Nice pics showing how buds plump up

Here are pics that show how buds can continue to swell in the last couple weeks! This is why it's good to watch for new pistil activity in addition to watching trics:

As the first pistils to appear start to turn brown, one may start looking at trics and wonder if they're ready. Gotta really watch for new activity though. These buds are still popping! Leaves are curling pretty badly, part genetics part low humidity. And she's dying. It's about them buds now.

Yeah I know. There aren't even any real buds until about 7 weeks, so obviously they'll need at least 3 more to reach full density. I don't even watch trichs. I just give them 10 weeks and wack em. Got better things to do than inspect trichs. Granted I could probably give em another week but they do look pretty close to senescence at 10 and the product is sufficiently dense and potent at that point. How many weeks are the plants shown in the images? My guess is about 9. The 10th week is when they fatten up.

Nailed it Bob, 9 weeks. Neville's Haze with a faster finishing silver so maybe a few weeks left. This grow is where it really hit me to look at the plant, I can't agree more on not wasting time
