Is it time to harvest?

There are a lot of schools of thought on this subject. Some say 80% golden triches some say go by pistils. Personally I go by gut instinct. As the previous poster said it is really up to the grower. However I can say that buds will over ripen much quicker than they mature. Best of luck to you and yours

Congrats on keeping green till the end. I go at least a week longer then recommended and then when they look ripe and just tired w hairs not growing as past. Gone over by month or longer to know difference in final outcome. Heck I stopped looking at triks years ago and just have it dialed in. Keep notes and dial it in for repeat everytime like this.

That last week or 2 your buds will get much more dense so I would just wait another week or so. They look pretty close to me and this is personal preference but I think you will be happier in the end if you wait another week. Good job by the way.

Thank you!
Have you had experience using beastie/open sesame/cha ching in the last weeks of your harvest respective to general soil feeding schedules of course?
I didn't think my plants smelled that much until I took one out, it smells fruity and ripe.
I did use a little of those boosters towards the end
*gimme a king cobra with a hook in it, yes please!

No worries. Can't help you with bloom boosters. I grow in Coco and believe most of the bloom boosters are what I would call snake oil. The way to have amazing plants is right genetics, light, heat, RH and feeding schedule. If you dial in those things your plants will be awesome. IMO there is no genie in a bottle that can substitute for those things. This was my last tent and only fed GH trio with Calmag and Epsom salt. Was not a perfect run but also did not use any bloom boosters as they call them.20210124_200259 (1).jpg

Thanks man. I went down that same rabbit hole when I started and realized after my first run I was wasting my time and money. Plants don't need it, it's mostly marketing and since we all want giant frosty buds they promise them to you. Sadly most of that stuff is just some ferts and water with a cute picture on the label.

Bloom boosters are silly and unnecessary

I'd personally wait a week but that's just me. I prefer a little more couchlock and relaxation than a lot of other growers (30% amber +/- 10%). Here's a photo I just took of one of my better buds, I think this one's got around 2.5 weeks left or so until I harvest her.

Chop the tops and wait a week or two on the lowers. Answers your question for the next time you add a wek between harvests. LOL. Sample and be happy when it fits you.

Combine 500mg/L L-Arginine, 1mL/L GH Bloom, 1mL/L CalMag (Sensi is my brand) and spray that under the leaves at around 5 weeks every other day for 4 days right after the lights come on. You'll notice a difference. I promise. That particular amino acid can be taken up easily by the leaves at a pH of 5.5-5.7 and is one of the key amino acids that are responsible for growth regulation in cannabis flowers.

To me, it's more like "buying bloom boosters is silly and unnecessary"

My nutrients have aminos in them. I do a simple 2 part nutrient and a simple compost tea once a week.
