Appreciate it jetsgrower, hoping to upgrade a lot for my next grow

Best I could get with my shaky hands going to try and attach the loupe to my phone next time. Highlights some of the purple coming through though

That's the lighting!

Looking great. Hopefully I can have the same success on my 1st as well.

Haha yea I should have specified, in the first picture it's just the tip of the calyx i think?

Rooting for you, I'll have a look at your journal as well

Looking great @barillaro The trichomes seem mostly clear so you’ve still got some time for them to fatten up

 

[barillaro]

Plants came out ok for being away for a few days but next to put a vent hole for air if I ever use a water bottle again

Humidity was good, at 45-59% while gone. Temps from 75-88
Flash threw off the colors a bit. There is more pink/purplish in person

Trichomes are still like 90% clear and maybe 5% Amber. Couple of cloudy

@irie lion by the way, congrats on the nug of the month that red poison looked killer

They survived well in your absence! Oh, when checking trichomes for ripeness, skip the leaves and check the calyxes. The leaves always ripen first but the buds tell the harvest time.

Plants are looking great @barillaro! Thank you so much for the kind words, i am honored!

Got it,I'll do a quick check over once home. Getting excited hoping I don't botch it at the drying/cure stage

 

[barillaro]

Apologies for any bad pictures, having a hard time focusing on the trichomes

How does she look for harvesting? Close ratio of clear to cloudy, but some sites have a lot of Amber already

Lots of Amber here

Cola growth was great these last few days

 

[irie lion]

Nice Barillo, are there ambers on all the flowers?
Buds looking fat!

Thanks irie, looks like it's going to be a good harvest! All of them have at least some Amber besides a few smaller buds. I'm off Friday so Ill check again tonight. Do you think tomorrow is too early to chop? It looks like she's still pushing a few pistils too..

 

[InTheShed]

I'd say tomorrow is too early unless you're dead set against amber. There's enough clear in there to make me want to wait. The colas look great!
