Woah, looking nice! That's looking pretty done to me, though I usually let new strains go longer the first time I run them just to see how they finish flowering, but if everything looks like that I'd say you could pull them whenever you want. I rarely scope plants. I just wait for it to finish flowering, e.g., very little to no more new pistils, pistils have receded into calyxes and calyxes have swollen. That's just my way. I know you know what you're doing and those buds look great. Did you mention what kind of lights you use? I forgot if you did.Snapped a quick pick today, day 62 in flowering. Getting close now, not much longer to go.

What are they smelling like?Hey Buddy, day 61 today in flowering.........I was really planning on taking down some of the plants on Thurs (9 weeks) and brought out a strong flashlight and the microscope today, looking for some amber in the trichomes.....and was disappointed with what I saw. The plants that look REALLY done, very little if any amber could be seen while a few plants that don't look nearly done are showing some amber already. Either way, on average I would say most of the plants are about 90% cloudy. There is some variation though. The stink is full on right now, the wife brings it up everyday. We went to the vet today and she was worried the dog stank too. LOL I found that very funny when she said it. Funny though, I don't smell a thing. LOL LOL I promised her I would look into Dr. GreenThumb's "Incognito" strain, which is supposed to have no smell- for Xmas time this year.
So, at this point I think I'm going to just wait and harvest everything at 1 time at 10 weeks. It's not my preference because it means a lot of work over a 2 day period (actually 4 days if you include cleaning and starting the next crop), but it looks like my future.
Again I was impressed with the tiny bud I took and smoked last week. I left it in the bowl and once or twice I hit it in the next few days and caught a good buzz- it just wasn't "developed" yet but I can see by harvest time, it's going to be top shelf shit for sure. I've already mentioned the dense, rock hard buds. Yield will only be average at best, but a nice bud to leaf ratio means an easy trim.
Plants are yellowing now, as I've greatly reduced the fertilizer and will probably cut it off completely from now on.........but I may add a bit of molasses this last week.
That's nice of you to offer to grow a low odor strain for your wife. I'm not indoors so it's not an issue, but if I was I think I would have to politely convince my wife that it's necessary for me to grow strong odor strains for the greater good of the human race or something like that, ha ha. So, did the vet ask if your dog has been smoking the reefer? Ha ha.
Have you grown any of Dr. Greenthumb's strains before? I want to grow his ECSD. I read it's pretty spot on to the clone only and I've even read of a couple people who said they've got some plants that are even better than the clone-only is some ways.
