hey all im growing a akr and i just received my 60x-100x magnifiyer and took a look at the trichs and im really confused as they are at all sorts of stages (what i mean is i have trichs that havent developed much at all, triches that dont have the mushroom tops, trichs that are cloudy, triches that are amber. it seems like there are even amounts of all) and dont have a clue what to do :( should i start a flush or what?

thanks

If you have half amber and half cloudy, IMO I would start the cleansing period (freshwater for atleast 10 days) and then cut her downHop digity. Depending on the med effect you are looking for. If you want more of a uppity high, then more cloudy and less amber is the way to go. If you want the knock out, couch lock, time for bed, type smoke, then ambered up is what you want my friend.

what i mean is i have trichs at all stages of development (some that are just little balls,some that dont have the round heads,some that are clear,some that are cloudy, some that are amber) so i really dont know what to do :/
 
i just took another look at all diffrent parts of the buds and there seems to be alot of amber trichs so im going to flush for 3 days then put in darkness for 1-2 days then harvest and as im using biobizz i been reading that flushing wont need to take so long as there organic :)

If you have been using chemical nutes then you need 10 days cleansing for that smooth smoke :peace: Si
 
You know, people have all different kinds of opinions on when to harvest, and although there is a general consensus that the trichromes are a much better indicator than pistils, there are a huge variety of opinions about what percentage of the trichs should be what color for optimal ripeness. Partly this is due to the fact that everyone has their own preference when is comes to the different qualities different color trichromes bring to the stoniness of the herb, mostly clear and cloudy, you'll have more of an "up" high, mostly amber, it will possess more of a "couch lock" stone. I really think though, far more than the aspects of the high, what drives many to let their trichs go 60%-75% amber, is that they want to pack as much weight on the buds as possible, and while that's perfectly understandable, I personally like an up high, so I won't let my trichs get more than 50% amber, and will try to keep it around a third amber. a third cloudy and a third clear. Since you have trichs at all stages of development (a very common thing, clear up to finish time, and especially on autos from what I hear) and about half seem amber, it passes the scope test. I would say if it looks like the buds have filled out nicely, definitely flush time, you'll get a few more amber trichs in the week it'll take to flush, so even if you want more than half amber, you should be good to go. If you have a camera, pics would be helpful, even if your camera won't show the trichs, it should show the fattening of the calyxes and the ripening stage of the buds. But from what you're saying, I would put harvest on your calendar a week from today! stylez rasta smoke

Haven't gone through the thread, but just saw this and wanted to reply :P

Organic or not, liquid fertilizers are full of chemicals. So it doesn't really matter if they chemicals came from organic or inorganic sources, you'll want to cleanse the plant for some time before harvest.

I disergree thats why we have organic and chemical nutes totaly differant nutes altogether. there has never been any harsh or crappy taste to my buds if anything taste is smoother:2cents:
Everyone has their own opinions and are always welcome but being part of the AFN Team i would strongly advice that if your in organic you do not have to cleanse as you would with chem nutes, But feed just plain water the last 7 days as it helps them finesh up :peace: Si
