Looking like its holding on. The trich formation may be due to the stress! SAR responce will cause plant to go into defence mode and canna produces more triches I believe.

Yea but still sucks that she looks bad. I'm going to up the nutes some more in the am. pH 5.92 is holding a lot better. ppm 921 Getting close I've been checking trichomes and I'm at almost all cloudy. Tomorrow is day 55 do u think that it will make it to the end? Again you guys have really helped out in so many ways. Thanks again. New pics included. Njoy the view for here.

Ya sounds like your getting close to the sweet spot but they are looking pretty rough lol. Just a thought but do you check for bugs? Its hard to see with the led on lol, but hopefully you will get a ok harvest. Next grow you'll be more aware of issues and it can only get better

Patience is the hardest thing for a newbie. Honestly, I would say u have a few weeks left. I don't even flush until about half the pistols have turned red and then I go two weeks past that. Pay ZERO attention to the breeders claim for flowering time. It's something that has to be learned and observed first hand I think. It really clicked with me after I started cloning. I could take identical plants and harvest them in different weeks. The best tasting, heaviest, most effective medicine comes from truly mature plants. U would have to let them go a VERY long time to get to the point of "too far" and I guarantee it won't happen on ur first grow. Most first timers pull it too early. Ur pistols will turn post harvest, u may have nice trich's, and it might get u medicated, but nothing compares to bud harvested at the perfect time. If u ever have the chance to do a comparison grow u will see what I'm talking about. Mature bud just has this certain look and vigor to it. Think about it like growing any garden plant. A tomato can be picked green and will ripen off the vine. Nothing wrong with it, but it doesn't taste as good or have all the nutrients as the one that ripened on the vine. Ur bud will actually look like it does in the bags u normally buy while still on the plant. U should wait for it to look like something u actually want to smoke before u cut it. It's amazingly difficult -especially for a first timer because we all know how bad u want to try it. But it's well worth the wait. U'lol get to a pint where u just can't take it anymore, so just hold out as long as u can.

Thank you so much for the feedback. Lol it is pretty hard not to start snipping on her but I've waited this long, right! I'm learning a lot and have two other girls that are about a month behind her in the same res. so I will try to be more careful with them. This grow was really a trial using bag seed from some good good I saved. I purchased some good beans from Ali bongo and they will be next. I took a few better pics right at light out this am. I'm thinking 10 maybe 14 days left. So your prolly dead on! Lol All the trichomes are cloudy. So I'll keep checking them. My pH has really been an issue the last few weeks so it robbed her of nutes! last picture is the one of the other girls I have going about 4 weeks in

Its barely perceptible but I can try tomorrow before I pull it, ran out of time today. And dont want to either ..... . If your plant is inside you should be ok. I've never had it happen inside if that helps lol. It typically starts on the inside of the bud near the stalk and looks light brown.

Well I would have to say no ...... Sorry! Its kinda hard to tell but the pistils typically recede and it looks like yours are still quite white and full. Have you checked the triches? Is it still taking up water? How are your roots doing? Hopefully others chime in cause Im just winging it here lol.
