To be honest it doesn’t look like it’s that much closer to being ripe compared to the pics 2 weeks ago.
The leaves are showing some age but the buds are still spitting out some white hairs.
That’s the thing with some plants that confuses the hell out of me….when they just don’t wanna finish.
I’m dealing with it now and concluded that I stressed them too much.
Are your trichomes progressing?? If you’re seeing some ambers and they’re increasing I’d say you’re gettin close.
I don’t have a leaf left on my plants and still just a small percentage of ambers.
The one thing I might worry about it is all the dead leaves. I removed mine once they were toast….before they reached the inside of the buds.
i can’t thing of a single benefit that a dead leaf brings to the plant. But it can increase the likelihood of harmful pathogens and pests.
I used to think there was no way possible I would harvest a plant with white pistils still showing……but now I’m not so sure.
