Need help

[svarc]

Hi there.
I am new in this forum but I am not new in growing M. I am home grower for 4 years. But I have problem with harvesting time.
So can someone tell me when to harvest this beauty?
It is planted 15 June this year and it started to flower on 11 August. Today it is in 72 day flowering. Somewhere 90 % of the white hairs are now brown if this helps in some way. There are just few new flowers emerging from the buds that are 2 or 3 days old no new flowers from then. Main big leafes fall down just fiew remain on the main stalk.
I have hard time to notice if the trichomes are clear,cloudy or amber. I have profesional microscope but i cant decide a color of the trichomes.
I will send pictures from trichomes thru microscope tomorow.
This pictures are from day 36 flower.
Best wishes.

Day 72 of flowering? What kind of lighting are you using?

It looks to be flowering no more than 4 weeks. White hairs are most present and there are no buds (yet). That plant has a ways to go yet as there are no formed buds yet.

You either have lack of light or it's been flowering for a much shorter time than that.

EDIT: I just read your post again and I misread. Those are from day 36 then of flowering? We have no idea what they'd look like at day 72. Post a current picture so we can help answer your question a little accuratly.

Thanks man for the replay.
As first i am very ashamed about showing that picture with masacred plant but it is very dificult for me to judge when the plant is for harvest. Only to mention from day 55 flower this plant gives very good high and as the time pases the high is stronger and longer lasting. Last night somewhere 23h i smoke the little bud that is in those photos and it fill half black small OCB rizlas and my brain is still badly damaged now is 2:20 here.
Those are the pictures but they are all litle blur. It is very hard task to take pictures with webcam thru microscope.

looking good
you are looking at the tricks to be about 80% cloudy and about 20% amber befour you harvest
hope this helps
cheers all

here is update of the pictures with better view of the top bud.
i will accept your sugestion i will wait week more.
I have another question.
Tre trichome head is ball sorrounded by thin membrane filed with cannaboids. right? when the bud is raw that membrane is easy destructible. the weed that i wass smoking in the past was comercial weed and on paper leave hard trichome heads with amber color.

Does the trichome heads solidifyes after drying or after curing for a long time and change color from cloudy or white to amber?

Is that baby a pure Haze? If not, what is the strain?

The trichs change colour while the plant is still alive. It's a sign of them maturing, I believe. They do dry out while drying the buds and the older the bud the dryer and smaller they become, shrinking down as the moisture leaves them. Something like a grape turning into a raisin.

Yes Tommygirl HAZE. But i think i give her less light that it needs. I could get some bigger plant.
Does the plant requere high ammounts of light during flowering in the photoperiod?
Someone else with pictures of Haze?
Is there anybody who have pictures of analyzing trichomes for harvesting? Like journal - progress of trichomes maturing.
