Well not the biggest but im a proud dad anyways,lol. got this as a clone 20th dec 2011 itwas a foot high, gave it blood and bone(cheap warehouse stuff,)then forced flower 12/12 for about 1 month then keept her outside all the time, I know i didnt do the normal thing as it is my first, having said that shes done well, no bud rot or illness, i trimed the bigger leaves and have inspected the trichomes with a 20x magnifaying glass(I need a 40x or 60x i reacon)and they arent totaly clear but not totaly creamy, the point to all this is should i chuck it in the dark for 48 hours then dry ?or wait a bit?
thanks
happy toking.:joint::clap:

the fan leaves would have released stored energy into the buds, helping them finish up

you can always wait a little longer! but i guess now that youve chopped them off youd probably wanna harvest soon. Id do the 48 hours dark trick just for the hell of it, cant hurt!

Still looks awesome though

no, you can still water it up till when you chop it imo.. some people will say cut back on the nutes the last week or so and others like myself think it's fine to feed up till the chop, but you always want to keep watering it regardless of your opinion on flushing..

Can't remember if tip-yellowing is nute burn or a deficiency sorry D:!
But don't feel bad about chopping one plant. It's better you learned on one than a crop ;)

10days to go in my opinion. Hard to tell though without a scope on the trichs.

i wouldn't fret too much about those leaves honestly.. it's natural for the leaves to yellow at the end of the grow like that, same as trees in the fall time...
some plants will go super yellow early in flower, that tends to be from lack of nitrogen, and i would worry more about that .....

but yah, they look ok to me, just take them til you're happy they're done...

there's a rule of thumb that i really like when it comes to harvesting.. it goes... when you think that they're done, give them another week.. never let me down yet.. :)
