Those are some crazy pictures! :)

In the last picture it looks like you've got quite a bit of milky trichs. Also, I'm not sure if it was from the pictures, but, in the first three shots it looks like there's a lot of damaged trichomes (like the heads have popped).
Yea she's taking a beating under the led.. So based of these pictures what do u think?

Loupe was only like 9 bucks on Amazon
Doesn't matter if was a penny, if it gets the job done that's that matters. :)

Based on those pictures I'd say like a week to ten days. It wouldn't hurt to check multiple spots daily from here on out until they reach the maturity you're looking for.

Has the swelling of the calyxes slowed down? Also, how close is your light?

If the calyx swelling has slowed they're probably pretty close to being done. And, at 17" the light shouldn't be damaging the trichs like that, unless it produces a bunch of heat. In my experience, three things produce that kind of damage, being overripe and the trichs are degrading, too much heat, or rough handing.

If they've hit the recommended photo period length, you're probably good to chop, just use your best judgement. :)

Probably a factor of rough handling, light stress, ya Friday is 10 weeks so I think I'll cut the lights on Friday, I want to see a few Amber

Pretty awesome, right!?
Once I got my setup to consistently produce a half pound, I never had to pay for herb again, some like 5 years now. Unless one of my friends have a strain I've just been dying to try. lol :)
Right... So dope.

I'm shopping around attitude right now thinking of getting some new seeds. I think I'm going with Barnys farms lsd and HSO blue dream. Can't wait

Greetings. The plant looks good love, the fat stalk.
Those 650g bricks are like 2 gallons wet?

I use pro mix #4 advanced, cost around 37 for the 60 lb (6cuft) bale in a hydro shop. I can fill up 11 three gallon pots and still have enough left to fill a 19-gallon tote for storage/cooking.

Wow man, such an inspiring post. I've been researching a lot and finally joined the board like a week ago. I'm at the stage where my gear is piling up, just waiting on seeds. Going to setup this weekend, the wait is killing me. I'm going with a soil grow (fox farm ocean forest) though and plan to document the process. Thanks a ton for taking the time to journal your experience, I read it from start to finish and was at the edge of my seat with the gnat and cal/mag trial and error. Really good stuff man.
