I thought that i smoked too much seeing the amber. so i had my wife look at them also and she agreed.
and also i have very light resen production. im trying to get this thing to pop out some resin so im getting it a little warm in my set up to see if that will help. but im looking for some expeiranced eyes. the calender says its ready to yank in two weeks. but the tri's are saying yank, but the pistols havent retracted at all. so im kinda confused... help!

None of those ladies look ready. The flowers are just starting to swell up. Let them go for another 2 weeks.

Those look like they need llonger then 2 weeks...and breeder info and genes can differ radically... I'm running what looked to be mostly indica but its been flowering for 8 weeks and looks to need 4 more

Looks like she still needs at least a month, how far into flowering are you?

I agree not even close, maybe 3-4 weeks away
your internodes haven't filled out yet, you'd be pretty
disappointed if you picked now. How long ago did pre-flower
happen?

Not done. The pistils should retract into the seed bract and swell with resin. I had always been told to go by trichomes but I go by when the pistils turn orange-brown and have retracted into the seed bract and swell to the point that almost looks like there is a seed in there.

there is a slight amount of color comming threw, im gonna go check them again tonight. and see if i was just seeing that color. but for my wife to see the same thing is where i got a lil concerned. I honestly didnt think to cut um, because the hairs are still white and not retracted or dryed up. thats why im confused. im thinking that i was just seeing things. with out looking at my journal. im thinking one and a half months since light change. so that should take me to about a month out? still?

will they fill out some more? they are solid when squeezed, any recommendations to get some more resin production. so far ive turned down my ventilation to 15 mins every hour. and along with my oscalating fan. trying to get it a little warmer in the room. my temp was a perfect 70-72. 27 percent humidity.. with the fans cut down im running around 76-78deg. with 27% humidity.
im growing uder a 600 w hps for 3 plants, 8'x10'x8' room, using age old organics veg and bloom together. at half dose each, liquid bone meal, and calcium from nector from the gods, Epsom salts and molasses for the myco's, in organic dirt. ph ranges for watering and nutes 6.0-6.5 run off is usually at 7.0. open to ideas to boost the resin and the fat ass buds...

She will definitely fill out more if you wait. I'd honestly say ignore the trichs until the buds look developed

they were put into flower 1-1/2 months ago. but thats when i changed the lights over. so im figuring two weeks of preflower/ shock. so you prolly right.. but the leaves are yellowing and falling off already?? what could the reason be for that if there not ready yet. i pull off the leaves at 50% yellowing. and most were covering buds. so they get moved, yellow get yanked...

could be a Nitrogen deficiency. Im no Pro but i had this problem with my last plant, i used Cal-mag and N mix and it help slow the yellowing, it helped for me. im sure someone will disagree with me and say im wrong. But anyway, id give them babies a few more weeks.

i just did a flush with ph'd water and a good amount of epsom and calcium and bone meal.. then sprayed some ph'd water with some epsom on top. so we will find out soon enough. honestly i was under the imprsion it was just end of life cycle yellowing , i didnt pay attention to it because of the trichromes.. thanks for the eagle eye. + rep thanks

Its not n.

You have a horrible mag def...in one of the pics the leaves are almost straight up. This is known as "praying", the margins between veins shows clear chlorosis while you have slight clawing and borderline burn on the tips from n/over fed

i just did a flush with calcium and some epsom salts, with some bone meal. I dont understand i use epsom with every watering and feeding, along with calcium with every watering and feeding. i run my ph any where from 6.0 to 6.5 its hard to tell because im useing chemical indicator. so what would be the reason for this. and this isnt the first poblem ive had with the mg, and calcium def...?

I see no signs of calcium def..
Cal competes with mag..drop the Cal and bone

N tox locks out cal which will then combine with p to form calcium phosphate locking out p..

ok ill flush again with just ph'd water and epsom, unless theres another organic method of getting the mg to the plant. and thanks
