Trichomes... too early?

[Sc0tt]

Just looking for opinions from some more experienced growers on timing my harvest. I'll post a fee pics of my trichomes. Are these ready or should I wait another week or 2? Thanks

What strain is it ?
auto or photo ?
my opinion, definitely wait! You have some weeks to go before harvest

 

[Farmbuck]

Indica or sativa ? Like CaptainWiese91 I would wait also..!!

It's an India dominant, photo. I think I'll wait and keep an eye on them and start to flush in a week ar so. Thanks

*indica dominant (auto correct)

Wait a 1-2 weeks. I know its hard not to cut the lovely tree 😅. But patience 🙏🏻

Here are a couple thoughts.
Clear and cloudy trichomes produce the energetic high. Getting more into the amber, you get the couch lock. So, if an indica strain, wouldn't it be better to wait for more amber in the trichomes? If sativa, clear and milky?

I know I still have some time before harvest. I am aiming for about 10 to 20 % amber. Just dont know how fast they go from milky to amber. I want to make sure I have enough time for a good flush before I take her down.

Hey ScOtt, that little flip between cloudy to amber seems to take forever..lol. I have found that its usually 2-3 weeks after the suggested harvest time. OR sometimes longer than that. Another thing, check the trichs in the bud, and not the tiny sugar leaves. They seem to darken earlier. Good luck..hang in there..you'll be happy you waited.

Just read a really cool article in here from vostok (another member)
You don’t need a flush actually 🙏🏻

 

[Sc0tt]

I definitely want a flush. I've smoked unflushed stuff before. Dont care for the taste of nutes

 

[Sc0tt]

Good to know. Thanks

 

[CaptainWiese91]

There is not more nutes in the flowers, just because they are unflushed. It’s the cure process that is making the difference
Actually a good article👍🏻
