Well things are moving along nicely and yes still a few weeks to go. trichomes on the buds are still mostly clear, but they are sure getting frosty and building mass, some steam bent over do to weight.

Like everyone has been saying, you still have a ways to go. It might help if you tell yourself:
"Don't look at the trich's for a week".

I realize the temptation is there daily...really, I do. But the guys are right. Be patient.

Here is a silly stupid rule you can consider following:
"Once you think they are ready, wait another week"

It's hard but you will be rewarded!

I understand. We've all been there.

Hell...I struggle with this every time. I'm sure other experienced growers do too. Your adrenaline starts flowing. You're super excited. You want to chop.
I get it. You just have to find a way to force yourself to wait that extra bit.

I think the best advice might be to let go of micro managing. Put the scope away and don't inspect trichs until Saturday, or whatever. Once a week is enough.
Just focus on what she is saying she needs and try and not get in the way too much.

As hard and as painful as this might sound, consider:

(It's Saturday night where I live)

1) Put your scope away and don't touch it until next Saturday night.
2) Focus only on what she is telling you. Does she need a bit of water? A bit of food? Just do what you've been doing, in that regard, and try and forget about harvesting at that magical moment. Trust me when I say this: That "Magical Moment" will be too early and will be followed by regret.

Keep us updated and we'll help you as you say you need help :)

If you're desperate to try your smoke, cut off a few buds or a cola and practice drying and curing. DO NOT USE THE OVEN OR MICROWAVE! Let the buds air dry for 4 - 7 days, depending on temp and humidity of the drying room, then jar them so you can learn what you need to do on these first ,samples, rather potentially screwing up than the whole plant and all you've invested to get to this point.

We've all be there, you can read everything available under the sun. But until you've done it yourself, you still have a lot to learn. Hang in there and learn from all of our mistakes.

So i have fan leafs turning and dying on me, mostly lowest part of the plants...
that’s normal at this stage??

No it is not normal. When plants leaves are dying starting from the bottom its usually a macro nutrient problem. It could be alot of things but try to keep the fan leaves green all the way until harvest. Not dark green either. Leaves are what grow the bud. You dont want to starve your plant (cutting back on nutes, at one of the most important stages in growth, last 2 weeks of flower) and kill off the solar panels it uses to grow. Do you see tomato growers cut back on feed last two weeks of flower? Dont think so. Weed is a plant. We got to stop all the bullshit bro science in pot growing.
End rant.

I’ve cut out my base nuts with B-52 and right now I’m using AN overdrive, Bud factor X, Rhino skin and bud candy.

I have to say I’ve noticed them bulking up and putting on weight... tomorrow I’ll snap some pics since it was a week to date since starting this post.
