All ladies are different and if you are like me always waiting on them you are making it the hardest thing to do in growing is waiting for your ladies you wait for them to pop and then we train them and then we wait for the flowers to start and when they do they teach us the biggest thing of all patience as always thank you for your time and the opportunity to learn more about growing
Thanks Jeff. I think i still have at least a week by looks of it, I've been checking them every 3 days to see if any changes but I see most change in the largest main bud tbh

Thanks for the reply, I have some lower buds that really aren't as far on as the higher parts, most likely they will not be so good, I think next time I will chop off the little stuff.
So if your looking for a good signal of when to stop feeding nutrients, you could wait till the pistils show signs of going orange and retracting and then stop nutrients..
So you know for next time you can de Fol that area of plant and those budlets that are a waste will end up on the higher buds .

I was thinking that tbh, just cut off all those lower ones and have the bigger colas. This is just one of many lessons learned during this first grow but ones I wont forget as I want to maximise what I do, I also won't do 6 plants in 2x4 again, 3 or 4 max and give them more room to grow, probably will get more and better quality this way I reckon , plus its a pain to do that many in such a small place, all lessons learned though.
Thanks for your advice, it has been much appreciated

I just done 4 last night, what a mess giving them a little trim lol
2 left growing but they were being blocked out by the other 4 so they are not as far on, they now have it all to them selves and I'm hoping they finish off stronger for it,
Also I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for your advice through this, you guys have been a big help, sorry if I got a little needy at one point, I figured out the problem though, those 2 plants that were fading,
they were starting to finish up, I just gave them one last feed that would help out with stress and make soil less compact, and then water from then on, 3 weeks they had with only water, so wasn't a bad call, I could of got an extra week out of it but by the time I realised what was going on, it was better to just finish off as it was knowing it was close to the end now
I had at least 5% amber but more like 10% amber and the rest were cloudy or just about all of them were. The last 2 still looked about 2weeks off tbh
Once again, thank you,

Just a little advice for people using led, those things are so bright that you need to turn them down or use different lighting to check the trichomes, once I pulled mine out and had a look under normal light, I realised they were further on than they looked under the grow light,

Nope thank you for the opportunity to learn more about growing and if you can share what you have learned with someone else that would be greatly appreciated as always thank you for your time and the best of luck in all of your endeavors

Well I'm very happy with the result, not bad for first time, the first 4 plants gave me 9oz and just waiting on the last 2 plants drying and will have final amount, that will keep me going a good while regardless,
Il post picture of final result, they look like there covered in glass, these LED I got certainly lived upto expectations. I didn't have the door closed on tent when lights were on at all in flower either

Check them out, spiderfarmer their called, got all the stuff the more expensive stuff use but for a fraction of the price..
