That's what i thought. I have the microscope so i'll just keep a close eye on her.
I usually harvest when all the white hairs turn brown tan are whatever to me that’s when I decide to harvest
Done. you are gonna gave couch lock
That's cool but sometimes the trichomes are still clear and not many cloudy and no amber, which makes for a quick but short high.
Done is right this plant has bud rot so it's going in the garbage LoL. That was the very last bud and it also has rot. I just wanted to mess with my microscope and see how amber these trichomes were.
It's not uncommon for some strains like Granddaddy Purple to take longer than expected to develop amber trichomes, especially if the growing conditions vary. If the trichomes are still clear or milky and you're not seeing amber yet, it's a sign that the plant might need more time to fully mature. Keep an eye on the trichomes daily and maintain your plant’s environment, but don't worry too much if it goes beyond the typical timeframe. Patience is key, and it will be worth the wait!
It sounds like you're doing everything right by monitoring the trichomes with a jeweler's loupe. Granddaddy Purple can indeed take longer than the typical 56-63 days, especially if conditions like light and nutrients aren't optimal. If you see mostly milky trichomes with no amber yet, it’s a sign to keep waiting, but make sure to check for any signs of plant stress. As long as the buds look healthy, patience can pay off for a better yield!
