Amber Hairs

[budluv]

Ok, I have a simple question

My plants have been in the budding cycle for 5 weeks going on its 6th today
I've looked at photos of people plants in the same week of development all over the net and noticed that all the hairs are completely white and standing straight up.

My plant on the other hand has about 50% amber hairs on them--- Is that a bad thing or might I be doing something wrong?

No they are not Autos

some can finish quicker than others some 6 weeks some 12 weeks , some pistols dont like light to close or warm fan air on them ,
do you know what strain you have ?

good luck

They are outdoor plants in Direct sunlight - No fans or lights

They're just maturing. Sounds normal to me.

I'd start looking at your trichomes with a scope so you know when you'll be harvesting.

 

[budluv]

I don't have a scope, I was going to base it off the number of weeks spent in flowering
I might try and use my macro lens- that might work lol

Ehh.. to harvest properly, you really need to look at trichomes.

Nothing else is accurate or guaranteed.

Bought a cheap one.. Hope it works lol

What magnification? Most recommend about 30x minimum, I'm using a 60x and it works fine for what I need.

160x-200xs magnification for $6.50 off ebay

I think I've become immune to the smell of my buds even though they are outside and I only smell them once a day lol

 

[Antics]

lol wow that's strong. That might even be too strong.. at 60x sometimes it's difficult to control.

Oh well, I only need it to work once right
I'll just cut off a sugar leaf and bring it inside to check out

Sugar leaves can mature faster than the buds themselves from what I've read. BUT this can probably vary by strain too.

I've been checking trichomes on both on my plants now, and Cali Jack I have almost 50/50 cloudy/amber on the sugar leaves, but the buds are all still clloudy with some clears. No ambers spotted yet on any buds.
