Hey Dbdub,

I’m thinking you’ve got the terminology crossed up. I didn’t see your trichs well enough to make any determination but I do see that your pistils are changing colors. A scope is needed to see the trichs, it requires about 30/60 X magnification.

What strain is it? Do you know breeders estimate for how long it should run?

44 days is typically too early to harvest.

These are like 12 to 17 bucks, grow shop or online. This is what you need to be able to see your trichs close enough to gauge when it’s time to harvest. There are other models, some have 2 lenses like jewelers loupe or usb microscope type.

I have a scope. I didnt post any pics of trichomes. I started seeing a couple turn amber. This is my first harvest and dont wanna mess it up
 
Harvest is personal preference really, if ur seeing the Amber u want don’t let us stop u, where r u looking at the trics? Top buds, bottom buds, leaves?
For now top bud. Didnt look in bottom bud not leaves. Will definitely have to spend some time looking this afternoon.
One is a oro blanco other is a haze
I saw all the new pistils and it made me think I should wait a bit
 
No worries I am the newbiest noob of all!! Great glad to hear about scope!

There is a thread post in this same forum titled “Should I flush?” It’s short & good read covers same points in more depth.

Often with strain names you can search on Seedsman to find the breeder & get stuff like lineage & average run time to harvest, etc. then there is the big European strain finder site too.

Flushing is a TOTAL MYTH theres a scientific study on the site somewhere. Save yourself time n headaches
 
I was reading that in some article and made me wonder. I'm tempted to just water like normal till I'm ready to chop

Yes, feed all the way to harvest.



Can you takes leaves off during flower as you do during veg? I'm on day 44 and I feel like I should trim some leaves. Seems thick and inner area is a real bright green compared to top of canopy


Go ahead and give a bit of a haircut. Get it open to some light inside.
