So, since this is my first grow, I have no experience with how quickly some of the transitions take, particularly concerning the trichomes color change from clear to white, and then to amber. I believe I want to harvest when the trichomes are turning white and cloudy to emphasize a more cerebral high. My understanding is that is it generally advised to start flushing with pH'd water (without nutrients) around one week before harvesting.
Currently, the trichomes are clear, but I have no idea how long it will take until they start turning white. It could be tomorrow; it could be in a week, or two??? This creates the problem that since the timing of flushing is dependent on that unknown time in the future, I'm not sure when a week before that date will occur. I don't want to flush too late, as that will push the harvest out later too. I've read many threads on the whys, hows and whens of flushing, but none of them have made it clear to me how I can determine when a week before the trichomes will turn white will occur.
Can anyone help?
