What am I doing wrong with my harvest?

[batlin]

Thanks all, yea i know what a trichome is, I use a 60-100x mini pocket microscope to check they have gone from clear to milky to amber..
I use nutes, I do the Fox Farms feeding schedule and I use 6x100 CFLs (26w each) 5.5 - 6K for veg and 2.3 - 3K for flower.. And I grow in a Rubbermade stealth setup. Do I need to move to a HPS setup and ditch the Rubbermade / CFL setup? I have seen quite a few success stories on here from people using the Rubbermade setups...

Thanks again all

Umm, do you even know what a trichome is? In the sentences above you say "trich's", and "crystals" like they are 2 different things. You sure your not confusing trichomes and pistils? Pistils are the little hairs that dry up and turn reddish color. If you harvest based on when the pistils turn from white to reddish then they are probably getting chopped too early?

And like FlyinPolynesian says, what are you using for light? They really are very wispy, like they were grown with not enough light.
