All those yellowed out sun leaves ones, I would chop provided over half of the pistils(white hairs) are red brown. Looks like there will be some nice trim you can bake at 200 degress for 15 to 20 minutes(use a timer) for a nice buzz.

Sorry man, I thought I was at another site talking to my ex. It's dementia. Nothing negative intended. Cheers to your great garden. I'm French Canadian. Plans are in the works to set up American Refugee Centers. All of you will be welcome here in Canada!

Knowing the truth is contagious, if you and I know, millions of others do as well. "It's been a long time coming, and it appears to be a long time gone" Yeah, I never flush, just use tap water the last month or so, fertilize every watering at half to quarter strength of nutes. I have flushed, however it makes an odor of wet soil, and I havent noticed an appreciable difference, other than the dirt odor. As a compromise, I do drench the pots towards the end once or twice. For me it's all about minimalism, small place, small cost, small grow.

Never od my plants w nutes waiting for "hulk" results, don't even believe on that, I always keep a regular schedule feed with normal or lower dosage I got soil and amendments so what else the plants could be in need for? I've being following the grow and never notice any nutes deficiency, only now near by the end of the cycle, with all leaves changing colors, I might be feeling a little confuse cuss what I'm facing now is the end of the grow , and it is new for me as the germination was at the beginig of the game as well, lol. But yesterday I noticed kind of a weird color going on top of a few buds on my NLights, wft is that color? by the way the shit is sticky and smells sooooooo f.... good.
peace and enjoy ur sunday, hope u r not under 110f like Im in CT, ew.

I know wat ya mean about "hulk" results. Yeah, I don't od em just lite, if it looks like over nuted,I just go for plain water and alternately use bottled "Evian" water spruces em up. That bud in the pic is done by my standards, I use a jewelers loupe(cheap) to finalize chop time, as soon as I see more than one amber trich its time. I waited till I had about 10 % amber once and it diminished the quality. Everyone's grow parameters and tastes are different. I got to consult, view and assist someone that grew for patients with serious medical problems, some were terminal. The medicine had to be perfect, they chopped the minute they saw any amber trichs at all. The best way to pop beans I've found is with jiffy peat pellets in a little plastic box that comes with it. I've gotten 100% germination and survival that way. Check out growing with Mr Tight on youtube lots of ideas, concepts there, he doesnt flush either. Here in Canada it's cool with low humidity and no riots or mass homicides.

If you harvest your plants with half of the pistils still white, then 99.9% of the 'real' growers on this site will tell you that you're harvesting too soon.

If you prefer to harvest before the plant reaches maturity, that's your choice and your right, they're your plants. But recommending a newbie do the same is irresponsible, in my opinion.

Even with the pistils done it may not be ready, the most accurate way to tell is checking the trichomes. When they start to turn milky, that's the beginning of your harvest window, they'll have a more active high at this point. The longer you leave them, the heavier the buzz gets, and also the better the pain-killing, until around 30-50% of the trichomes are amber.

A good digital camera if you already have one should work, or a handheld microscope, a jeweler's loupe or an Eyeclops toy are all cheap and effective, there's 60x loupes/microscopes from £1 to £10 on amazon which will be plenty to see trichome colour or handheld usb microscopes with 100-400x which you can take pictures with for £20+, Eyeclops Bionic Eye is £24 on amazon right now
