No, no, no. Dont chop yet. The pistils will curl back, and the calyxs will swell. At least a couple weeks. Be patient man. You won't regret it.

I know you're right, I'm just anxious. Thank you. I'll wait.

We all are anxious our first grows. Thankfully the good folks here saved me from chopping too soon. I would have never known what I was missing. They really fatten up at the end if you let them. Nice job so far though. Keep it up.

Give it whatever it needs, def a huge difference when your fully grown buds blow away all the short flowered stuff everybody tends to grow when growing for profit

There's a lot of debate on that topic. Are you in soil, and what are the nutes you're feeding? I'm growing in living organic soil, so I don't worry about flushing.

Sorry, details would help. Yes, they are in soil. I've been using the Fox Farms trio plus Liquid Karma and some molasses. I was using CalMag but stopped because I didn't need more nitrogen.

Cal-mag doesn't have N in it as far as I know. But if you're in FFOF, that has quite a bit of N. I'm not a fan off Fox Farms nutes except Big Bloom, but I'm keeping it organic. I'm still using my original FFOF, but it's been amended with a bunch of stuff since, and been turned into a living soil.

Thank you! I did a ton of research and had help from an experienced friend. I can't wait to see how much these 4 ladies yield.

I would have chopped my black widow a month early on my first crop. I was convinced it was done but decided to ask. So glad I waited.

some of them out there are actually pretty high in N, calimagic is used so much in hydro because its one of the lowest available N.

I have Botanicare's Cal-Mag Plus. It's 2% N (2-0-0).

Ok, that makes sense. Mine doesn't have any N. I have been using epsom salt though when I need Mg anymore. My water has plenty of Ca. Good to know.

Great looking buds, I can see why youre anxious to chop it!
Weeks to go though.
I think you'll be pretty happy with the outcome of your first yield as long as you arent expecting to pull a pound per plant or something.
3-4 weeks, nice job
Run a pool test on your water you maybe surprised how much Ca you are getting. Anyway you are right LOL

Thanks, I'll try to stay patient. When I started I was hoping to get a gram-per-watt. I thought that was just me dreaming, but it looks like I might get close. I'm using a Mars Hydro TS 3000, 450 watts.
