Week 8. Will these swell more or should I cut em down?

I have 3 blueberry plants that all look to be different phenos in soil and a wwxbb in coco. It's week 8 and the leaves are starting to change colour into purple/yellow/red. This is my 2nd grow and I know I fucked up last time and missed out on weight by not letting them finish properly. I reckon I lost ounces. Do these look done or shall I hold off for a week or two? 20171029_202249.jpg 20171029_202231.jpg

I have no idea but I will parrot what I have read on every other single thread asking the same question.
Do you have a jewellers loupe or magnifying glass to look at the trichomes? How do they look? Clear/milky/amber

I have a jewelers loupe I bought online. It's 30x and a fucken hopeless piece of chinese garbage. Can't see anything really. Think I need to get a 60x one at least.
 
No theyb, they look pretty much finished

Fuck the loupe, they look pretty done to me, what do you think? Could be better if you followed site etiquette and posted without the blurple leds too....

Its a low yeild even if they do swell, too leafy im afraid, the final buds will be small, i kind of wish i had better news :-)

Yeah I was a bit reluctant to do any defoliating and its a leafy jungle for sure. didn't lollipop or remove any leaves at all. I topped them heaps which in hindsight was a bit of a fuckup. Most of the new tops I created never received adequate light and will give me popcorn. Live and learn I guess. At least they are healthy.

Not defoliating is not the reason they are small....

Just cut and grow not defoliated

You Need a 100x scope can get good ones for 50 bucks. 60x is a minimum. I say give em another week it won't hurt anything, but not gunna change the weight by much.

Hey hey look good either way. A little small you say, who cares it's for personal use & grower bigger next time. Lesson learned each Grow. PS I bet it's gonna be great smoke
 
New school blue berry eh? My how different it looks from the original Shorts...

Normal lighting for pictures makes a world of difference.

Nope, not ready in my book. Calyax's aren't swollen enough.

Ok, so you didn't do any plant bloom prep. (lollypopping)

Let the exposed canopy buds ripen properly. Harvest those. Leave those that have not on the plant. 1-2 weeks and harvest the rest. Yes, feed it as they ripen too.

I do stepped harvests of 6ft plants.

Popcorn or larf buds? Make them into butter or coconut oil.....or make them into a Malawi Cobb....

60x is more than enough and you can get one that you can use manually or clip onto any cellphone camera for $10, maybe less. If you cant determine ripeness from that, its not the scope. C63B006F-AF41-4B2B-9A96-CD53D5B49445.jpeg
