Do it! I cut all the “suckers” off! I want big fat buds and the plant to spend it’s energy on them. Get good sharp shears and clean them with alcohol. Cut away! ✌️🏻💚💨🌿

Trichomes: ready to harvest?
Looking for trichs opinions: these pictures are from yesterday, Day 66. Could be a good time for harvest the purple lemonade? The other one, Gelato Auto, is rapidly showing ambers and makes me think to harvest her too. But of course I don't want to harvest too soon!

Wie lange bis zum ernten?
Was meint ihr wie lange noch bis man ernten kann? Die Trichome sind jetzt alle Milchig. 50% oder wie viel Bernstein ist ideal wenn ich stoned sein möchte und nicht high?

Trichomes and time to harvest
Did check on trichomes in week 12 (7 flower). Distribution was something like 0% amber,10% milky, 40% cloudy, 30% slightly cloudy, 20% clear. If my goal is 10-20% amber, how many days does it take usually to get there from here? Rough estimates are welcome. I'm a newbie.

Enough early flower stretch? Please help
Does she look ok? I always get these short squatty plants with almost no node spacing and my yields end up being way less than they should be. I don't get the stretch I need. I've figured its too much light so now with just 1 light does she look like she should?
