oh yeah, i plan on keepin that skunk goin for quite a while longer yet. just lookin at all those buds is MAD tempting though, so i'm glad the widow's just about ready to come down. On that note, i was reading here (fifth paragraph down) about taking some buds from the top early and letting the lower ones mature, esp with the increased light they get from the upper foliage being gone. So i was thinkin of cuttin off the main cola (the most mature/ripe part of the widow at the moment) tomorrow after my lights come back on since it has some trichomes turning amber around the edges of the leaves now. And since i was going for the more heady, cerebral high of early - still milky white - harvested ganj it seemed appropriate. Especially in an attempt to avoid harvesting too early or too late as the article warns about. Since this is my first grow to make it to harvest (my second overall) it seemed relevant advice.
