We are only trying to help you I swear...but those buds even with recent pics is no where near done. You must be checking the trichomes from the leaves and not the calyx itself. It's very premature.

Well F&*k, no where did it say check calyx!!! As the post says I’m clueless. I’m glad for all the help

This is a common mistake...and probably why so many people harvest early.

The trichomes on the leaves do mature much faster and when they look "ready" , where you are actually suppose to check will still be clear.

This is why I dont even use the scope anymore. After yrs and yrs of doing it you get to tho point you can see the bud and know.

There is still much swelling and maturing for your buds to go through. Growing is a thing of patience

Thanks all, did a new review and the calyx has mostly clear now back to the bud worms, will dr jacks dead bug work?

You want BTK for budworms or cattarpillars.

It's all good :) Just giving you shit lol! I'm an old cranky hippie. Have patience with me lol. Ok so here's the thing. Best thing that I can tell you is growing weed is like... weird. It's a journey. Everyone takes a different path to end at the same destination... budzzzz. REALLY REALLY REALLY good bud. But there is "magic" in the grow. They aren't like any other plants and believe this... I've got a GARDEN full of veggies, melons, bonsai, etc. They way they grow and what they do is nothing less than spectacular. The amount of abuse they will endure compared to other plants is insane. FIM, Supercropping, LST, Bonsai, Defoliation all works to make a better bud if used correctly. Grow methods? Play with all of them lol :) You'll find your groove. But the bud? Never harvest the bud early. When you see what it looks like when its REALLY done the first time? You'll always know. It's a bitch to wait. But WELL worth it. Me? Most of the time I hold them past what most due. I want A LOT of amber... couch glue and the majority of my pistels faded with no real new flowering.

Cut a trash bag until it is flat. Then cut a single slit so that you can slide it around the trunk and tape the seam shut with wide packing tape. Then take a sprayer full of RO water and start at the top washing down quickly & completely. The idea is to keep the stuff out of the root system, you may want to take a towel and place on the plastic to that it soaks up the runoff before it can get away.

Try and not let the dissolved powder sit on the leaves any longer than required, you don't want to create a paste or leave a heavy residue. That would be very, very bad.

Good Luck & Happy Growing

Bro... tell me you have more seeds, have cloned that plant, etc? Won't make fun of you, but I definitely wouldn't recommend smoking Cpt Jacks Dead Bug Dust or whatever. Ouch that sucks. Clone and compost especially if its in your icky sticky. Try Ansel's thing first.

The bite marks look like thrips have had a feed, with only two weeks to go I would leave any powders or sprays, more hassle than cure. If your plant was mine I wouldn't be that worried, just keep blowing off as may thrips as you can you can see for the next two weeks and see how you go.

Ansel,
Took you advice and rinsed well... the buds are still swelling... I guess I’ll find out the damage done after the cure?

should I try to rinse the buds after harvest as someone suggested?

good news is that I have 3 more plants in the pipeline that just started floweringl
