I'm glad you guys explained the amber thing with the trichs -- I would be going by the amber in the "hairs" otherwise. Looks like I still have a ways to go, but I'd really like to go into harvest mode within the next two weeks and I'm thinking I'm done with feeding (pH adjusted water from here on out). Think I'll chop a small bud just to dry & try - it's all real sticky. Above all, this growing stuff is a bit of an exercise in patience, no?

Lower leaves looking pretty stressed and haven't seen any vertical growth in over a week. Gotta be getting close, right?

They don't look that close to me. Indoor plants usually loose many of their bottom leaves and change colors, like autumn leaves. Gold, yellow, purple, red colors mean senescent, they are dying. Nice green plants like yours are not a good sign that there are ready. If the trichs are ready then you used too much nitrogen during flowering and the smoke may not be the best. I had this happen my last grow. I noticed a real lack of odor and flavor. Your buds look wonderful though, I hope they can finish up nicely.

It is an educational experience, that is well worth the ride. Love don't come easy :jointsmile:

Love the sticky, smoke some scissor hash for me.

Thanks, shov. Trichs still look pretty clear to me (right at 6 weeks in flower). Been trying to rush things a bit because if I can't harvest pretty soon, I'm going to have to put the whole thing on autopilot for awhile. I've got a system worked up where I can water the plants automatically (pH adjusted water only, no food). Kind of want to try that anyway.
