Harvest Question - Trich Colors

[Probst]

Is a shame you can't provide a photo because I'd still say it is inconclusive from what you are saying.

Again, coming back to that picture of the juicy bud you found on the net -

1) Are you saying that your plant went from just leaf and stalk before you switched to 12/12 (flowering) and then after only 2 weeks, your plant developed buds similar to that picture? Is a shame you can't provide a photo because I'd still say it is inconclusive from what you are saying.

1.) As I said in previous posts, the plants are 2 (two) months old. 2 (two) months have passed since I had planted them in soil to the point that they are now. During this time they vegged for 1 (one) month, and when they began to reveal their sex by showing their pistils. When the plant reached 8" (eight inches) from that point of showing pistils, THEN I began to 12/12 cycle. Both of the plants have been in 12/12 for 2 (two) weeks. When I said my plant resembles the ones in the pictures, I wasn't being vague, they literally look like that. The only difference is the shade of green, which is identical to the full picture of the top cola. All of this information is in my previous posts, but hopefully this clarifies things for you? Maybe this could determine if they are auto-flower?

2) Or, before you switched to 12/12, there were some signs of buds or clusters of pistils?

2.) As I said, there were pistils on the flower aside from the leaves. I'm not sure if there was bud development, but there definitely is now.. lol

If 1 is the answer, then you must be smoking too much and are either tripping or you have no concept of time!

Haha, I wish I had some to smoke. My concept of time is spot on.

If 2 is the answer, then I believe you have an auto-flower strain and being on 12/12 will not be helping your plant.
Unfortunately I have no idea if reverting back to 18+/6 will help you now or not but maybe someone with auto experience will hopefully advise.

I'm leaning more towards this one.

And on the trichomes you speak of.
You say that you found 1 amber trich on 1 plant. One??

No, I said I found several across the ENTIRE plant, not just on one or two small leaves, but across of it as a whole, and I'm beginning to find a lot more amber colored trichs across the entire plant as well.

Are we definitely clear on what the trichs are?

Yes.

There should be literally thousands of trichs coating the small "sugar leafs" that surround the buds and some also on the larger leafs in close proximity to the buds too.

Yes, there are.

If you only found 1, it doesn't indicate ripeness as you want to see at least 20% turned but usually more.

I concur, however I haven't just found one trich on one plant in one little location, I have found many across the entire plant, not just one or two locations. I've also mentioned that I have no idea what strain, or even what species it is. It's bag seed that I am trying to determine if it is auto-flower, and ready for harvest. Hopefully this helps.
