I would wait but really gotta try to get a clearer/closer pic of the trich heads to tell.
Thanks, it was not an easy, but definitely a nice experience .They look good and cloudy now. If it was me i'd wait another week and check. I try to shoot for 30% Amber trics. They look really good though, good job!
Definitely harder than it looks for sure im new to growing and still learning new stuff. been growing for about a year now.Thanks, it was not an easy, but definitely a nice experience .
I use soil and nutrients from RQS (vegetative and flowering). I’m not feeding them anymore. I heard that in the last 2 weeks, you shouldn’t add anymore nutrients.Definitely harder than it looks for sure im new to growing and still learning new stuff. been growing for about a year now.
But i'd wait another week or so to get some Amber, i read it helps alot when you goto cure, helps with flavor and terps. what kind of grow are you doing, soil,soil less, hydro?
what kind of nutes have you been feeding? are you still feeding?
Why not? The last two weeks is where they bulk up and finish off. Why not give them everything they want so they can finish strong for you?I use soil and nutrients from RQS (vegetative and flowering). I’m not feeding them anymore.

Most likely what you heard was something that goes back more than 20 years ago. It is now outdated. Back then and now it had next to nothing to do with soil growing anyway.I’m not feeding them anymore. I heard that in the last 2 weeks, you shouldn’t add anymore nutrients.

You are growing in soil. The new recommendation is for soil growers to pour a lot of water through the soil and then to return to normal watering and fertilizing routine for the last two weeks. As @Azimuth mentions the last two weeks involves a major change in the plants growth and the buds do get larger and even the trichomes get larger. By deciding not to add any nutrients at this point is the same as starving the plant for about 25% of its flowering time.
I think there are two separate ideas that come into play with the "starve the plant for the last two weeks" strategy. The first, and probably most prevalent, is the idea that you can magically flush the chemical taste out of the buds by making the plant cannibalize itself which is actually not a scientific "thing" HereThere’s a lot of myth and misunderstanding that flies around the growing space. We’ve been relegated to the shadows and back alleys for so long that a lot of knowledge has been gained in uncontrolled environments leading to a variety of incorrect conclusions.
Cannabis isn’t a mystery plant though. The more we learn about it the more it seems to behave like you’d expect others to, maybe a little more heterogenous than the next but not in some hard to grasp ways.
The best piece of advice I can give is to try to think about the plant from its natural perspective. If this plant was growing naturally, there’s not some valve that turns off nutrient supply in the last 2 weeks. It will still have access to the nutrients it had before since it’s soil food web would still be working. Always try to think about where the plant naturally sprang from. Sativas and Indicas come out of 2 different environments and autos evolved because of Siberian sun schedules. Everything about the plant can be traced to nature, it’s a plant lol.
RQS is good for scratching the surface of the ideas of growing but I’d dig into some basic gardening books. Stuff like the teaming with microbes, nutrients, and fungi book series will really help you to understand the plants so much better than reading directions on how to grow. If you’re growing in anything other than soil then teaming with nutrients and microbes will still be helpful because it breaks down how the plant builds itself.
Good points.Cannabis isn’t a mystery plant though. The more we learn about it the more it seems to behave like you’d expect others to, maybe a little more heterogenous than the next but not in some hard to grasp ways.
Just to balance the conversation, I don't feed for the last 7-10 days either
To my mind, in the final stages of ripening, plant growth slows to near zero - the growth stage is finished so I don't see the point of adding more feed
Most fruits and flowers are harvested a little early because they will continue to ripen even after being cut, so ripening has nothing to do with roots ie nutrients at that stage
The plant can only use the starches it has stored in it's foliage which is why 'You can't flush nutrients from your plants', it just needs water to transport what it has stored around the plant
That's how I see it but tbh, almost anything works fine with cannabis plants so just enjoy

And the second, which I actually do think makes sense is that, if you are growing organically, whatever topdressing you might do takes a couple of weeks for the microbes to break down to make available to the plant, so anything you add during the last two weeks won't matter in terms of feeding that particular plant and is essentially wasted money on that plant. But, if you reuse your soil (and you should with an organic grow) those nutrients will be available for the next round.
Good points.
It is a not a special plant that is unlike any other on the planet.
It is not magical no matter what some from the 60s and 70s think. Like any other plant it needs water, some place for its roots to call home, light, air and the right temperatures. The more of the basics that the grower becomes familiar with the easier it is to grow this plant.
