yes- they will give you FALSE readings.
Do you check bud trichomes or leaf trichomes

Had to bump in on the thread.
No shame bro. GAD here as well. Express it.
I find when I experience anxiety and vocalize it to others around me it helps more often than not.
And therapy is better than any medications you can take.
Dropped seroquel, anti-psychs, alprazolam and blood pressure meds.
How? Just like you bro. Therapy, actually vocalizing my emotions and good old Indica!
Pharmaceutical free for 7 years now after a decade of mental agony and living in a daze of forgetfulness and fog.
Nice plants btw. I’m at the same stage of growing too.

Glad to hear you made it off the meds. I find that telling others I have anxiety does in fact make me less prone to have panic attacks in front of them too. It’s amazing how many people know someone who has anxiety once I tell them my condition. I usually don’t mention it though unless I know them well. Looking forward to being med free!

I dont care for trichs, your plant needs longer like two weeks

I grew 2 plants indoor that were different strains, one had leaves that yellowed, the other one didn't. Everything was the same for both plants except the strain. I think it depends more on the strain than the conditions.

Different strains will require different feedings sometimes.
Some are magnesium whores while others require more p or k... or even one can have iron deficiencies while other strains are thriving. An experienced grower will be able to read the signs very early and adjust before it's a problem.
Just like my jelly pie seems to need way more phosphorus then my others who are fed the same. So I feed it some sea bird quano and not the others. Boom problem solved.

I didn't see it as a problem, got almost 1/2 pound from the plant under a 315W CMH. I thought it did pretty good for a "moderate yield" strain.

I’m trying if it doesn’t die first. Lots of those yellow leaves are gone now. It is a beautiful photo. The focus is perfect.No the photo not the closeness, i see a green trich, blue, white, purple brown on some luch gree with black background. Stunning.

I’m glad to hear the forgetfulness goes away. It’s horrible how the meds mess up memory. I’m in my early 40’s and my 72 year old dad has a better memory than I!! My memory and sex drive are pretty bad. Perhaps too much information lol.

Not saying it is a bad thing or that you cant get yields from it. Just saying that you could have kept it green til the end if everything was dialed in properly for that strain. Yes I understand fading is the plant stealing nutrients from the leaves. If the soil is dialed in the plant wont have to fade. When you have all green leaves then you are getting better photosynthesis, which only leads to better yields.

I do see some ambers in there, but they really look like they are clustered together which makes me think they turned amber from being handled or damaged at some point. I know its really hard to be patient, and let the plant finish. I really would be waiting another 10ish days most likely. Actual harvest day isn't usually something I decide before hand. I just watch the plants until they have shown me all the signs.
I've watched buds put on so much weight they bent over strong stems in just a few days during the final weeks.

I appreciate your patience and coaching through this. Good explanation for the amber patches. Makes sense and makes waiting easier.

Ever consider HRT? That’ll jump start the old sex drive. 100-200mg Testosterone a week is all it’ll take.
In the meantime... 5000 -8000iu vitamin D3 for a few days then maintain around 5000. You’ll know if it’s too much as you’ll wanna urinate more.
Should perk up the mood and sex drive a little in the meantime.
And on topic in the thread. Thanks for the info. I’m trying to dial in harvest time too.
Harvested too early my first crop. Second crop pushed longer, but still not feel long enough. This time I’m pushing at least one plant far past what I feel is ripe. Gotta make mistakes to learn.
Kinda like how I always have a plant I get healthy then try to kill. This time it’s over fert. Next time will be ph swings to the extreme.

If health declines much more you will be forced to cut, you will know when harvest is.
I always recomend a two week hang dry once cut and trimmed

Bud has subtle changes when going late, it starts getting a shabby slapped around look, pistils turn brown but when they all wither your into late harvest. Theres still a few unswollen calyxs that will swell this late. You need healthy plants to really appreciate and green leaves because its pretty energy intensive for a while still. Its all you need to basically become a pro at when to harvest

Once all the pistols have folded over and browned up then start carefully checking trichomes and as soon as you see cloudy trichome heads for the most part she's ready to be chopped. You will definitely see some amber trichomes in places but mostly cloudy.
