Okay, I've been growing for 16 years and have been in hydro for 5 years. Just to let you know my background.
I have always read about individuals being aggressive about cutting fan leaves and the big debate on pro/cons of doing it. I have a step father that swears by it and has always aggressively cut them due to growing monster in a small area.
So after how many years, I decided to hack off the fan leaves on, Da purps or The Purps (don't know if their the same or not). Genetics are top line from the Triangle and this individual doesn't supply many patients.
For me, I don't go by how many weeks but rather trichomes and atleast 25% amber. I swear to you I have about 15% amber and rest cloudy now and I want to say its only been 6 weeks (based on memory but no way in HELL 8 weeks for sure I don't think even 7 weeks)! There are alot of top colas due to toping them off but based on the bud thickness 2-3 inches width (2.5 average) they look like A$$! I never post but this is making no sense. It seems like I just be at my final two weeks before an explosion on weight comes on.
Again Trichomes are 15% amber and maybe 25% after one more day. Any thoughts? Would like more weight added on and may wait two more days for a 50% amber which I never do.
Did I stress the plant since I hacked all the fan leaves all at once causing it to mature faster? (I never read that but I'm just throwing any ideas out there). This was atleast during the 3rd week of bloom. I've never grown this strain but I do have another tray not touched (fan leaves) and will leave the fan leaves on them unless powdery mildew is a problem and circulation is needed.
PLEASE give me any ideas of your own, links to others, or opinions. This is making me trip out. Yeah its great but there is no weight!
