Thanks I'm really excited about this one, high hopes for some top shelf smoke

We are getting close to the finish line. Next saturday july 9th is the target harvest day. Took a small popcorn bud off the vanilla creme pie to check the trichs and I see mostly cloudy and a few clears so i think in 10 days they should be good to go.

I picked off the smallest popcorn bud from the lowest part of the dream factory and wow even the tiny buds all the way at the bottom of the net are really nice. Took some pics and trich shots and happily no amber yet I think I'm gonna be alright.

Last week of this grow. Watered for the last time yesterday. Planning on letting the pots dry out this week and chopping either Saturday or Sunday morning. The dream factory has been done for a few days but should be ok 5 more days, the vanilla creme pie buds have gotten riper and have darkened and tightened up, the chem 91 looks to be finished also but couldn't hurt by going a few more days and the exodus cheese isn't quite ready yet so she will be half cured before going into the freezer for bubble hash.

Good morning @Costanza Hope you had a great 4th of July my friend.
Your garden is beautiful.
Just wondering why are you chopping so early.
Those buds are clearly in full flower with a couple weeks of swelling left.
You are loosing out on potency and size.
But if there is a good reason to chop early then go ahead.
Take care.

Stay safe
Bill

Chopping because the one in the back left is done. I'm afraid if I wait 2 more weeks that plant is gonna be sleep medicine.

Now you got me 2nd guessing fire Marshall Bill. They're all 9 week flowering strains and this is week 10 and I started my flush 8 days ago.

I hate this part of the grow, afraid to chop too soon or too late. I agree with Bill, though, they look like they're still building and swelling. If you don't want to start feeding again, you could probably just keep watering. Or, you could drought for 10+ days until they finish. Just a thought...

I dont know what to do, im afraid if I let them go 2 more weeks the best plant in the tent is gonna amber up and be ruined. I'm gonna revisit this on Saturday and see how they look

A few Amber's don't matter.
What is important is the fact they haven't finished flowering.
I never harvest white pistils.
When she is finished flowering and building for you her white pistils will turn red and crinkle in.
As this is happening her nutrient uptake slows but your not watering?
I recommend you feed another couple weeks at least.
Then do your drought or flush ?
Seed companies quite frequently understate flowering times. Seriously
After all who wants a 10 or 11 week strain when this company says 8 or 9 for theirs.
Their is no one to regulate it.
So if your seeds say 9 weeks you can count on 11 minimum.
It's up to you obviously but if it were me I'd be more concerned about harvesting a mature plant full of thc.
After spending 4 months tending it, than I would about droughting and flushing.
Let them finish on their schedule, don't chop immature plants with white pistils.

Oh I never stopped watering they were just watered yesterday I was going to leave them to dry out for the week but I will take your advice and let them go another week or 2

Wow! The density! The color! The frost! You must be so psyched. So the plant in the third picture looks maybe like it can go longer?

That last one is the plant that I will be freezing and turning into hash, gonna let them go another week and harvest next weekend instead of this weekend.

And thank you @Bill284 for the tough love if not for your wisdom I would've chopped these prematurely

I appreciate that my friend.
I was a little nervous about being so forward.
I'm just trying to be helpful but not everyone sees it that way.
You have grown some beautiful ladies, just didn't want all that work wasted.
Have a great day.

Stay safe

Whoa!!! Those look FAT man! Must smell like a dream in there. Btw - have I complimented you on your patience lately? Way to not rush them! You are real close though. Excellent work, been fun to watch.
