Are these ready?

[Finnicki]

Got my magnifier. So are these ready or are these still clear? Thanks.

The trichomes look like they are mainly cloudy, with some clear and amber.
You should check the calyxes, not the sugar leaves. The calyxes usually mature more slowly than the sugar leaves.

Ya...don't look at sugar leaves, real bud area for sure

Plus full bud pics help a lot to judge them as well

I shot two images this am but this site won’t accept the images. Too much info there, one was a wider image, one macro. Oh well...

 

[Old Salt]

There is a size limit to the images posted here. If the images are greater than 1280 x 1280 pixels, any graphics program can be used to re-size them.

Here’s a photo from this evening. Taken with the iPhone only. No magnification.

By that pic I say she needs a couple more weeks

Some leaves on one plant, the older one, has leaves that appear a red color underneath the grow light. I bring the bags out of tent to foto them and that red disappears. They take on some yellow. I have watered them. But no nutes in at least a week.

The last foto is one of the younger plant. Older plant by a week or so has the red tint on some leaves.

Feed her uptill Harvest

We don't flush anymore

another way to check - if the pistals are 80% amber the plant is entering into the "harvest" window> A old saying is: "Once you feel/think your plant is ready for harvest THEN give it another week or 2 - then harvest, Happy Harvest !! your harvest is a personal thing, what you want (type of "high")

Is it baad to reuse FFOF after you have harvested the mature plant? Maybe use some new, fresh soil in with the old? Thanks.

 

[Finnicki]

No reply needed. Found some old info like 12 years old about FFOF. Carry On...

 

[Dankman_420]

When in doubt let it roll at least another week. Then check

Looked at trichs tonight for the first time in a few days, thru magnifier, and they look clear. On the small leaves near calyxes. This is on the older plant. I have two auto fems. Late November they were put in soil, in bags, in the tent. I thought these were quicky plants. Guess not.

some re-use soil but prefer to use new soil each time, because of the "salt" build-up during grow cycles - soil can be expensive

I’m going to go 1/2 old and 1/2 new. After I will use elsewhere outdoors. Tomato pots
for her grape & cherry tomato-ettes. Thanks for all the ideas n tips.
