Ok, lots of conflicting stuff here, lol. I checked the buds 2 days ago under magnification (60x) and the trichomes looked like they were still pretty clear to me. But again, I may not have any idea what I'm actually looking at. I have been flushing the soil for about 8 days and not adding any nutrients, so it shouldn't be a N issue. I can't imagine that I missed prime crop time, since this is only week 7 and I've been watching them every day. They hit about 55-65% hair color change before the new growth.

let them go a bit longer just watch you dont over doit otherwise the solid buds will elongate. it will not hurt to let them go a bit longer by the sound of it. you know your very close

Sooo, you're saying wait til I get back home tonight and start chopping? Or to wait? That was a lot of VERY good info, but it seems to say that people should just do whatever they want and it'll work out ok.


EDIT: hahahah, I seem to be just 2 seconds behind you in posting. Thanks so much! I know the ladies appreciate it!

at the end its up to you if you want to wait a few days to get a bit more then fine my self i would cut them down with in the next 7 days and get a new batch going in to take their place as soon as they are cut.

Are you pH-adjusting the water?

9inch bigbud -> I think I'm going to chop them on friday, so they still have a few days to finish growing and that will put them at the 8 week mark anyway. And the clones still have a few more weeks of vegging (making moms) but this should be more than enough to get my by til those are ready. I'm a medical marijuana patient, so its all just for me anyway.
UserFriendly -> I'm using bottled water so pH shouldn't be an issue.

Who said it was an issue? Just asking a straight-forward question bro. BTW, you'd be surprised at the quality of some bottled water. Congrats on the harvest.

you have at least a few more weeks to go and there will be a fair amount of new growth in that time, if you have the cash invest in some additional lighting and you wont be sorry, the colas are lookin a little skinny
