I have a question... My buds are showing mostly cloudy trichs with some clear and some amber. I still have pistils popping out.. Should I give it another week?

Probably more then a week realistically. Can you post some pictures of the buds not under the hps lights?

It’s all tied up rn I’d have to move my box to unhook the light. I’m on day 59 of flower. All different bud shots.

Yeah I’d be giving it some more time, 7-10 days probably. It is definitely near the end. But just the last few days it has been putting on weight which is why the branches started leaning. You want the buds to have time to swell properly.

Ok. I saw a video of wizardNPK saying even though the bud is ripe outside, trichs inside could still be clear

when the last of those little white hairs are gone, that's the begining of your harvest window and when you should start looking at trichs.

My plant is foxtailing slightly. Should I wait for those to turn color as well?

My last grow kept throwing new hairs throughout flower. Had a new flush of them at 5 weeks, 7 weeks, and 9 weeks. Chopped at 11 weeks and there were still some white ones in there.

I didn't see that in your pics. just a couple little white hairs that need finishing up. got a pic of this foxtailing?

I’ll try to get better pics. Maybe it’s not foxtailing. A couple weeks ago I set up a new grow box and went from a 150w HPS to a 600w HPS and started noticing new pistils popping. Maybe I’m tripping

Also... is it too late to water with a little bit of Kellogg’s fish and kelp extract with molasses?

I don't think it needs nutes now, just water is fine.

I’m on day 64 today. The plant is drinking almost a gallon of water every 1-2 days now. When should I cut her down?? Trichs are all cloudy haven’t really seen any ambers but it’s hard to tell under the HPS. Let me know

What to do is be patient and let it finish. 60 days since you flipped the lights to 12/12 I assume you are saying. Which means they had only really been flowering for 45-50 days most likely, and that isn’t even close to a long time. It takes time, and patients to grow quality buds.
You will not degrade or over ripen your plant! It would take weeks of IGNORING it for that to happen.

It’s day 65 of 12/12. Idk how long to let it go for. It took a week and a half ish to start budding

We’ve been helping you along, just take a deep breath let her do her thing. As a general rule for new growers once you think a plant is done it still needs another 1-2 weeks. I’m on my phone right now so I’m not gonna type it all out but I regularly post detailed descriptions of the maturation and ripening process of the cannabis plant.

I took a look at the trich color and theyre still cloudy not really any ambers yet.. infact when I use the microscope to look inside the buds theyre kinda clear still
