Thanks GG...I don't get why I seem to struggle getting the trichomes to fully ripen. I wonder if it's the lightsLooking great Stardawg
I can't believe how big and frosty they are after those very humble beginnings! You really broke out the confectioner's sugar on them.
You mean no matter how long you wait you still have clear trichomes?Thanks GG...I don't get why I seem to struggle getting the trichomes to fully ripen. I wonder if it's the lights
Not sure brother! Looks like you went 63 . My indicator is all pistils have turned color and laying down on the bud. And she pretty much stop drinking.Thanks GG...I don't get why I seem to struggle getting the trichomes to fully ripen. I wonder if it's the lights
Plants look great, so maybe wait a little longer on the harvest. Is this plant from seed? Clones finish quicker imo

IKR... it's been a long hard road. Good genetics I guess
Yeah... and they're still drinking.
IDK what that means
Thanks mate! Yeah these ladies started as beans.
And excellent record keeping.
What happens if you just keep waiting (assuming no foxtailing)?

Past grows have eventually gone amber up top and then I chop. It just always takes longer than the breeder suggests.And excellent record keeping.

I've seen pictures of fox tails but don't think I've seen them on my plants. Not really sure. Why are they bad?
They're not bad if they're genetic. They can also be a sign of light or heat stress though. I only added that part because they always push out new pistils and trichomes if you did have them. Makes gauging when to chop more difficult.

Soooo...I got the microscope to work and my mic stand came in. The scope connects to a wifi magic box and the "scope view" app let's me connect to the wifi on my phone so I can snap the pics. Using the mic stand allows me to dial in the focus on the scope with one hand and viewing / snapping pics with the phone in the other. I didn't get pics of NL2, but, it looks like I should've harvested Saturday past as I planned 
As far as them still drinking...the bucket PQ1 is in has a leak so they aren't drinking as much as I thought.
NL3
This one has the least amber.

The pics don't do these girls justice. They are just a gorgeous shade of purple.

Isn't she lovely?
Here's some macro shots I got of NL3 with a clip-on loupe on the phone. I don't see much difference from the macro lens on the phone so probably sending the set back.

Not sure when I'm going to find time to harvest though. I think this harvest is going to have some serious couch lock.
Should I hope you have trouble sleeping?
