Few pics here to support my findings. I'm following the trichomes as best I can without getting my microscope too sticky.
Majority of pistles have browned off but there are still fresh white ones coming through. Does this serve as a solid indicator by itself?
I've not seen any trichomes begin to get cloudy and there are sure as hell no amber ones in there.
I'm week 8 now and it's just kinda struck me as a bit strange, the plant has almost stalled in growth for the last 2 weeks.
I will continue anyway for at least 2 if not 3 more weeks here. Looking for a second or 3rd opinion...
Cheers ladssss

Stop the pk boost and lower your feeding and run another week and check again.
Ok, you think that the extra PK is killing off the pistles a bit quicker than normal?
She's a 30gal Res which I just diluted a bit so that will achieve your advice anyway.

It can do yes, some strains will just keep firing out fresh pistils also. Go by trichomes not pistils they are just an early indicator at best to let you know harvest is close.
