Also prepare for the " FLOP " when they get even fatter.......

Definitely go by the mantra ..... " they are done when they are done. "

Classic noob mistake is harvesting too early , just let her do her thing.
Sometimes in late flower , even more pheno ( traits ) express , Purpling , TERPY profiles , more " RIPE " bud.

It's all good so far just stay the course ... No experiments

Keep posting

I use 1/8" single strand steel wire to do the "tie up" when the buds get to heavy for the stalk to support. I have many eyelets screwed in the ceiling and I cut the wire at the correct length and put a hook on both ends. One hook goes to the eyelet and the other to the branch that requires support. I place something like a piece of cigarette package cardboard cut to the appropriate size, between the stem and the wire to avoid any damage to the stalk. I hang these cut pieces of 1/8" steel wire on a hook in the grow room wall for when needed. The 1/8" steel wire I use is made for tying rebar in concrete forms. It comes in a roll at any hardware store that sells stuff for concrete construction, which most do. I get it for free at the job site.

Damn bro, those bitches look fried. I can't really tell to clearly from my phone but they look pretty close to being ready to get hamstrung. All the pistols are red from what I can see and generally when I give em the chop ive still got about a third in transition with the trichomes transitioning to amber.

How are the calyxes looking?
Do they look swollen as they should?
Have you grown before and know what you're looking for?

Do you have a jewelers loop by chance or a 420 scope?
Many growers choose to cut based on the majority state of their trichomestrichomes.

Wth happened? Last Wednesday the pictures look great, what did you change, start or stop feeding or doing?

The only time I've seen anything like it and that fast in soil was a couple years ago when I broke my leg but had to get in to feed my drying out plants so I just poured tap water straight out the faucet in and that's what they looked like a few days later, any chance you had a pH mistake ?

I would *chop those now and trim the dead off before it becomes an even larger necrotic mass, you might be able to save a fair amount of bud at this point
-good luck

*not about flush/don't flush, my feeling is save the bud ASAP
