that lets you know its potent. Nice uplifting yet relaxing long high...almost opiate like. Ended up with 27 ounces at weigh on transfer to brown bags today from the 5 plants....my guess is it will lose another ounce or so in water weight. So still not bad if it ends up 25 ounces from 5 plants. Best yield ive had yet. Ill post some more pics when it gets jarred to show the end product....i can definitely say they are very sugary and as they dry almost appear as white buds until close inspection. Ive never had my rhino look like that before and these are same seeds....kinda weird. Again thanks for the advice and to all who have shared and contributed over the years i thank as well as this is the only place to learn!!!!

wow bro nice job they look very nice and READY I have some white rhyno x g13 xlsd 1 going now 4 day of flowering hope mine look as nice as thease take care bro whats up with what you said about the 48 dark period im kinda new to indoor growing ive always grown out doors

Thats pretty good with the drying weight. I usually loose over half the weight from cutting to curring. So where did you get the Rhino seeds? I got mine from Nirvana. They are still in veg so hopefully they turn out like yours and i will be more than happy. Great grow!

Oh My God...those nugs look so delicious...I know what my next order is going to be....
