Day 50 - Trichome close-ups | Super Silver Haze | Super Hash Plant | Northern Lights |

Just rolled past day 50. Plant pistils on many of the indica plants have changed from bleach white to red and curled. Trichomes are being monitored daily for consistency changes.

Two ways to tell when the plants are ready for harvest.

Pistil colors:

<50% darkened pistils the plant is not ripe and the harvested flowers will possess lower amounts of THC.

Many experts will say that THC concentrations have peaked when 60% - 70% of the plant pistils have darkened.

>70% darkened pistils the CBD concentration will start to climb and the high will be more couch-lock in effect.

Trichomes:

When the plant is not ripe the resin will be clear like glass. As the plant ripens the trichomes will become cloudy and then transition to amber color.

Clear Trichomes = unripe flowers, that are still building in THC concentrations

Cloudy Trichomes = highest levels of THC

Amber Trichomes = waited too long to harvest

Using both of these methods in combination is the best way to gauge when your crop is ready to be harvested.
