gr8daddyg Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I've got two hybrid 50/50 plants grown from the same strain of seed, planted at the same time under the same conditions, and they've both started flowering on Jan. 16th, 2011. That's almost 4 weeks out of an 8 week flowering time. However, this particular plant is showing a lot of brown hairs to me; perhaps 60-70% coverage (as compared to the other plant, which has maybe 25-30% brown hairs, which is where I'd expect it to be at this point in time). Can you look at these pics and give me your opinion? I know it's too soon for harvest, but aren't you supposed to harvest when it looks this brown? Am I in danger of anything if I let it continue to flower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dust Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hi great, It's true that your plants has much brown for a 4 week flowering.. but it would be strange for it to be ready so soon, like jango said, the best would be to have a look at the trichomes, microscop are very cheap for some of them!But beside the brown hairs, your buds looks"young" i wouldn't cut her.. but i might be wrong of course! Have a good grow men Tchousss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest superbluehaze Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 i do not think it is ready yet.In flowering the plants go through a stage where they look ready, and in nature would be starting to form seeds, but although they look ready they are not.The plant in a last desperate bid to stay violable, start to send out new growth, and most of the weight in the buds is formed at this time;I would leave her for at least 2 weeks if not longer, and then see.Come final harvest, you will be pleased you waited.happy harvestjohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8daddyg Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Thanks all for the advice. Yes, I will leave it until the end of this month, for sure. I won't know how much weight I've got until harvest, but my guess is an 1-1 1/2 ounces per plant of bud, but that's just a guess based on the volume I can see and trying to visualize an ounce bag - it might be a little less, but I hope for more.

gr8daddyg Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hi Dust,Thanks for the advice. What would I look for with the microscope and trichomes? Sorry for the newbie question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dust Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 You will have to look at the colors of your trichomes:A not matures plant will have her trichome totaly transparent, you will through them, when she is getting closer to the end they start to get... milky i will say, i can't find another word ^^ Meaning that you won't see through anymore it will get "opac"?So once they are all milky the plants is starting to be good, some people cut once they are all milky, to get a more uplifting high during the smoke.If you let them few weeks more, the trichome will start to get ambered, that is when i personaly cut my plants, when there is 30% amber 70%milky because i don't like to be couchlocked after smoking a joint Some people wait for more ambered trichome to cut, but once they start to be ALL ambered be careful because the quality will slowly decrease from then if you let them for too long.So now it's up to you to find you perfect time to cut, depending on what high you want Have a good groTchousss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3rbalizer Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 As everyone describes the change in colour in the trichromes nearer the end of the flower process will only tell you when they are ready, there are three stages of colour change this link shows you what to look for! www.strainhunters.com/portal/content/ww-cindarella-x-20-x400-magnificaton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3rbalizer Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Leave longer than that i say drunk for that more narcotic smoke, all depends what you like to smoke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8daddyg Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Thanks for the info on trichomes, and the link. Very helpful! And I learned something new about my plants! Love it. Since it's a 50/50 hybrid and I want to bring out the Indica qualities, should I harvest when the trichomes are half amber and half milky? I know there are not hard and fast rules, so maybe just a gut feeling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest simone76 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 For me, that smoke cannabis for the indica effect, for body effect, for the pain and for sleep i prefere that the plants are complety harvest, because the trip head effect i do not like it, bye..
