6.5 weeks into Flower, Amber trichs 5%, First Grow, Advice pls!

Last post. Week 6 Flower Begins Monday. First Grow! Very Exciting! Pics! Feedback? - #2 by mobius981

For no good reason I looked at the trichs on both plants and about 5% Amber already.n Trichsare practically dripping. I pulled two tiny sugar leaves and smoked. got me a little bit high. WTF? Suggestions? Advice?

Post a pic or 3. Sugar leaves are irrelevant, for smoking or figuring maturity. Is she auto or photo?

Thanks @Audiofreak . She is indica hybrid photo, borderliner is one girl, northern lights another. I wish I could take pic of trichs. Suffice one of a bud on each plant is best I can do.

What Audiofreak said is accurate. Even though we call that a bud, what you have there is all leaves and pistils. As they get bigger the actual flower blossoms or buds will plump up and show themselves. You have a ways to go yet. Trichs on those leaves amber up all during the grow.

@Spiney_norman that is awesome to tell me, much better than the internet blogs, dang it all anyway. I am hearing you tell me, more or less, don’t get ahead of your skis and wait til week eight or thereabouts. I hear you saying lots of plump out needed and take care of them and leave them alone lol! Which I am entirely willing to do.

gorgeous. that pic helps A LOT!

You got it exactly right.
Watch from 8 weeks on…All the white pistils will darken to brown and curl up.
Then look at the trichs on the flowers.

I count flower when she is putting out hairs and building “buttons” usually for me about 8/10days after light change. It can vary though.

right. so you know (for my own ease in counting) I am counting from flip. Your girl is very beautiful already! looks a bit further than mine, altho there ARE amber pistils and curling in, I think you are further along.

Different strains. And if you figure "transition " time after flipping you about 2.5 weeks ahead of me. But you have a flatter canopy than i.

Transitioned for two weeks before flip. then a little tucking for next two weeks. then hands off and no more touching. Total eight weeks of veg (from birthdays) before flip.
