Dude those are some badass buds. Pat yourself on the bag and start planning for your next grow. Cant wait to see that shit jarred.
Thanks buddy!! Im pretty proud of myself. I can't wait to see it jarred too. Do you think they look ready to chop?

The colas still seem to be bulking nicely! Pistils are still pretty white which usually means the bud is still bulking and growing. Fucker looks all horned out, the density looks fantastic. I can't see it from your perspective to gauge the trichs but I will tell you that I'd be chopping a couple side branches off to trim and dry for an appetizer in a few days :bigjoint:

Peep the buds with the more red hairs and check the trichs. Those would be good candidates for a taste test :D Chop a branch that looks riper(er), trim it and dry it. I'm fuckin stoked about how nice those look. That is one badass first grow fo sho.

EDIT

After looking at your pics again it looks like one might be riper than the other. Does that sound right?

Yeah that one cola is getting bigger by the day hah. The trichs are real milky from what I can see. I'll definitely take your advice and chop a little for a taste test. I'm really happy with the results especially with how fucked my ph was. Thanks for all the help!

Yeah the slimmer plant seems to be a lot riper.

Schwag, when should I stop giving them nutes? I was reading that some people don't flush when using organic nutes, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not.

I don't usually flush. I'm flushing for the first time right now and I must say I won't be doing it again. Some people flush for 3-7 days and as many as 10 in some cases. I overdid it and went about 10 days and the plants are looking pretty sick with about 4-5 days left on them. Really a matter of preference and opinion although some people say that science supports a flush.

Cool maybe I'll just give them a short flush.

Im thinking a week at most and they'll be ready. The pistils on the top buds are finally starting to turn orange
 
Your gunna want to flush them with 10 gallons per plant over a week. Purge them of all the nutrients in their system in order to bring out the full flavor and color, this should only be done right before harvest after they have finished their bulk. They arnt going to get smaller lol. When you think they are finished wait a few days to gauge how they are really doing. I always do it by calendar till the end then I go to checking each plant everyday in order to get the desired smoke effect ie. Longer = KO smoke while Shorter = UP smoke. FYI the hairs will turn red with the flush so check those resin glands for the real timing.

Cal mag is a must none of your FF products have it as far as my knowledge, look into molasses for the week flush also but might be to late for that.

And Flushing is a MUST think about all those salts built up in the soil wash em.

Not an expert just my experiences

I'm actually using the general organics biothrive line with the addition of big bloom. The biothrive line includes CaMg+. And there isn't much salt build up since everything I use is organic. I stayed away from fox farm because grow big and tiger bloom are synthetic.

Hahah thanks man, ya he was pretty surprised at how much they produced. You were definitely right when you said they would pass up the mother. I can't wait for the next grow!

Pretty good smoke imo. Especially with only two days in the jar. Not exactly the grapefruit/citrus taste I was hoping for but I'm still extremely happy with the results.

The flavor and odor will get better ever day. Burp those jars every day for about 15-20 minutes if you can in a low humidity area. Gonna stank it up but it will keep getting better :D

Sounds good. Ill do exactly that. I've been burping them for a few hours everyday, I'll cut it down to less time

The odor is extremely powerful now. Its almost like a lemon-lime fuel smell. Thanks for all the help schwag, wish I could smoke some with you.
