Thanks mountainman, and yep, im on it I’m loving the growing, im finding it very therapeutic, can’t wait to get me next ones going

Yeah hazmat, tried it, if you can imagine chewing on some wet burnt hay, then that’s what it tasted like I’m just kidding, I think it’s cos I didn’t know what I was really doing and I tried a very small bud, just tasted twiggy I guess, but yeah the other bit tasted really nice, kind of sweet and fruity, but not too strong if you get me, really nice

Lol I almost joked about you eating it you know.....since it's decarbed lol like a fresh edible.

But I'll take a pic and everything next time I do a tester....should be a day or two as I just harvested earlier this week.....so I'll be wanting a tester .

Damn, I didn’t even think of eating it And yes hazmat, I may get it right with picture instructions I’m just kidding, it would be very helpful with the pics, thank you and you harvested, great, nearly there, the reward of the grow is soooo good in it

Hi people, update with my trichomes, iv got some pictures, on some of them if you zoom in you can make out the ambers, especially on the leaf one, think she’s about ready and @Mountainman80 Thinks there about right, just wanted to confirm, and thank yous for the help

excellent trichome production! it's hard to tell at this magnification level and lighting (purple), but any amber you are seeing on the sugar leaves doesn't appear to also be showing on the buds. focus more on the calyxes in the buds. at this magnification, bud trichomes are looking clear and milky – that's about all I can say.

I use a Carson MicroBrite Plus mini hand-held microscope, $15... you'll get a nice detailed view of the trichomes.

Thanks cbdhemp, I have one of those Carson microbrites, I got one when you mentioned it, can’t get pics with it thou can ya, these are the best I could get There’s definitely amber over them, some buds have a lot more than others, what I’m worried about is going too far with it, iv read that the thc starts deteriorating if left too long in flower, and these are the part of the flower you say to keep an eye on yeah ? And thanks for your help

Iv just read something and now I’m confused, yeah I know, that’s not hard to do is it I’m just kidding lol, right, let’s say 50% of the trichomes amber. Does that mean that half of the amount are amber and half are clear or cloudy, or does it mean that each individual Trichome is 50% amber, meaning they all go amber but you get them before they go too amber, I know it might sound dumb but yeah, I think I am

 

[cbdhemp808]

I would rely on the Carson to give you a good idea of the trichomes... clear, milky, amber.

Yes.

Trichomes start out clear, then the clear fades into milky and becomes solid milky. You will see some that are clear, some that are turning milky, and some that are completely milky – all at once. Sprinkled among them will be some that are amber. Eventually more and more become amber.

Whenever I see an amber trichome, it is completely amber (not part milky).

Thank you cbdhemp, I’m with it now, I read something that completely through me, and yeah I will be checking at lights in today to see where I am, thank you again for your help, very much appreciated

hi cbdhemp, I checked with the Carson today, all different buds, I see a fair amount of amber, tried to get some pics with the wi-fi digital microscope, thought they was decent but when I looked they wasn’t as good as what I thought Very delicate sod she is, slight little breeze and it’s all over the place, I will show ya anyway to see what you think, and iv put box’s round the buds i took pics of, they was the only ones I could try get

I just harvested a CBG plant and I saw what looked like clear turning into amber! Photos here.

I would typically harvest at this point or even earlier – you have lots of amber on most of those shots. Some other folks would wait for more amber. In my situation I get a lot of mold and need to anticipate bud rot, so I often harvest early.
