Hey all, pretty much first time grower here. I have 1 big buddha blue cheese in a small tent somewhere about 7-8 weeks of flower. It's under a marshydro 144 reflector which it seems to be liking. The story of this plant is a tough on as my friend started in indoors at his house in about April but then he had to move and couldn't take them so gave one to me. I thought I'd put it in the garden and see how it went. It was already topped when I received it but that didn't stop it to growing to almost 6 feet outdoors. It did not starting showing any signs of flower until the end of august so not sure exactly when to chop hoping someone can advise. I then realised that with the wet and colder weather it would probably not last so got a wee tent and light to save her. She's budded up quite nicely after a tough start. I was feeding her tap water up until about 3 weeks of flower which I later realised was 8.1 pH so quite higher than what they like, sorted that out and started giving her bloom nutes though cheap ones regularly and a bit of pl 13 14 and it's done the trick to a degree but still some leaf issues etc. half way through flowering began giving it cal mag as leaves showing problems. Also it had a lot of the lower leaves eaten by pests while outside but because it was tall the top parts were ok. The tent is only 5 feet high and to get it in under the light I had to bend the 2 main stalks over and across each other and tie down. Which opened up the canopy but made the two tops pretty much lower than the rest (to fit it in) this has created a fair few main colas. I'm rambling here like this is a novel so let's cut to the chase. I've attached some pics, is anyone able to tell me if I should wait a week or two before chopping or it looks ready? Amount of brown hairs differs from bud to bud and unfortunately I don't have a loupe or magnifier to check trichs though need one really and money's tight this week. I could leave it but I have no smoke and will only have to buy some some at some point when I could maybe be puffing on this in a week if chopped now. Thoughts and opinions much appreciated! Thanks
