Hi All, How do you tell when an AF is ready to harvest? Do you check the trichs like you do with other strains? I have a Diesel ryder that I started 11-12 that looks ready or at least all the pistils are amber and dry while I have some auto-ak-47 that are 80 days old and still don't look ready all the pistils are white (I haven't had a chance to look at them under my loupe, have family over for the holidays.

I don't go by how the pistils look because so many factors can kill them off. Touching, heat or stress of any kind blah blah blah.... Look at the trichs or just go by your gut and if you are wrong go alittle longer next time.

Thanks. I should be able to get a look tomorrow. I pollinated the diesel ryder and have another two weeks before the seeds will be ready. So far none of the fan leaves have any yellow to them yet.

I'll take some tomorrow and post them. I don't know how to take close ups how do you get the trichs whenever I try to zoom in its all blurry.

yeah just scope those trichromes and your prefrence, I've left MasterLow for awhile later and I noticed a nice calyxx swell and I like the cloudy trichromes/very amber couch lock

So here are some pictures of my little diesel ryder runt. I started her on 11-12.
