The plant that is in the 3rd pic was covered in red hairs....and then got a whole new coat of white hairs.
I would feed her right up to chop if you are in soil. A lot of folks still run straight water or do a hard flush, but I don't believe in Santa Claus, I believe in science.
I have the jewelers loop. I just keep stressing that I am going to let the go too long or that I will feed nutes too late.
Not even close? Like a month you think? What are some other signs it is getting closer?
Stigmas will start turning orange, usually, it will also probably, not always, stop putting out new stigma ("white hairs") on top of the colas, you might see some foxtailing, but the trichomes are the best way to get a feel for what "ready" looks like. Every strain is a bit different, too, and there's personal preferences as to how late or early, of course. She's at least two and maybe as many as four or five weeks out before real maturity. You will get a feel for it pretty quick, it just takes a few runs to calibrate the ocular sensors.
Bamboo stakes and twist ties work well to keep them from flopping over. Top early next time, you can get eight times as many colas by topping twice and doing a bit of training. Cheers!
You can't feed nutes too long. Stop feeding when you cut them down
