I'm on week 9 in flower, and it seems like there shrinking. Might sound off but me and the wife noticed it. This its my first grow so I'm not sure what to expect. Should i cut them down?? I'll try and upload pics!
I have never seen buds actually shrink persay... maybe they are just tightening up? did you feed them anything different? since you are on week 9, are you flushing at this time? whats the details!
what strain are you running? Its possible your girls are done as a lot of strains run about 8 weeks. You need to run to your local RadioShack and pick up a 60-100x illuminated microscope. Cut off a sample leaf and put it under the scope to check out the trichomes. I prefer to have about 80% milk 20% clear when i chop them down. If you go to the harvesting/curing section, you can find more information on trichomes and such
Still same feeding schedule, they could be densing up. I have 2 blue dreams, and Cali connection headband. The trichs look milky but i only have a 2x scope. I'll be sure to run down there tomorrow and grab a good micro scope
