Do these buds look done?

They're not done but close from what I can see. The one looks like it's throwing out new pistils so it's probably got more time. Can we get a close up of each? Do you know the strains?

So I have Bubbleberry and the others are mix male key lime pie x peanut butter breath and key lime pie x Zkittles. I’ll get some photos in a few.

Your plants need another 2-3 weeks. They will throw and then recede pistals into the calyx, at least 3-5 times during the last weeks of flower stage. Commonly known as the Swell of Buds. Before harvest.

Should I keep giving nutes?

Well if you're in soil, than I would say No. Just black strap molasses and let the soil totally dry 3 day prior to harvest. If you're hydro, then Good luck. I organics only.

Nice! Keep giving nutes. What plants am I looking at exactly? The first couple pics look like they need a little more time, the 3rd and 4th look like they're closer to done, and the rest appear to have a while. Different parts of the plant will be at different stages. I usually wait for the whole plant to go ripe and swell before harvest. By the point the last bit has mostly/all dark pistils, and some amber trichomes. This is when I harvest. You could do it a little before this point (I wouldn't) and you could go later, my wife likes plenty of amber trichomes for pain relief. I don't like going to bed so I like a little less lol.

Sorry I should have said 1 tablespoon of black strap molasses to 1 gallon of water, mix well. Then feed when the temperature of the gallon is about 60-65 farenheit temp. To the roots.

His Fan leaves have ample amounts of nutes to feed the buds in the last few weeks.. please don't tell a newbie to feed more in the late stage of bloom. When its obvious it has no natural fade to the fan leaves. If anyone disagrees then, I would love to hear other wise.

From left to right the 4&5 photos are Bubbleberry and the rest are the key lime pie mix’s. I’m working 96 hours next week so if I’m not cutting them down this week they are staying until the week of the 26th lol

I used to not feed the last couple few weeks. Then I tried feeding all the way till harvest. They both seem to work fine. I don't have leaf drop anymore and I was worried about tasting nutes but I don't have this problem. Why not feed? Nute burn? Well then of course adjust accordingly. Not even that I disagree but I don't think it matters as much as you're making it out to be.

I'd say that's pretty realistic. Keep an eye on them and I'm sure you'll have a nice harvest. Good luck.

Hay Bro, I've literally done it both ways also. Feed till the end vs. Let it starve for the last 2 weeks. My Humble Anecdotal opinion is the buds will be more filled out and pronounced. When kept nuted up till chop. But I have noticed that if I give my last top dressed bloom/cal-mag dose at week 6 of flower. That they end up tasting, Stoning, and medicating better than the latter. BSM water for week 7- finished.

I'm always playing around and testing new things maybe I'll try as you suggest. I'm not organic tho so I don't know if this matters.
