What are her trichomes looking like?

I'd have to look. Lol. Probably mostly milky w a touch of amber. Like quite a few here I chop when they get the right look AND feel to them.

Sounds corny but I listen to what they say and take them when they say they are done. When I first started I found trichome inspection alone to not be as accurate as sometimes you get some amber, milky clear etc... Yet... The plant is not done. By assessing the plants on thier entire look and feel my end result improved quite a bit. Thanks to many more experienced growers here I was able learn how to "finish" them much better without a scope. I do still use a loop once in a while but rarely. :-).

Doesn't soub corny at all, we go based off when it feels right to pick it. Usually it ends up having a lot of Amber. You just have to go with your gut. The last time we had your 9lb hammer it was fantastic!

The 9lb may look done but it's not. Check the trichs. They're still clear. It takes 65 days to finish. It always looks done to the naked eye at 7 1/2 weeks but it's not. It will chunk up much more too. You'll get a better terp profile letting it go longer too

The old pheno you gave me has always been ready at 7. I leg it go longer several times and it never got any better. The new one went 9 last time and was good. But it never even looks close at 7.

Corn meal is what worms also like allot of. if doing top dress for flower use cucumber skins/potatoe skins/orange peels and even cantelope skins to the worm bin and will give you a nice 1-10-14 npk or 1-3-4 depending how and what you feed them with overall. I also add egg shells.
