Oh I will they are fattening right up and are really dense every bud on the thing are 2g dried plus the smallest possiable bud I see is atleast a 1g bud dried im going to be doing a harvest video soon I think but ill try to get a couple new pics. I might even add some more side lighting im figuring 3 more 23w cfls and that would be the perfect amount I would have 3 on each side and one 65w cfl above that would really improve the yield next time.

I also noticed more hairs turning orange and ive also topped off the pot with some more soil an have been giving it straight water the past week don't really know if I should be flushing yet I mean I figured where as the nutes had been mixed strong started to burn it alil I should just use straight water anyways.

so at this point do I still need nutes or not will my yield be effected even though they are almost ripe or will the buds get bigger on there own with just normal watering. im hoping the last week they pack on some more weight

ya not the 1lb jaw dropper harvest I was hoping for. im thinking more like a half oz dry and that's pushing it the hairs are really starting to turn red its almost there. im thinking ima start flushing no more nutes just straight water. idk I picked a sample bud 2 days ago and it still was fairly moist last night im thinking the soil might be alil too wet so I should not risk bud rot and just let it dry out idk its hard to say I mean I don't really know how much water a plant that size uses. I do see plenty of crystals on the bud that's drying but im pretty sure its no haze I tried a lil tiny piece yesterday and it was still haesh moist and cloraphil tasting and dident really give me much of anything sept a slight head buzz. So I know I need to wait. ive seen this many times where a guy will have even kush or sour and it will be really fresh and he will try to sell it and you don't even get high you get some smell and kinda good taste but hardly any buzz. Im 100% sure that if I dry for a few and cure the buds for a few days like normal and just wait ill have some good stuff. ive always herd mostly from oldtimers that the thc in a bud needs time to become active thc so if you try to smoke a fresh bud nothing has broke down yet.

Yea i would definitely wait until the hairs start to recede bro, if you haven't picked it yet. You surely looked like you were on to something, but Patience is definitely a virtue, sometimes you just have to wait, but you leave and learn from every experience. If you learn to get better at mastering something, at least one thing from every grow, each time it becomes more natural. For instance, drying properly, curing. You will definitely get a much better yield harvesting at the proper time, you harvest too early, something you think looked great, really will be mostly mediocre, you can achieve awesome results on nearly any strain if you pick when there ripe and dry properly and cure.
