Oh boy, it's gonna be exciting soon - the suspense is killing me, Mr. K!

that some phenos never fully lose the white pistils, either, so maybe this is one of them?
Quix, yeah, trichs are about 25% amber now. I was shooting for 50% but I've also read that this strain should be harvested a little early, when the trichs first start to turn amber. It's all those damn white pistils that have me stressing about harvesting too early, but I also remember some advice from Brother Blue
Hey Bro as you know I just went through the "chop/no chop" decision a few weeks back. IMHO, after all the research I did as a noob/rook it came down to knowing my grow was ready. For me the hard part to pulling the trigger was the trich's not being quite amber enough, 90% cloudy with bending heads and 50% amber, 90% pistils brown but not withdrawn 100%, and time available to harvest properly.
The final decision was made by just simple observation of the plants overall demeanor. I can't explain it in detail or in anyway that may help you, but I just knew, they were telling me "hey you, were done", "we fought the good fight and were ready to rest". And in the final analysis you know your grow better than anyone and have done an excellent job overcoming the challenges.
Well said....
For sure brother, I'm no expert on the purple strains, but if you have SOME info, its better than NO info, which is where Im at with the PE,....Kinda hard to tell without it being outside with no cold temps (which is what turns it purps if I remember correctly)...I also noticed a tiny bit o fox tailing in those last pics, which doesnt tell me much cuz Im a noob, But I DO know that mine were close to harvest when they started to foxtail.....Sh!t man I dont know....
Only one way to find out!!! Chop some now, and chop spme later!!!

Quix, that's exactly what I'm doing. I vaped that sample this morning and was not in any way disappointed. I'm gonna start sampling every few days and chop when she's peaked.
You've got a good eye! There's a LOT of foxtailing going on now and that usually happens very late in bloom, so it is a sign she should be ready soon!
BTW...the plant that's about ready for harvest is a Royal Haze and the PE just started flower. I don't believe either one is considered a "purple strain" but I could be wrong. It is cold that effects the color change, but there's also a product called "Purple Maxx" that can help this happen.
Yo, mr. Krip, long time no talk, how have you been brother? I apologise for not being more active in the community lately. I have no excuse other than I was being a lazy jerk only commenting on my own journal and that is pretty lame and selfish of me, so I wanted to get back at ya and say hi how ya doing. Are you still growing in that box or have you been able to expand the set up? I'll be expanding my entire set up to an entire bedroom once my room mate moves out towards the end of july and i'm about to flip two four 18 inch tall bushie girls to bloom today! Woo! Will post a picture update soon, can't wait to hear back from you my friend.
