thats what I'm saying. I'm taking everyones advice here into consideration, I have to harvest here in two weeks regardless of whether they are done or not due to a "time crunch" I can't get around. The pics I posted on this post were from the start of week 11, and here it is almost a week later, I think in a week and a half or two weeks they will be perfect. I've been checking trics everyday, and still no amber trics but the flowers are really extending and almost growing out from the bud and swelling. The hairs are about 50% light orange on them and about 30% totalliy white no brown or orange and the rest half white and orange/brown. I have got the lights down to 11on/13off, and will be at 10/14 in a day or so. I have also moved the light up by an inch or two, in theory simulating more of a 'winter'rs peak', but not too much to affect trichome production for I have read a theory for the production of trichomes is to protect the bud from the suns strong rays because the shiny reflection and some other stuff.... puff puff pufff lol, but it was an interesting thought. I use the term winter's peak to mean the shortest and coldest wintery day. The plan is to slowly move towards this shortest day by controlling my grow environment, by slowly starving the plant of light and water attempting to make it more cold and miserable haha. I had flushed for weeks 8-10 and then I gave it a little nute boost 2 days ago in my last watering, and I have a few more waterings left and will be plain water from here on out. I plan on shortening the days by half an hour each day until I feel they are ready for two day dark period and then a drown and then back into dark for 6 hours then will harvest. I am not going to do a full water cure I'll just do a soak to clean the bud with luke warm water then a regular hang dry and jar cure.
