Pineapple Express ready for harvest?

[eggzin]

It's top drip hydro --how close to harvest? Should I start flush? How many days away from cutting do you think I am?

The trichomes are all over the map, depending where on the plant I'm looking --clear, cloudy, and amber.

First some shots of the pistils, then some microscope shots.

Microscope shots

Thanks for your help!!

She's almost done I would give her about a week that way she can get more of a narcotic Stone to her I have this strain myself

I would say it is ready for the opposite reason that Imhigh85 quoted. I like my weed on the lighter side and harvest earlier then some. As the trichomes turn amber they are starting to break down. Don't wait to long or you can loose potency.

Thanks very much you guys. I think I'm going to flush for two days and then cut it down. I prefer the narcosis but my wife prefers the head high. This seems like a a happy medium.

There you go. No upside to you being happy when the wife isn't. If she is not you will never be LOL

Yes Jack, that is definitely my experience... I've quick dried some buds and she is definitely happy with the experience. And for that reason now I'm happy.
