I have heard people mention that before… does it mean no water? Anything else?
What does it do for the plant? I think one of mine is actually a little past due for being harvested… but I didn’t water it last night… I usually water every-other night, so tonight would be next… I could skip it, and put it in the bathroom in the dark… it would be without water & light for four days on Friday, which is about when we were planning to chop.
Would love to hear more about this.
Thank you.
(Well, the light was on last night but I could move it tonight.)
Yes just stop watering them and switch of the lights and any heat, make it as unpleasant and stressful as possible for them. They are supposed to increase the trich production and potency.
Letting them go dry for a few days also speeds up the buds drying speed as they are drying in the pot before you chop them.
Agree. I see around 25% amber trichomes on her. She’s sativa leaning going by her leaves so if you want the full sativa effects taking her now is my recommendation BUT if you want a couch lock buzz give her an extra week maybe???
The trichomes are looking very good, but how does the rest of the plant look?
From just what you have here I’d say they are in the harvest window.
Some bud shots will show the state of the pistils (I’m guessing almost no white).
Some overall shots of the plants will show the the state of the leaves etc.
Individual cultivars express these characteristics somewhat differently.
I can take a picture later on but there are no white pistols. They look like a mature bud. There’s some yellowing of the leaves and some crispiness from a Calcium deficiency that has been fixed. I tried to do like a fade do like a fade and do like a fade and back off nutrients and a little bit of water but I think I started it too early to get that fade that a lot of the more experienced Growers get LOL but this is a picture two weeks ago
@SILLYHAPPYHIPPY they all look good! This is only my opinion… everyone likes to harvest at different times… but I choose to harvest at:
10-25% Amber
50-80% Milky
10-25% Clear
I would harvest if I were you… I see some amber, milky, & clear trichomes. But if your schedule is busy… you have some time if needed.
I am in a similar spot at 10 weeks. Too many clear trichs.
Great pictures BTW.
I would wait until there is a good mix of cloudy and amber trichs.
No one likes to hear the “wait another 2 weeks” but you want all the good bits in the trichs to ripen more.
Best of fortune with your grow!
