On the plus side everything is looking very plump and tasty.
My buddy tells me I've been counting my weeks wrong (I know indoor finish times won't be the same as outdoor but I use them as a gauge of when to start checking tricoms closely) I've been counting from when pistils show. He said he counts from when he flips the lights. So he says I'm probably 2 weeks closer to harvest than I thought.
I'm not sure though. Would love some opinions on this. Here are some bud shots.
OG kush. My buddy said he runs this plant for 10 weeks from the flip to 12/12. I was planning 3-4 more weeks on these. The second shot is the plants that get less sun. They're less plump by a little bit. Trics on these are mostly cloudy/milky white, a few clear, and a few amber on the sugar leaves. Still mostly white pistils with some brown.
White widow. Supposed to be a 10 week strain. I was planning 3-4 more weeks on these as well. Trics on these are mostly cloudy/milky white, with a few amber out on the sugar leaves. Maybe 50/50 white and brown pistils. Buds are plump and very firm.
Blackberry kush. I was told she looks done at 8 weeks but to take her to 9 for more potency. I was planning 2-3 weeks more on these but they look close. Looking very plump IMO. Trics are all cloudy/white with a bit of amber here and there maybe. Pistils are receding, with very few white pistils left. Buds feel very firm.
This last shot is one of my reveged blackberry kush. The buds are smaller but they look slight farther along that the others. Maybe 1-2 more weeks?
I'm looking at sunny weather the rest of the week so if I can get these bitches dry without mold I plan to let them ride as long as they need. I chickened out at the first sign of rain last year in mid October and I ended up with a lot of fluffy buds. Mostly the lower stuff. I want some big hard ripe nugs this year so I plan to pull the tops and let the lowers ride it out for 2 extra weeks or so.
Any opinions on when to pull are welcome.
