I do so. " when I think she's almost ready, when any bullshit you can commit can no longer do damage, start to pluck away fan and sugar leaves " I much prefer to pluck 2/3 leaves a day continuously.

Feeding with Aurora Innovations TERP TEA. And making a tea out of it. I’m using one TBSP per gallon of water and about 1/3 TBSP of molasses per gallon then I am bubbling for 24 hours. How do I know weather my plants could use more nutrients? Could I up the Terp tea to 1.5 TBSP?

What is the best indication for me that she is ready to harvest given that i do not have a good magnifying glass to observe the trichromes? So far i was thinking that if 70-80% of pistils turn orange on a bud its a sign that its time to harvest the cola.
