Update on my girls: I'm 55 days from flip and 40 days from pistils. Stopped feeding a week ago just straight water now every 5-6 days down from every three days two weeks ago. There drinking sloww which is a good thing. 90% cloudy 6% amber and 3% translucent not clear. Would you guys chop or give her another week or so? Thanks all for you insight

Give them time. Forget about all the stuff you've been told about amber percentage. Most sources don't explain where the 10% amber is supposed to be. Tippy top is suggested by most but there's more to it then that.

I'm currently on day 61 with mine. The trics have become swirling. Not many straight ones. Not much amber except on the sugar leaves. The body of the flowers are still going milky.

By the look of the pisils. They would have cut by now.

Do what the breeder says. The flowering time they say. Follow it. Mine says 65-68 days. These plants can be harvested after day 54.

Don't give the amber percentage much thought because the figure of 10% is difficult to determine as its described on the interweb. See what they'll do going the full flowering time.

Thanks for the reply guys. I was thinking about feeding thanks. i was scheduled 2 days ago anyway. As for the trichomes I have very little clear at least looking through my scope. Seeds were from a cloned hermie. So I'm winging the harvest window. I'll feed tomorrow and maybe give em another two weeks or so.

My opinion is they’re not done. I’d say a couple weeks. If they were mine I would feed lightly once more then go to straight water until done.

Hey man, I agree with everyone above. You got some weeks to go and weight to gain yet. Those stretching out white pistils are a sign of growth. Forget the breeders estimates, they are very rarely accurate. I am about to take down 3 plants that got flipped Dec 1 so they are on week 13 since flip. Very easy to chop early, very difficult to chop too late. Good luck. They look great.

Alright this basically explains nothing. Please describe every detail of your set up include genetics, tent size, light schedule, day highs, night lows, relative humidity , type of light, distance from plant. Those are gonna dry up to nothing. You also flowered it before you hit maturity. You'll be lucky to get a good count. Try starting some new genetics get a clone and just grow one through a net. Keep training it and don't rush the vegetative process.

I would have kept feeding as you are at the point when buds really put on weight

Their is no amber on those buds mostly clear

Yeah I agree with you. To the grower,vYou have so much green on there I'd let them grow for another 2 or even 3 weeks. I know I'm gonna go thru it to but I'm pretty sure the wait is worth it

Update: Day 62 of flip and 48 from pistils. So I did continue the feed as you guys suggested. But I think no more food. Im going to try for another week or two then chop. Under my scope all cloudy trichs with a few amber scattered here and there. No clear heads.They tightened up but did not put on much bulk since last post. Pics might not show it but calyxes are swelling and pistils are majority brown. Happy tokin.

Your leaves are pretty dark green. I don’t think you will hurt it by doing water only. Don’t add tons of water but water normally when it’s ready with plain water. IMO

Thanks Wattzzup so how about harvest time you think maybe a week or two? It seems more sativa dom. And im looking for heady but slight body highs.

It’s hard to say. Not sure what your light source is but it seems to of needed more light. I would let most of the white hairs turn brown.

See the swelling around the hairs that are receding? That’s what you want on all of your buds for max gainz

Yes but what I failed to mention is that my light source is really only for one plant. But I'm growing two this time under the same set up. I know I know. I thought I could get away with it. Oh well. Also some pics are of lower buds as some tops were taking for sample product off one plant
