What do you see , cloudy or clear?

What do you see ? Cloudy or clear? These plants Are way past the 8 weeks said to be ripe . Easily 12 weeks in flowering

Maybe a little of both. They look out of focus a little, which can make them look cloudier than they are. Are those trichomes from a calyx or leaf? Throw up a pic of the plant(s) too.

@SheeshM I cut a piece of the actually bud , the tip of one actually , biggish piece . I put a pick of the bud I chopped so you can see what I used under the scope .

They dont look healthy or happy, after 12 weeks id cut them and be done with it. No point reading trikes on that they will only tell you that unhappy plants dont mature very well.

@2Hearts well I was gonna chop em two weeks ago but I said I’d wait a week and they are only getting fatter?

Your starting to hit the lengths long flowering sats take. The plant looks frazzled, badly coloured up and its obvious why she is acting the way she is.

Tough call.

@2Hearts agreed. I know they’re biggest issue is heat stress . Tent is 75-80 degrees f .

Cannabis loves those air temperatures but failure to get watering ferts etc etc spot on results in less than peak performance and it seems like heat but its not.

I dont see heat stress in your plants.

Thats a lot of bud though and should get you pretty high and you can start more plants flowering so these hicups are nothing to dwell on.

@2Hearts this is my third harvest. I seem to run into same issues and don’t know why. Always late in flowering. Could this be why...vegged under 400MH and flowered in two 250watt LED COB lights ?

with this question do you believe plants yieldMore under HPS? (I find stems are fatter when I had them under HPS for flower)

I dont think lights an issue, flowering isnt any different to veg for me just bigger plants can be problematic, easy to overwater in big pots and generally require a bit more attention.

Sure things will improve over time just keep it as simple as possible and whats wrong will show. A lot is down to watering though, many find that the breakthrough, happy roots happy plants.

2hearts has you covered. IMO, the buds are close but could fatten a bit more if the plants were healthier. I'm no pro and have struggled with yellowing late in flower but my yellowing is on the fan leaves. Your fans and sugar leaves look sort of yellow and burnt so it may be time to chop soon. Maybe you'll get another opinion or two now that you've posted plant photos. Good luck, I think you'll end up with a decent harvest and you'll improve next run.

They look ready to me, to be honest you probably left them a week or two too long but that's not a big problem, it's just that the thc levels start to drop off after a certain time. i would harvest those plants right now if i were you
