Second Harvest. Had to return here for advice.
Johanna (whom I looove) says “it’s the pistils, man.”
Other growers say it’s the trichomes.
So I have 2 plants, autoflower OG Kush, all in different stages, and I need to know your opinions.
The first, pistils all turned, but trichome cloudiness is a tougher call? I simply can’t see them well enough, even with my jeweler’s loupe.
The reason I ask, some sources really are all about the trichomes - the pistils are just a heads-up to start watching. I’m waiting for obvious signs of adequate cloudiness, by waiting for a few amber trichomes.
I’m just afraid I could be missing something and let them go too far.
It is definitely the trichs. As you mentioned once the pistils turn and recede, that is the indicator to break out the scope. Here is a chart to assist in when it is the best time for what you want.
Took a look with the scope. Posting it so some of you can see the quality. The problem is, you have to get right up on the buds to get an image, and then it’s hard to stabilize.
Anyway, here’s an image I managed to get, they’re not ready, as you can see.
smoke!
