trichome check...

[smoky mcpot 05]

first off, props for takening photos that look have decent through that scope, I honestly didn't think it was possible...you proved me wrong. Second, it goes from clear, cloudy/ milky, amber/ golden. He got that part right. But as far as effects. Clear, is pure THC, you will want to harvest your sativa or sativa dominant plants at this point to truely feel the best effects of the sativa high. It will be cerebral and a head high. Cloudy is starting to convert to CBN has a balance of high and body, harvest your hybrids at this point for a pretty even mix. Amber most of the THC has coverted to CBN and CBN's lesse psycoactive ingredient that I forget what its called right now. Couch lock, body high the best kinda high for pain relief. Harvest your Indica or Indica dominant plants at the point for the most couch lock/ pain relieving high. Your last set of photos look pretty good, lots of Capitate Stalked Trichomes, a few are getting ready to 'burst' with heads developing a little point meaning there packed full with THC and very easily ruptured. I'd say you have less than a week, to know for sure your going to have to nip a few calyx's off the top of the cola!

just dry it out well, no point in curing such a little sample, and smoke it. And yea a little piece of bud. Also theres tons of information and dis-information going around the cannabis community in general. I speak only from first hand experience of over 25+ years the only information I will pass on is that which I know to be true, not just because I read it somewhere it must be true, because as you 'grow' in this game. You'll realize even the top 'cannabis experts' will completely disagree on some aspects and its your responsiblity to find out whats the truth. I say only the truth my friend. And your correct about the harvest points. Glad to help, hope I cleared up some of the confusion. Best of luck and a Happy Harvest. :thumbsup:

yes u have been a tremendous help brah....i have learned alot jus from wha u have told me....and like u said im jus gonna have to find out form experience as well...im jus gonna go by the info u have shared wit me and my own judgment and c how i like them in different stages and what not...im jus having trouble determing tha color of the trics...i say they r mostly clear and my girl says she sees alot of cloudy nes...so i guess im jus gonna have to take a few more samples, compare them and jus go wit my own judgement...but i would believe they r close if not past, b/c they have been flowering like i said for over 70 days....again thnx for all the help thru this trics check and sh*t, i will keep u updated....Pzzz

Thats great, thank you for your thanks, lol. Theres nothing that makes me happier than to help others to grow the best herb. Yes I too had trouble determining the color of trichomes at first. The best way is to look at them from the beginning of budding til harvest. (which of course you didn't have the option of doing this time) Also the issue of Weed World I believe it was 61 or 62 that had the micro photos of trichomes in different stages will help you alot. You might try to find something on it somewhere on the web. Its alot easier to judge when you have something to compare too. I would think the would be ready too as your strains are both indica dominant and 70 days is a bit long for a indica dom. hybrid. Again happy harvest.

To be honest, I had those photos of trichomes but I wasn't going to post them because the don't really show you the right thing. I mean ruffly there okay, but you'll never see anything that looks like that through the microscope. I'll try and find some online photos of what I was talking about and let you see the difference. Once again, glad to help out. And you have a great week sir!
