Light left on week 10 of flower!

Oh wow, thanks for that. The only 3 reasons I pulled was because 50% of pistils turned brown, I started to see amber and I was looking for the opposite of couchlock effect (based on what I read is it has to be harvested on the early end).
I will follow your guide on this one.
Also, will the branch break from the weight? Should I tie it?

Amber trichomes can be spotted early for multiple reasons. They amber first on sugar leaves before they do on the calyx. Also they can amber from physical damage. I don't even bother checking them to harvest TBH.

The effect your weed has will be dependent on what strain not when you harvest.

Heavy buds can snap branches not strong enough to support them. If they start to flop or you fear they may break you can tie them up. String, plant yoyos, etc.

Yeah to be fair they went almost another week on that grow but had to cut a little early because of early onset bud rot

Well I guess in real terms they were around 16 weeks or so including veg time.

people need to realise something though.

as you gain knowledge on ripeness, you lose the need or desire to count the weeks of flower.

Fertilizer goes straight to the buds

but I hear you can flush it out with 30 gallons of water over 3 weeks time

@Brettman
Oh shit...you brought a 1.5 year old thread back to life for a mildly entertaining (at best) joke. Okay. Fair enough.

Yeah I seen he made the same comment on another thread today so I searched this one. I’m a very sad lonely individual

Well here we are 16 months later and I still haven’t got a plant to the finish line with this method. I’m starting to wonder if the $600 a month water bills are even worth it…
