Thanks for posting these photos, yoann, I'm still kind of a newby and not entirely confident about when's a good time to harvest. I got some Ace Kali-China's that look almost exactly like these, the trichomes, the pistils. I don't want an overly CBD laden harvest. Dubi said he'd make a recommendation if I posted close ups of the buds, and I did, but he hasn't logged on for a few days, so your post here seems like a pretty good yardstick.Hey there
Here some details of the earliest zenith in my batch, I just flushed her after trichome's examination. The stretch of this specimen was a little bit more than 200%, I have one other like this that don't smell same and isn't as early as this one. Dominant smell is citrus candy, that's the only of my plants that smell lemon candy like this so clearly. Trichomes covered flowers, very sticky. I believe I'm gonna cut her in 10 days, so it's a 8,5 weeks flowering specimen.
Hello Herbert, tbh I believe you need a microscope to judge when to harvest, or at least those sort of jeweler's loupe, because it's when they start to be milky instead translucid that it start to become the right time. Indoor, when all trichomes have switch from translucid to milky I flush the roots and I make a single rehydrating with ph adjusted water (no nutrients). Some use water adjusted with lemon or lime juice or flushing solutions that contain citric acid too. Then I let it dry and ripe for 10 days to 2 weeks and I cut, depending the ratio of trichomes that become brown caramel. When it's cut, and that's my personal choice, I don't trim too much, I let many of sugar leaves, I dispose the buds on a net tray in a dry and dark room for 2 weeks. After that I dispose in jars for 3 weeks, controling humidity (BOVEDA humidity packs are a great help for this), and when curing is done I store it in small hermetic bags in the fridge. Not a rocket science, and there are many different ways to do
Thanks for tips yoann, but maybe I have microscopes in my eyes, maybe those glasses I'm wearing in my avatar are microscopes, but I think I can see the trichomes. I'm surprised to hear we need microscopes. I think I can see the trichomes right there in your photos actually. Or correct me if I'm wrong, maybe what i think are trichomes are not trichomes. But, I saw bigfoot once and flying saucers a few times though, so maybe this is another case of my seeing things that are not there or mistaking one thing for another a rope for a snake, a dog for bigfoot or swamp gas for a flying saucer. Too much pot perhaps.Hello Herbert, tbh I believe you need a microscope to judge when to harvest, or at least those sort of jeweler's loupe, because it's when they start to be milky instead translucid that it start to become the right time.

sure everyone see the crystal snow but in my opinion you get better details at least with X40 magnifying. The ratios of translucid ones that have turned milky or cloudy, and when they start to get caramel, it's very subtile. At least I need such tools to see what's happening, I know others may have better sight, but for me it is as it is....
Crystal snow, eh? I think you are imagining things too Yoann, heheh.
And a very happy New Year!, by the looks of it.Merry Xmass everyone
That should be with a 730nm light source as an initiator. Not sure exactly how it works as it is not fresh in memory.
The emerson effect is acheived with a combination of red and far red in the spectrum. But as a flower initiator the far red would be on a separate timer that activates just before lights out and remains on for sometime thereafter. You could then shorten the dark hours.Emerson effect - Wikipedia

she indeed looks like the early pheno with such short height and fast flowering. Taking a look at your 17th Deceber post, the plant looked overfeed with Nitrogen and asking for more light intensity, but i know room is tight.
