ALL my plants stay green and healthy till the end, but then again, I don't use just water the last 2 weeks. I feed my plants just what they need to be healthy, no more,no less. But that's just me.
Cloudy or clear?

Thanks man, I've learned quite a few things from this. I really appriciate it!I haven't grown every strain but the ones I have grown , the leaves WILL color change on their own as it approaches it's final stages. I made the mistake as a new grower before thinking it was deficient. Once I noticed that the plants continually did this , I used as a marker to judge triches ( looking at whether they are getting close ) . Some of my PURPLE POWER made really crazy colors on the leaf but that is from its genetics.
Some can finish at 63 or 73 days. You can push plant a little bit longer from recommended breeder time but it's life stage is set in stone. Sometimes if you look at breeder suggestions on that particular strain ( it usually gives a window of 5-7 days anyways ) so I shoot for the last day + 2. Those last 2 days are done full darkness so I can chop (anytime during their dark period )
Lowering the humidity in the room on that last night before harvest morning will ensure increased resin production, without having to let the medium go bone-dry first. Additionally, some growers like to subject their gardens to prolonged dark periods of up to 24 hours to 48 hours just before cutting, claiming they notice spikes in resin production. This is all right as the low humidity will cut down on light uptake anyway, plus it helps to make sure liquid foods within the plants drain down to the root zone.
When the big day arrives it is best to start early, BEFORE the light period begins in the growroom. This is why I keep in dark so I can pull them anytime during day. If the grow lamps turn on, it’s okay to cut them completely and work by standard room lighting.
Enjoy
