I like your plant, el... though I'm not a seasoned vet to answer any of your questions. I'm out in BC and just chopped my baby, same as you, I managed to finish one lady this year. Next year hopefully I'll improve my score. For my harvest time, I had bought seeds so I went by their 'finish by' date and actually cut a week after the last date they listed. I looked at trichomes after I chopped, and didn't actually see any amber ones, but the hairs are probably half brown by now, and we've had one night of frost, so I kind of decided to cut before the plant got frozen. Anyhow, just wanted to say. nice plant.
