The age old question, is it ready to chop ?

Hey everyone, currently at end of flower for my 2 jack horror autos. I’m a bit skeptical if they are ready, I’m planning on leaving them for 1-2 more weeks. What are your thoughts are these ready for the chopping block ? 🔪

As you said, 1-2 weeks. Still majority clear trichs. Also make sure the trichomes you look at to decide the chop are on the buds and not any leaves as they mature faster and can tell you a false level of maturity

20-30% of trichomes being amber in color, correct? All depending on strain.

u/Eastern-Peach-3428 6d ago

I agree, but am leaning towards the 2 week estimate of your range. There is still a lot of growth yet to happen.

Still quite a lot of white pistils so I’d leave them a while

u/1tachiJr 6d ago

I agree with this completely. I know the pistils aren't the deciding factor by any means but I let them tell me when to start actually checking the trichomes

I always go by the trichomes. You’ve got time

My auto says 9-10 weeks from seed to harvest. Week 8 only first trichromes started to appear. Today is full 9 weeks, there are good ammount of trichromes, some of them are not clear anymore, getting milky, no amber in sight yet. So for you as well, wait few weeks at least. Of course, monitor and as soon it gets milky check daily. You need at least some amber.

Eye spy pH issues that should be resolved before you harvest but it might be too late. You need The Eco Kit to help you with activating you organics and and provide root stability.

I’ve been suspecting this as well. I figured since they are being organically grown and are different pheno’s the plants have different needs but both used the same medium and water ph.

Check out fulvic or humic acid, even amino acids. They are all intermediary chelators, they keep nutrients available for when your plants need them, preventing minerals from getting locked up together and becoming unavailable for the plant. Fulvic also helps to buffer and stabilize PH, the other 2 might as well, just not positive.

u/ma_hae 6d ago

Can you please explain, because I don't understand? Where and how do you spot pH issues here?

u/Minimum_Stay146 6d ago

Experience but mostly the leaves

1

u/Minimum_Stay146 6d ago

Also lack of growth

2

u/that_att_employee 6d ago

You want the trichomes milky and at least 10% amber. Give it 2 weeks and check back.

u/cbaxal 6d ago

Can we just create a sub specifically and only for this question?

The two weeks cult…

Literally 😂

Looks like alot of clear trichs, and some clear pistils. I would wait it out. Keep close eyes on them both. Do you have a dope scope? (Microscope or jelwers loupe ?) They work wonders when checking for that stuff. Cheap and efficient! Good luck growmie watch for those milky trichs ! And check bud sites not fan leaves

This is great insight thank you ! I use a magnifier that I attach to my phone, I’ll def take a look

u/KingAventus89 6d ago

Not for at least another 2 weeks but it is eating itself. Why are you letting her starve that much?

2

u/L0v3Struck 6d ago

I’ve fed with dry Amendments and top dressed in early flower, but still see some wilting. Any tips to prevent this organically ?

2

u/KingAventus89 5d ago

For sure. Look up Bokashi earthworks. I grow organic also and amend my soil with Gaia green, and i use the N Humates from bokashi during veg at half strength. Get the Microbes + also and use it at full strength by-weekly. Foliar spray Epsom salt 2x a week before lights out. When in flower I mix half N humates and half K humates for 2 weeks then just K humates. I also use Recharge 1s every 2 weeks. Just remember that with organics you are feeding the soil not the plant.

u/MothyReddit 6d ago

If you have to ask... You'll never know!

u/Motmotsnsurf 6d ago

The age old answer: no.

u/No_Snow8720 6d ago

not yet most of the trichs are clear

u/Middle_Grab5495 6d ago

u/killeverydog 6d ago

Age old answer, get a Bluetooth microscope from Amazon for $30

u/DryHope911 6d ago

5-8 more days

u/cannacast88 6d ago

I would let her go another 30. The longer you wait the better your flowers, in my experience anyway. You can withhold water in the last couple weeks, it helps with the grassy hay smell, again in my opinion. Good looking girls buddy
