Bud grow status, pics

[Gee]

So, I have sativa strain called pineapple upside down cake that was an accidental reveg, and I thought is was a goner, but it grew nicely. Only 3.5 feet tall.

I don’t keep track on my calendar when the flower started, but it’s been a little over a month. The plant looks like pistils are saying to harvest soon but it’s still early and the buds, although beautiful, are only the girth of a small banana at their largest.

Am I getting too anxious? Lol.

Do you think I’m on track for more growth?

ALSO, just began to hit it with P and K along with Growilla Bud by Botanicare at 1/4 every 10 days. Don’t wanna go everboard.

Do you have a loupe or something to look at the trichomes? She is looking somewhat mature alright, but 5 weeks for a sativa dominant plant says otherwise.

 

[Gee]

Need I loupe I know.... Amazon here I come

Good ol 'Zon.

How much magnification would you suggest? ALSO, if lower buds aren’t quite ready can I only harvest the ones ready and let the remaining mature, OR will something like that shock the plant? Ty

Anything between 30x and 60x would be great, more powerful is almost too much sometimes I find. Yes partial harvest is an option for sure I've done it a couple times, and came back a week later for the rest..

Loupe on order

Cell phone camera works if I could only be still enough....

Looks like a lot of white and straight pistils to me, based on that I would say you have at least two weeks left, but a loupe is better way to tell when ready.

 

[Gee]

Got the loupe. Hard to keep a steady hand on a plant w protruding leaves. Top bud sugar leaves 50/50 amber/cloudy. Below that all cloudy..

 

[Gee]

So, if the top few sugar leaves have a lot of Amber, and in the sun the leaf almost looks yellowing against the green of the leaf, but the rest is clear or cloudy, leave it a few more weeks?
