I decided to resist the urge to crop today. Yes, I'm seeing some amber up top, but the plants themselves are still looking a bit too lush for my liking, and they're still drinking quite a lot, which suggests they're still metabolizing strongly. Mids also still have a good bit of twinkle to them when I put the flashlight on them, which suggests a fair bit of unripe heads. I just think back to this video I watched a while

Not too sure what he was saying and I can't listen to it again. I'm pretty sure he said trich color don't mean shit, harvest when the bud is ripe. I agree.

Yeah basically he says the trich color is mostly determined by the light intensity and the effect of light on the resin, not the actual state of plant ripeness. Then says in his opinion a plant is truely ripe when the plants metabolism slows down and the trichome stalk starts to narrow where it meets the glandular head.
I have to say I'm leaning this way myself, these plants look almost done but they don't look done to me just yet. Taking them to the end of week 10, early week 11 I think.

One of the most common mistakes I see imo is newbies with scopes. My advice is always to toss the scope and harvest when the bud is ripe.

i find in rdwc water consumption drops dramatically before harvest

Sickest Keb Block drift @tobh you've seen this?
yeah, that old fuck has the balls of a fuckin bison man. it's one thing to drift, anyone can do that. it's a whole other thing to drift a 1000hp AWD car. the whole gymkhana series is excellent.

Yeah in the pics the buds look done, I can't argue there. Especially the tops. But up close in person, the buds actually look like they could still go a while yet. I had a better look around in there this morning and to me, it's just not quite there. Close, but not quite.

Could that have something to do with the kool bloom?
Maybe, maybe not. That was almost 2 weeks ago I used that and I didn't use a whole lot. The last week of feeding was around 250ppm and the last 9 days of flush have gone from100ppm with the flawless finish to 0 ppm for the last 6 or 7 days.

It's close. It's really close. But I feel that I'd be jumping the gun a bit to call it just yet. They won't go overripe on me overnight, I know I've got some time before any risk of taking them too far. And I've reduced light a lot which should help slow down the progression of ambering of the trichs.

Gonna just hold the course...

I often advise people that when they think the plant is done, give it another week. Following my own advice here.

where are the sub titles when you need them?
If you listen to him enough eventually you understand what he's saying. Takes a while to interpret the accent.

So instead of chopping today, I'm having a hot fuckin bath hahaha. Pulled a muscle in my upper back a few days ago and it's still stiff as fuk. But first, I've got to get all these huevos diablos into my gut. The wife is gonna love me tonight! One of lifes small thrills.. giving myself mad gas to humor myself with later.

That'll be in my lineup of party tricks for sure. Probably send a little air mail too, maybe go for a ride in the car and lock the windows. Fun stuff.
There was 2 radio DJ in my area when depends first came out. There two strolled into a busy MacDonald with like 8 people in 9 lines deep with their depends on and just let it roll right there in the line. I would just love to have done that one. I think my favorite, but never tried is an upper decker. I understand you drop a deuce in the upper water storage portion of a toilet and it just smells like shit permanently. Always wanted to try that one.
