[catbuds]

Don't sweat it. That's normal. It just means the pistol is past being receptive to pollen for reproduction. You probably have 2-4 wks to go, maybe a little more. What you will need to look at is the trichromes. They will go from clear to milky to amber. You don't want too much amber, at this point the THC starts to degrade. You're doing fine & you have a little while to go yet.~~~PEACE~~~

hey man ok thanks for the help
i dont know how i dont have a loop to look at the trichromes :/ and i dont think the bud's are that big at all i did think mabey a month more and then harvest them

[thenewgrow]

when should i stop feeding it then a week before harvest time or? i have some thing for the week's up to the harvest time but i dont know what it is or what it do ? here are the name on the fertalizer that im talking about its called (Ripen)(late flowering nutrient) 0-6-5 when do i start feeding them only that ? 2 week's before harvest time or ?

[catbuds]

Once the trics start plumping up, you may be able to see them with the naked eye, if not, loops can be found cheap at camera stores, or even a magnifying glass from some place like walmarts. The next time I go to Harbor Freight, I'm getting a hand held microscope, but hell, I'm almost 60 & I can't see shit! LOL!
----OK, figure about 8wks to finish from the time you put them in 12/12. That's only an average. It varies.

[catbuds]

I'd start anywhere from now, till about another wk. I haven't tried Ripen, but I like the NPK. Is it chem or organic? About 2 wks from harvest, stop feeding & go to plain water. Guess you know nutes give your bud a metalic taste.

[thenewgrow]

so here are my nutrient drawing Attachment 295298 and here are the other one that was with the nutrient's Attachment 295299 is the first to weak or what is going on with the small bud sice ?
