Daim, those are some awesome shots!! How do you make those (sorry if asnwered 2000 times already)
When are you harvesting the NL-R? I would be chopping about now .. but might be too soon?

 

[Rexer]

Beautiful trichome shots Charlie!

They look nice and sticky

Great pics! Only seeing amber in the FP-LM and some of those look like sugar leaves. If the calyxes look like that it would in the harvest window, but if it's just the sugars it might need more time.

Yeah, I know what you mean - my computer screen has tongue marks on it. The smell is delicious too. Can't wait for the 36&CHOP, dry and cure. Maybe harvest one FP and one or two NL's next week. I will keep watch on those triches.

Yeah, I am keeping watch of them every day or two. Another week for the FP-LM (possibly more). The NL's are funny like that - they are advertised as a 6-to-8-week variety seeds - but from the trich pics I think two of them may be ready in one-to-two weeks (or more), the third one may be up to 4 weeks more - weird NL's. I plan to go the distance though and do what it takes to get a good crop. Waiting, watching and wondering...

Absolutely beautiful pics my friend.
Hope you are well today @ppm Charlie
I didn't see many white hairs.
I usually wait until they are all gone before I start checking tric's .
If you go by tric's only they could be close.
Nice work.

Stay safe
Bill

UPDATE FROM THE FLOWERING TENT​

It is 9-weeks + 3 days since beginning the flowering cycle for the three Northern Lights and four Fruity Pebbles in the flowering tent. All these 420's are slowly ripening and are on a water-only diet (plus Recharge). One of the Fruity Pebbles (FP-LR) and one of the Northern Lights (NL-F) are probably within a week of harvest, based on the quantity of red vs white hairs and the condition of the trichomes on these 420 gals. The second Northern Lights is probably 2-weeks (or more) from harvest and has mostly white hairs. The third Northern Lights (NL-R) has entered the harvest window and is ready for harvest (in my opinion). The remaining Fruity Pebbles probably realistically have 2-to-4-weeks remaining before the harvest window is reached. I have included trichome pics of the near-to-harvest Fruity Pebbles and also trichome pics for the two most-ripened Northern Lights.

Please see the following pictures and please add your comments. Thanks for visiting - please come again.

Fruity Pebbles (FP-LF) trichomes.

Getting close my friend @ppm Charlie .
Less than a week I'd say?
I'd have to see the rest of her to be sure.

Stay safe

Hey Charlie.
I'd have to see the whole plant to be 100% sure.
Judging by pics only, I see a white pistol and a lot of clear tric,s.
I'd personally give her a couple days before I put her to sleep for 36hrs.
But I need to see buds and whole plant before I make a final determination.
Beautiful work my friend.

Stay safe
Bill

I will try to post a pic of that particular NL later today - basically, complete red haired.

I was thinking that too for the most ripened NL (NL-R). As she is just entering the 420 harvest window, I think. I might keep closer watch on her over then next few days and re-judge it each day. Pretty gal though. I will try to post pic later.
