Here'r some Week 10 Pics, there seem to be minute signs of swelling on the top of the main cola, but most of the buds are still growing. Trichs are still clear-cloudy

Main cola:

I would say around 1 week start flushing and after a week of clean water reduce amount of water for another week or until you have 40-50% amber then chop down if your wanting a more Head than Body stone. Right now just by your pics your around 10-15% amber. This reduction of water right before pick forces the plant to try and retain the water it has and this equals more resin on leaves and buds. This trick was shown to me by an ol'timer that taught botany in college years back.

looks good, still has a ways to go still though, just how long exactly is hard to say though, im thinking maybe bout another month or so, but thats just a very rough guess.

That's a little steep...

2 weeks max then flush for a week max.

My plans as of now are to see how it looks at 12 weeks, and if its ripe enough, probably flush for week 13. I finally spotted the first amber trichs on the main cola. The majority of the plant still has clear and cloudy heads though.

I'll post some pics at 11 weeks tomorrow.

they dont look ready yet.. if you dont have access to a strong magnifying glass to check the trichromes, jus look at the hairs of the top canopy buds and when theyre just about all changed from white to orange gold they should be ready for their last week of growth in which you should flush them using only purified water w/ no nutrients

yeah i have a 60x-100x micro, top hairs are all brown on main cola, not on the larger "side cola" though, I'd say about 5%-10% of trichs have amber heads.

How should I Proceed?
I was hoping to be able to flush tomorrow, but I'm thinking it might need to go another week or so on nuts.
The main cola is looking about ready, but the rest of her looks like she could use another week or 2.
Tomorrow will be 12 weeks (84 days). Here are some current pics:

Main Cola:



2nd most dominant branch:



A few calyxes seem to be changing to a reddish/purple color, could this be due to nutrient deficiency? :


More visible w/ Flash:


Under Shots:







Some Buds on another girl I've got going behind her 8 weeks I think:

Yeah, I'm not worried about her yet, I know shes still got some time, just though it post some pics while I was at it.
any thoughts on the other?

Looks like u might need to harvest a lil bit at time. The main cola and some of the side branches look ready so i would take that off but let the rest go till it's ready.
