Well, I haven’t fed for four days on the Skywalker and she’s isn’t dry yet, still heavy in the bottom of the pot. So she’s done feeding for sure. And for the last three days, when I wake up, the Cherry Pie has NOT emptied the drip tray runoff, so she’s not sucking water up anymore from the bottom and is also done feeding. The reds hairs are all down and such on half the Sky buds, on half they could curl in a bit more. All the Cherry Pie buds look exactly like this one. So yes to both questions, although the CP looks a day or two more finished than the Sky.
I think I’m gonna take the Cherry Pie. She’s at peak thc right now, with only about 2% amber, all else fully white. She’s also very indica, the tester bud wasted me for sure in an indica buzz way. So if I take her now rather than wait for my usual 10-15% amber, I should max out what she’s got in terms of both thc content and sativa qualities. Thus creating a sort of “up” indica. I’ve done it before with indicas, it works well if you’re not into couchlock.
Thanks for your feedback, it helped me talk myself into starting the new year with a harvest.
