So I have 4 white widows from crop kings seeds which I cloned from previous plants grown in soil with 1 450w viparspectra and 2-250w viparspectra LEDS, temps range from 75 during day till 65 at night, humidity during flower has hovered around %40, I feed gh flora trio about 1/2 strength, sometime 3/4 or full strength really very slight burning at full steength. The buds are not big like my previous harvests but if never harvested this strain from crop kings before. I did try the bud back building technique in these snipping off the very tip of each bud which I did about 4 from 12/12 flip or week 3 from first signs of flowers. These are roughly 56 days from 12/12 flip give or take a few days. Opinions on maturity or readiness? I know they have started swelling for sure but do you think they are done or do they have more mass to put on?I am not used to buds being this relatively small, not that they are tiny or anything20190218_152602.jpg 20190218_152602.jpg 20190218_152540.jpg 20190212_175833.jpg 20190212_175826.jpg 20190212_175750.jpg 20190212_175736.jpg 20190212_175913.jpg 20190218_152602.jpg 20190218_152540.jpg 20190212_175833.jpg 20190212_175826.jpg 20190212_175750.jpg 20190212_175736.jpg 20190212_175913.jpg 20190218_152602.jpg 20190218_152540.jpg 20190212_175833.jpg 20190212_175826.jpg 20190212_175750.jpg 20190212_175736.jpg 20190212_175913.jpg

I have the endoscope for Android with 200x zoom but it just recently stopped working and im not buying another one. I was just planning on eying the swell and the golden tinge but I'm used to alot more of a swell. I'm used to my colas being about 12 inches solid bud, these cola terminal buds are like 5 inches solid buds then there's a gap between the next nodes but like I said I have never grown these WW from crop kings

Every strain runs different... dense , spear shaped , chunky , small nugs.

Just enjoy these beauties. Grab a scope , judge OVERALL triches from different buds to see how each separate container is at in doneness.

Look look great ...

Update us with photos of the trimmed buds once you harvest.

by looking at photos any ballpark guesses as to how much I will yield from these 4? I'm just a little disappointed that i don't have huge colas because after drying I won't have any really big buds but oh well I guess

After really observing them today I have came to the conclusion that the buds still have alot of substance to put on. I really noticed some swelling just from the day before and they are pushing out new white pistils so I think the calyxes are in the beginning stage of their swell which leaves me very optimistic about the next week or 2. *side note* I just added a 400w MH light to my room of 1-450w LED and 2-250w LEDS, 3-15w 3k flood lamp LEDS(I use for supplemental side lighting), PLUS A UV-A + UV-B LAMP to really give the buds a push the last few weeks. So I now have 1,350w or atleast 950w (actual wall watts) in my 2x5 room

They look great! I imagine you could cut right now and be pretty happy. I bet if you gave it another weekish they will still put on a little more weight as they keep swelling internally. I've seen plants bend over sturdy stems in a matter of 2-3 days near the end. But congrats on a lovely crop!
