So I have a little bagseed plant that was pretty much done flowering. I have been flushing it with straight water for the last 3 waterings (about 12 days) and it has dropped all major fan leaves due to some intense heat that I had recently. I was really just waiting for the soil to dry out one more time and I was going to harvest. I only have a magnifying glass right now and can't see the trichs very well but a good 70%-80% of the calyxes were amber. I'm guessing I had some kind of light leak one night because recently I started noticing new white calyxes on the buds. Little "bud fingers" are growing up out of the buds now with bright white calyxes. The buds seem to be putting on more resin too, which is nice. I don't really know what I should do from here though. Since the original buds are ready, do I need to harvest them? Or do I need to let the new buds finish? I fear harvesting now can cause me to have green tasting weed, but because the plant hardly has any leaf matter at all (it really looks like some trimmed bud already) I feel like it needs to come down or it's just going to start dying and the buds are going to degrade. I recently ordered a pocket microscope and the decision will probably come down to what the trichs say, but I would like to hear personal opinions and reasons from other growers as well.
