BB,
The natural progression of Trics is: clear, cloudy, and then amber. If you are seeing 50% amber the other 50% is cloudy. Time to harvest.

Re: Roseman's Determining Harvest Time
If half of them are amber, (and I only go by the top 1/3 of the plant) then it is time now! But 50 days ....depends on how yu count flowering time. If they ahve been in 12/12 56 days, 8 weeks, it is near time. And be sure the calyxes are swollen......and there are very few white hairs (pistals)

Re: Roseman's Determining Harvest Time
Nice thread Rosey ! I bought one of those radio shack scopes , they are a bitch to focus!! But when you do it is really neat !! Hydronewbie I did the same thing and I still try to read my plant with that even though I know it's near impossible . I don't want to cut any of my buds yet .So are the trichs going to be the same from the leaves to the white hairs, to the calyxes ? I've still got tons of white hairs and I'm hoping for even more weight ! I'm learning patience thats for sure ....

Re: Roseman's Determining Harvest Time
A plant is RIPE for harvesting when the pistals are less than 10% white.

Re: Roseman's Determining Harvest Time
When these are on my pc I can zoom way in and get a clear view of them. Much better than trying to focus my camera that close up.

Re: Roseman's Determining Harvest Time
ol hippy,
I bet those are some sticky buds! The pistals are changing yet, are they? Are they ALL still very white?

Re: Roseman's Determining Harvest Time
Yeah very few are getting any brown on them ,and after zooming in on my pics I could see mostly clear trichs..Looks like I have more waiting to do.Man I really want this grow to be over so I can clean up and paint that area and move my others in to veg .Than it looks like I'm going to be doing a Roseman grow -I moved all my stuff out of my bedroom closet and am going to hang my hps in there and make it my flowering room. At least till I get my tent going ..Take care buddy !!

Re: Roseman's Determining Harvest Time
it seems like the trichs on my sugar leaves turn amber faster than the buds so i like to actually check the buds and from different parts and heights of the plant to get a more accurate harvest time. also alot say w/ those small 60-100x microscopes you need to press up against the bud to see, that is not true, just need to practice. you can actually hold it about .250" away and still focus it right.
the best way for me to check trichs was with my canon powershot sd750, good camera, put it in macro and zoom in on individual trichs if u want... too bad its broke and i cant find another one anywhere
i cant even find a digi cam to replace it that i like as much as i did that one.
i miss my camera heres a trich shot i took w/ it

That's a really nice shot rc51sport! Have you thought about getting the camera repaired if possible? I should experiment with mine a bit more and see what I can really do with it.

Re: Roseman's Determining Harvest Time
Great post about trichomes. Just today I showed off my microscope on another thread to someone as a suggestion to obtain from Radioshack as a way to not harvest too early. Its one of those things thats better late than early.
Although at first I didn't like it, once I got used to holding it up to my eye I couldn't stop using on everything lol
