Critical Orange Punch

hey there WG, Big bud is amino acids which is a chelation agent and you only really need one of those at a time because in any case they get in eachother's way. You're already using enzymes as a chelation agent so in effect, you're totally fine not adding the big bud. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Hey Wizard. Your grow looks amazing. Healtby leaves, great structure. Honestly hard to find anything wrong with it. The best thing you can do is is just keep up the great work. If you want to get extremely critical you could bring your night temp up a couple degrees so you are 5 degrees below your daytime temp that is the only thing I see that may give you a bit of improvement. But honestly looks like you have everything dialed in on this grow and you are well on your way to a killer harvest! Good luck

Hi @Wizardgreen317! Pistils can be a clue, if you noticed that new pistils have stopped appearing and old pistils have almost all turned red/brown and curly, but the best way to ensure it's the right time is to look at the trichomes with a magnifier/microscope. Clear/Transparent/Thin trichomes mean it's too soon, Milky/Cloudy/Fat trichomes mean the harvest window is open, Amber trichomes mean the harvest window is ending, and THC is degrading (less THC, more CBD/CBN). As long as most of the trichomes have turned from clear and thin to fat and milky you know the 'harvest window' is open, even if you don't see any amber. Harvesting too soon (too many clear trichs) will result in a uplifting/energetic effect but you will lose some terpenes & oil potential. Waiting longer (too many amber trichs) will result in a heavy stone/couchlocking effect with more medicinal benefits. Hand-held microscopes can be found for a few dollars on the internet or at your local growshop. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊
