I do not ever check trichs. I follow the Doc method and try to let them go until they stop spitting out white hairs and slow down on drinking. I have found a lot of weight is gained in those last few weeks as well. I probably should check trichs but I have a hard time focusing with a hand loupe and do not have a way to get a digital one to my plants. I suppose I could cut buds and bring them to my computer though.Interesting...Do you do this because that’s what the strain needs, or is it simply more convenient timing to harvest at 10 weeks? I ask, as I have some strains that are done at 52-56 days...lots of Amber trichromes if I go beyond that and a more narcotic high.
Thanks for stopping by Dutchman, and the kind words!
