Top Buds with white, cream hairs.jpg

My top plant buds are all white and some of my side branch buds are going brown.

Should i wait until all buds are going 80% brown?

Also i am seeing some sickness occuring on some bud leaves and fan leaves at the bottom of the plant see pics.

Can anyone help with the sickness or harvest info.

I have been giving plants corrected ph water for the last week, but some fert on thursday and just ph corrected water saturday. Some parts do look like fert burn?

I want my buds to get bigger and hopefully all join together on the side branches before harvest, but i don't want to sacrifice a great smelling crop with goood high.

What's the best time to Harvest to acheive this?

you need to flush your plant.
Flush with PH corrected water, till in optimum PH range, 3 times the volume of the pots rule of thumb but may require more
EG: 1 gal pot = 3 gal. flush
you can add a carbo boost 1 tablespoon of unsulphured molasses to the last gallon of the flush.

no more ferts

what you see in nitrogen toxicity & the reason for the flush, to leech out the excess ferts
As to harvest, Id wait 2 more weeks atleast till the ferts are breaking down ( the molasses will help ) so you dont end up with harsh hard to burn weed from all the nitrogen.

harvest is a personal choice, if you want a heady cereberal buzz, harvest when 50% of the trichomes turn cloudy

If you like a heavy body stone & like the couch lock wait till the trichs begin to turn amber or all the pistils turn red

you can buy a small hand held microscope @ radio shack for $10.00

Thanks GG!

One last question.. After a couple of weeks, can i remove buds which look like they are ready and leave only buds which require more time?

Knew i could depend on you for Wisdom!

yes yes yes

cut the largest colas cover the ends of the stalks with electrical tape so that they dont ooze the nutrients & sugars and the nutes will be routed to the other remaining colas, after the shock
