You’re tripping. When your plants look like this, then they’re just about ready. Get yourself a jewelers loop to check trichomes.
Time to harvest? Did I mess it up? Ahhhhhhh

haha nah bruh im not one of those - i do the work lolz so my plan from what i know now - is the next week go hard on the PK to fatten buds - then flush (still gotta research that) but 2 days before chop day - go fully dark for 2 dys to boost tricombs and then hang dry in tent at 65 deg at 45 RH for 6-8 days the bottle em up 1/2 way in mason jars w thar hydrate pack thing - im getting screen trays to catch everything for hash and rosin - rinse - smoke - repeat lol

ok bet - i just ordered the jewelers loop - so i notice your leaves are discolored - beautful btw lol should i expect the same of my leaves in the next 2 weeks? I see mine are starting to go yellow and i thought it was a calmag/nitro defiiciency but i see now that all the girls do this at the end?

I had colors start showing up about week 6 of 12/12. I ran 12/12 for 84 days. Plants did discolor but weren’t getting brittle until just before I started to harvest

I've been growing RDWC for 5 years now, and I suggest at least a week of just water to finish.
When I ran multiple strains using a common rez, it was impossible to do this because of the plants finishing at different weeks.
What I've experienced running single plants in dwc buckets is that they smell/taste better when I let the plant senesce(fade).
Of course, this is all subjective but that's my opinion.
p.s. I finally have a mono-crop running in my main room so I'll try it on my big system.

I grow 100% organic in soil with no bottled nutrients. I pretty much just water plain RO water, no ph or anything. My soil mix is FFOF, Malibu compost, EWC, dr earth 4-4-4 all purpose and 3-9-4 flower girl, and last I mix in perlite. My plant was a bag seed of some gelato 41 I was smoking on. Harvesting process consists of cutting all the branches and drying the whole plant. I leave all leaves on to extend my dry period. Today was day 7 of drying and my stems still are bendy.
here is one of the small tops I cut and trimmed up to smoke on.

Frankly most plants aren't done in 8-9 weeks.

nice ill do the same then - chop and hang dry with everything to extend the dry. i rock RO water too but i tried doing coco for my first grow but the shit would dry out sooooooooooo fast unless i gerinated in a 5 gal bag. hydro is so easy lol plus.......the living soil smell.....holy shit lol

10-11 weeks is much more common, and 12 isn’t rare. Some sativas need 14+ weeks.

If you think your plant will be ready in two weeks your making a GRAVE ERROR
It's your plant, but to waste a this time to just harvest is just plan sad
