Question about harvest time.

[insane420]

I am going day 64 of flower and I was checking the trics under a scope and I am at about 98% cloudy. However, pretty much all the pistols on the plant are still white and show no signs of dying off. Has anyone had experience with this and should I just wait it out a bit longer?

Thanks,

Depends how you like it to turn out.Dont go by the pistils.Harvesting by watching the trichomes under a microscope is the best way.It is fool proof.

I guess it has just been throwing me for a loop and I am overthinking it. My past harvests have never went like this. Usually when the trics are 100% cloudy, a good majority of the pistols have turned colors as well. Thanks for the input.

Hello, Im planning on 65 days flowering. Just wanted to ask if people here start to count flowering days from the day they switch to 12/12 or the first day of white hairs?

For indoor growers it usually means from the start of 12/12. For outdoor growers it usually means at the first sight of flowers.

see the Zeus link in my sig. I personally don't like much amber trichs in my bud but it's a worthwhile read.

I use GH Ripen if im having any ripening issues. stuff works really well, just dont go too strong(High EC) or use for too long( I use for aroung 5-7 days-no more or i get nanners due to stress). It stresses the plant into Finishing/Ripening & enhances oil production etc, I use if the plant is still throwing out loads of pistils or is struggling to ripen off. just remember to Flush well, Its good stuff to have about .
