This has been flowering for 9 weeks, are these new little buds (with the white hairs) telling me I'm past the finish, or is it a late stage spurt? I'm not sure of the strain. Any advice is welcome.
if im not to late i know it looks ready now but under the scope could change your thought on cutting find a science supply store or a radio shack with a 30X w/ light the trichs will tell you if its ready if you have 20-30% trichs cut it it s way ready
^This. Radio Shack has a pocket scope for about $12. Do not chop based on naked eye visual, you cannot see the trichs well that way. Also, are you counting 9 weeks of flowering from when you flipped to 12/12 or from when the plant actually started to show flowering? Only the latter is valid.
