Well after babying these things for last 5 months sure don't want anything but primo bud...

Looks good. Gonna be super yellowed out by the time they finish but they’ll get there. Ride it til the wheels fall off

Might want to give that plant a nitrogen bump ( nitrogen is STILL necessary for photosynthesis) and leaf cells.
Leaf will not be of much help if it can’t photosynthesize . That strain looks Sativa leaning and no doubt will run longer.
PLUS .... your light choice for grow will dictate finish time - meaning weak panels will take plant longer to finish.

Other than that , nice flowers.

Ok I will wait it's been in bloom for 8 weeks and that what they say it's bloom time is but I want the best I can get...

Breeder bloom times are mostly lies. Follow them and you’ll get premature turds to smoke. Most everything can go atleast ten weeks. You’re calyxes aren’t swoll and stacked and tons of new white pistils. Here’s an 11 week bud that’s swoll and finished. Breeder said 8-9 weeks. If I listened I’d have trash

Thanks...I gave them a nitrogen boast a couple weeks ago and noticed the tips of the leaves were starting to burn so I have been giving them nothing but water since I worry about the leaves yellowing but everyone says that is normal at this point... I have bloom formula that is 2-10-10 do you think I need supplement the 2% nitrogen in it?

I am learning that I also have learned that I let them Veg to long next time I think I will start the bloom after about 2 months not 3 like I did these they got to tall...

Ok thanks I will let her continue then should I continue with my bloom booster?

I’d continue with feeding. Most of the fans are going to die no matter what you do at this point as they’re far gone into the fade but you definitely should feed. I tend to agree with the guy above who said give em a nitrogen bump. I wouldn’t worry about the leaf tips. It’s pretty normal. I’d go with something closer to a veg nute your next feed. Th yellow is working it’s way closer to the buds. Without a nitrogen hit...that yellow might overtake everything and make the plant give up before optimal harvest time. You have a very narrow window to get some nitrogen to them and it make a difference. When they’re too far gone with deficiency in flower they wont respond to feed anymore

My plant I just harvested was in 12/12 for 84 days. You’re not even close bubs. Give it another month. When all pistils turn orange/brown then start checking trichome color

Thanks for all the input sounds like the resounding answer is I need to wait a couple more weeks! Oh here is a photo of the whole plant...

Did math wrong- I agree with folks you likely have longer like 75-80days is usually primo. Nice flowers bro!

I'd give it some nitrogen and give it another 10-14 days and see what you got.

Well I followed your advise and feed them some nitrogen really greened up what leaves I have left here is new photo of the buds I am thinking I am getting close they are really frosty now glad I waited I am thinking another week and harvest?

I’m thinking another month before harvest. Slow your role. Remember, like this

you still have more than 75% white hairs. You cut now all Your work will be wasted and it won’t get you high. Chill out, let the lady do her thing

One good rule of thumb is that the pistols curl back inti the flower when its time to harvest. Its good to have a microscope too and look at your tricomes. Just one pic of a flower isnt enough to tell. If thats a top flower its not ready yet.

Thanks yeah part of the problem is I am limited on real-estate and I a have some clones that are out growing my starters area and these are still taking up the main grow area but I sure do not want to mess up my flowers either... Guess I will just keep cutting back the clones as I have been so much for what the seed company gave for times they said 8 weeks sounds it's going to be more like 12 weeks....

Never take the breeders word for it when it comes to flowering times. There are so many factors that go into how long a plant takes to finish (environment, light intensity, growing medium, type and strength of nutrients used etc etc) that unless you have your environment dialed in perfectly and the grow goes perfectly you won't be finishing in the times they typically list.

I gotta say, that is a killer grow for a newb, or anyone for that matter. Some got it, some don't. You have it well in hand. Nice work.

You have to understand. Breeders time is a suggestion. Doesn’t mean the seeds you have will run 8 weeks. Let your plant finish properly. If you have too many clones, well. Toss them. If you don’t have room, why try to keep going with them?

i say harvest. that looks done. I took a bug off a plant last week and smoked it. I thought it would be premature nope. I was so high felt 3' shorter my tris were barely there. pure gas

Ok guys I think I am there here is photo from a couple days ago I am now well over 10 weeks in bloom I don't want to ride this out to long but I keep looking for those amber tri's but you can see my buds are very frosted lots of red hair and smell wonderful.
