I'm finishing up two very nice looking female plants. Today is day 122 of the oldest and day 108 of the younger, which is a clone from the older one. They both have nice looking trichomes, lots of them, although I've seen frostier buds in my time. Last week I trimmed off some smaller buds and after drying for 7 days I gave it a try. Not bad, but it's far from the intense high I'm looking for. I'm really trying for the "couch lock" high this time. The trichomes are mostly milky now, and there are still plenty of clear ones. I'm seeking that first couple of amber colored ones to know it's time. But just like last time, and the time before that, it seems like the amber color never shows up. I have patience and will wait whatever time it takes this grow. So I was wondering what others report as for how long it takes to get some amber color to show up in the trichomes?
BTW, this is day 80 of the oldest ones 12/12 cycle. They are inside under fluros and I used the FF regime, very lightly only increasing the P in the last month or so with the Open Sesame and Cha-Ching. And I can see that tell-tale burnt leaf tip affect, just minimal so I know they've had their fill with the nutes. The water has always been ph'ed to 6.5(+/-) and earlier this week I started them on clear water to flush the pots considering that I should be in the last 2-3 weeks with them now. But by now I was expecting to see at least a couple of amber colored trichomes.
