good thinking.. also take better pics of your plants op. take them out the hps lightWhat do the trichomes look like? Are they clear, cloudy...amber? I'm doing mine at about 30% amber...they're at 10 weeks flowering.
ya it is even hard to see if the colors of the pistils have changed, try taking a flash picture when the hps is off (this will help you get clearer pictures as opposed to orange pictures) they definitely look like solid dank buds though, good job!
