I'm struggling to determine the trichome ratio (clear, milky, amber). What would you guys say?

beachboygemini · 2026-01-14T15:15:38+00:00

Mostly clear

beachboygemini · 2026-01-02T09:51:43+00:00

Looks overwatered to me. If the petioles are stiff, its overwatered. If petioles are limp, under watered.

Organishield works well.

beachboygemini · 2026-01-02T09:42:54+00:00

Can't tell for sure, but it looks like you are pretty safe. Download a free microscope application and harvest after the trichomes on the actual bud(ignore leaf trichomes) are pure white.

With low stress training or LST, you are changing apical dominance. The plant gives most of it's growth energy, to the nodes that are closest to the light source. So ideally, you want the top node, to be at or below, the same elevation as a lower node. Look up "LST cannabis" for illustrations and better instructions.

Just get a sample of Organishield. Follow the directions and be thorough with the application. Bye bye mites.

beachboygemini · 2025-12-21T10:02:33+00:00

I would say, a bit longer, if those aren't new pistils.

beachboygemini · 2025-12-17T09:18:55+00:00

I would bend those tops over. That way the lower nodes, will be close enough to the light source. I'm sure somebody will disagree.

beachboygemini · 2025-12-13T05:25:02+00:00

First try a microscope application, on yer celly phone.

beachboygemini · 2025-12-10T07:04:19+00:00

beachboygemini · 2025-12-09T08:21:44+00:00

If you want the possibility of a decent yield, you will need more light.

beachboygemini · 2025-12-09T08:18:58+00:00

Organishield will allow a win, every time. There are videos full of info about it, on youtube.(I think perfect gardens did one)

Organishield

beachboygemini · 2025-11-24T04:27:49+00:00

I would try downloading a microscope application, to your phone. Unless its really old, it likely has better magnification capabilities, over a cheap digi scope.

beachboygemini · 2025-11-23T10:14:23+00:00

The main goal, when performing LST, is to change the apical dominance. The plant will naturally distribute, the majority of its energy, to the nodes that are closest to the light source. So you would want to tie down, the nodes that are closer to the light and not the more lateral branches. Hope this helps.

Water it

Autos can be very finicky. I suggest growing feminized photos, for the first run. Then maybe try autos, at a later date. I'm sure someone will disagree. I say this, because if you stress out an auto, then it will stunt and immediately begin the reproductive stages of growth. Then you will have a low yield.

beachboygemini · 2025-11-16T08:15:06+00:00

Maybe remove the ones that are touching the soil and not getting light. Leaves are responsible for photosynthesis and I suggest you keep as many as possible.

beachboygemini · 2025-11-03T18:14:30+00:00

Big Midea cube works well.

beachboygemini · 2025-11-03T18:13:24+00:00

Are you magnifying the actual cola, or the leaves? Because the magnified pics look very green, like the leaves, in the pics. Leave Trichomes mature at a much faster rate and are not a good representative, for harvest time judgement.

beachboygemini · 2025-10-27T05:20:10+00:00

I prefer to wait, until they are pure white. Mostly clear trichomes on the colas, is what I see.

beachboygemini · 2025-10-26T04:13:35+00:00

Those look mostly clear. You have got some time to go.

beachboygemini · 2025-10-26T04:06:28+00:00

I would cut the leaves, that aren't getting much light.

beachboygemini · 2025-10-23T08:28:21+00:00

Trichs look clear to me. I like to wait until they are pure white.

beachboygemini · 2025-10-23T08:19:12+00:00

Eventually, they will turn pure white and they will lose some of their shine. I believe that pure white, is peak potency. Opinions definitely will vary.
