Hi,

ok so i'm almost ready to chop her down she just needs maybe 3-7 more days....just waiting for a few more pistol's turn, what should i do????

-foiler feed??? with very diluted fert???
-just chop her down now????

she's starting to turn yellowish, and the branches r starting to sag a bit...i haven't given her ferts for the past 2 weeks, trying to flush her out...now it seems she's a bit too flushed

would foiler feeding cause harsh smoking jane???

Don't feed and don't spray with anything. After the pistils have mostly changed, look for the sparkly crystals.

they're pretty crystally right now tho....i would say about 35-40% of the pistol's have changed...i've read that you should wait until about 60% of the pistols changed to chop her down...

maybe just chop her down in a day or so???

Dont short change yourself. Wait it out. Its ok if all the leaves turn yellow. Thats a good thing at this point.

Yes...
plus u need to go easy on the water to, or you´ll be looking at a long dry peirod...if u´re left with just one week i would stop giving the plant water..or at least reducing the watering gradually until u chop them

thanx for the advice...my only concern is the stems r starting to turn yellow as well...and the buds are sagging a bit.

The plant is dying ... and that's a good thing at this point. The reproductive life has ended for the plant, so there's no need to live any longer at this point. Sadly, it happens to all of God's creatures.

Some folks claim that turning off the lights for 72 hours before harvest increases the bud production a bit. I haven't ever noticed a difference but you might want to try.
