So what do you think of this one? This is my first grow, so your feedback is greatly appreciated. Bruce Banner that's been in 12/12 for 8 weeks this Thursday. I think it needs to keep going, but the pistils have looked good for weeks, though the trichomes are still very clear. Also, how quickly does it go from "ripening" to "over-ripe?" I've fed with nothing but molasses & water since Saturday, figuring that I'm a week or two from harvest. If I give it nutrients again today I won't want to harvest for at least a week. I'm guessing that a few extra days won't make the difference between peak THC and couchlock, right?

Need Pics in regular lighting , can't see shit with the purple , most times people cut too early , it's not often someone cuts too late
Ya, I dunno if I'm a week out or not. That's sort-of the question. Keep giving nutes for a bit or back off to prepare for harvest.
So your really only day 42, I’d give only water for next two weeks n chop, or feed again then give only water for two weeks xhop Edit : feed again then start flushing, id grow every 8 week strain 9 weeks from pistil anyway
I don’t think they will go from all cloudy to over ripe in a week. I think ud end with about 20-30% amber. Just a guess tho. I’ve had some that took more then two week to get from cloudy to 10% amber
Most of the time when your new to the hobby you always wanna chop early/ start flush to soon. Too many end up doing so. Keep track of days but go by trichomes only on when to harvest. I wouldn’t start flushing until u get 5-10% amber unless u want a bit more. U don’t wanna flush early and starve them when they want food to fatten up. How long u flush will depend on ur feeding/water regime and how heavily u feed. If u feed light, do maintenance flushes through out the grow, and didn’t have a lot of issues u are not going to have to flush as long as if you fed heavily and have a lot of silt build up.
So you're using amber in some trichomes as your indicator that the plant is ready to harvest? I've been reading that amber is associated with more sedative effects and I'd consider this slightly too late. Is this just a matter of taste or am I misunderstanding something?
After most to all of the trichomes turn amber they will get slightly darker then bend over and “die” having a little amber 0-20-30% is 100% ok. When ur new it’s better to go slightly a little longer and “work your way back” rather then chop early and get a rly crappy high/smoke. If ur looking for Highest thc but want different kinds of smoke for different effect buy the type of strain u want and harvest them all at as close to all cloudy. Which I’d probably shoot for 10-30% clear left and start flush. Another thing with letting it go a little longer is u get to see how much if any fatten comes at the end the last couple weeks
Will bump this to say thanks for the advice. I fed again on the 13th and on the 16th noticed that she has sprouted a small number of new white pistils, so she's clearly not done yet. Will continue to be patient and observant. Would be due for more nutrients today/tomorrow if I'm going to push it out for one more week. Will see.
