the top must have looked really good. I usu wait for the top, last...best bud of the bunch...!!! Looks really good. I thought mine was done a week ago...NOT...the trichs were cloudy and clear...no amber. I'm waiting for a 20-30% amber ratio before I start chopping her down.
the purple is an indication that it suffered a frost or two. The cold weather can slow the process down...I say you still have some time left...couple weeks min. But what do I know???
By the way...if I let her go till Nov 5th...it will be 6 months in the gound to this point, starting from a seed...seems like a long time. In the ground May 5th, Cinco De Mayo... At least it smells really good.
I was really worried about mold b/c some of those days have rain involved...I feel better now b/c I did some reading and see that mold likes slightly warmer weather between 70-80 degs and wet...however my days are 50 degs and slightly wet. I just go and visit her and give her a shake every so...
You would be better off to start from scratch then to try and re-veg a plant that has already flowered. I think it's possible but takes a REALLY long time.
