Help is it time to flush?

[Tones]

Hello need some good eyes this one looks like its nearky there tried the jewellers loop not very good have taken a pic nearly 10 weeks shall i start to flush or chop?

Good eyes won't help if you can't see the trichomes close up. I recommend putting the loupe up to your eye, and lowering your eye close to the bud you want to see. Your plant looks lovely.

Maybe this will help you:

Thanks alltatup with your experience what u rekon?

[alltatup]

You say they're 10 weeks in flower? What percentage of the pistils have darkened and turned inwards?

[Tones]

They are 10 weeks from seed dropped in soil i would say about 60%

[alltatup]

Autos?

[Tones]

Yep auto sensi cheese strain

[alltatup]

Tones, So we know it is in the window for harvest but without a closeup of the triches I cant say.

Gotta see them triches up close.

I cant tell from those pics. Also make sure you are looking at the trichomes on the buds. I looked really hard and just cant really see the trichomes good enough. I would probably go ahead and just use water and molasses from here on out. So yes I would start flushing. Even if it has 2 weeks left it will be fine.

Thanks redwasp

You should be looking at the calyxes with the loupe not the sugar leaves. You can try putting the loupe up to the lens of the camera and lower it on the bud you're looking at for a good close up. I used my phone for these. Looks like you're close but using the loupe will give you a definitive answer.

Thanks chefbjy

You're welcome. Thank you for the thank you 😉. A lot of people forget to be polite 😆.

Trying to get close ups of the tricomes

Tape your magnifier, to your camera,

Tones, Yeah, dude, that helped out alot, nice pictures.
She still has a way to go, 2-3weeks anyhow, imo.
If she was mine, from now till harvest, I wouldn't give her anything but unsulfered molasses and water. Then you want even have to flush. unLess you want too.
Nice job with your plant, by the way.
I worked offshore all my life mostly, doing Geology work, looking at rock formations, and I got a nice microscope from the job, it really tells you the trichome story.
Check around on Craig's list or similar, and I bet that you could find a nice microscope, that's 100times better than a loupe. For a decent price.
GoodLuck and HappyGrowing! !!!

Right daas69 i am going to try that now can u zoom into the pics see if u can see anything please?

[D.A.A.S.69]

Tones, yeah, real nice pictures, still a little early, 2-3more weeks,
Like Redwasp said, you will always see amber on the little sugar leaves first, before you do on the calyxes. Usually takes 2-3weeks after seeing amber on the sugar leaves until they show up on calyxes .
You are doing nicely. You don't have long to wait, an it will sure be worth the weight, smoking some of your on homegrown killer that you grew.!!

[Redwasp]

You need to look at the trichomes on the bud itself not sugar leaves. However that being said I zoomed in and even on the leaves I didnt see any amber. I could tell really if they are cloudy or clear. But if no amber on leaves I'm almost certain there will be none on the buds.

Il shall report back in a few days will hold fire
