They probably dont need full strength at that stage.
Ok. What is it that im looking for to determine when they are finished?

I continue to give my plants their organic fertilizer. Most are in the ground and up to 7'+, and the six in pots definitely also get food with each watering, which I simply dump in their individual watering basin's. Better than letting them run low in nutrients and finding out in the end that the "cleanse" caused fluffy buds. You want your buds to feel rock hard before you pick them. Probably all the hairs will be long-since brown. Some people here report seeing trichomes change to amber and back to clear and back again. I go more by how hard the buds feel, or sometimes simply paranoia might make me pick some early just in case I get thieves.
Ok I got you. Thanks, I was so worried about missing the window that I lowkey have been rushing the process instead following my initial plan.

I do own and use a microscope, and I typically do harvest within the bounds of common sense. I think the guy known as Frenchy Cannoli, who does the fairly expensive hash-making seminars, and grows plants to make into artisanal hashish, let's them grow a very long time as he wants the heavy weight of building trichomes to make more hash.
