Purple... Northern Lights?

This is my first grow and was a random bagseed until about 2 weeks ago and I noticed the leaves turning purple. Then I realized it was northern lights. I am on day 57 and on my second flush. The buds just started swelling up and all trichs are still cloudy and have been cloudy for a month now. I would like to have 30% amber. So should I keep going or chop soon? I was planning on leaving her in the dark Wednesday or Thursday then chop Friday or Saturday. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Did somebody tell you its northern lights or are you assuming based on the color change? Many strains go purple late in flower I can name at least 10 I've grown myself. Sorry if I deflated your optimism but it looks fabulous anyways and that's s solid effort for a first grow. Well done!!!!

I'm going off of what I have read with other people growing northern lights with the way the leaves look and how they clawed and came out crazy looking. It looks exactly like another nl #5 plant I have seen bit all the NL #5 I have seen were autoflowers. I'm 90% sure it's NL but I could be wrong. It looks like nirvanas northern light #5.

Hate to tell you MANY strains do the fall color thing.

If they are at the trich level you are looking for then .... cut when you like.

They are not at the trich level I want but I have seen a lot of posts where ppl gave been growing for 15 weeks and they still never turned amber.

Let me see if I can find the forum where someone was talking about how his leaves were looking. My plant was doing the same so I figured it was NL.

looks different to the northern lights i use to grow for yrs back but looks good regardless

Here is that post of what they are talking about. https://www.rollitup.org/t/purple-northern-lights.288913/

Anyone have any thoughts of what it could be if it's not NL?

A beautiful plant.

Thanks. I would love to know with 100% certainty of what it is.

Will the buds fatten up more? Or is it finished? When I flushed the first time I used a gallon of molasses and I think that's what made them fatten up. This flush I only used water.

It grew really well considering it was a hermie.
