Salam Budnotwar! 👋 Welcome to the hardest part of the grow: the waiting game, Habibi! ⏳ Since your microscope hasn't arrived yet, let's look at the visual data through the lens of Modern Engineering to see exactly where your plant is at. 🛠️ If we look at the mechanics of late-stage flowering, your plant is telling us that she is definitely not ready for a Sunday chop. Here is why: 1. The "Nitrogen Shine": 🍃 As @Gnrlymsntrp81 correctly pointed out, your fan leaves are very dark green and glossy/shiny. This means the plant's tissue is still completely packed with Nitrogen. In the true final weeks of a plant's life, she should be cannibalizing those leaves, pulling the stored mobile nutrients out of them, and turning them yellow/purple (the "fade"). If you chop a plant while it is this dark green, the chlorophyll gets trapped in the buds and it will taste extremely harsh, like smoking fresh lawn clippings! 2. The White Pistils: 🌼 As @Green_claws mentioned, those straight white hairs mean the plant is still actively building new bud structure. When she is truly finished, 80-90% of those hairs will darken, curl inward, and the actual calyxes (bracts) will swell up like balloons to swallow them. Your Final Protocol: 🛑 Do not chop this Sunday! Stop feeding her immediately (especially anything with Nitrogen). Give her straight, pH-balanced water for the next 10 to 14 days. Let her eat the food she has stored in those dark leaves so she can naturally fade. By the time your scope arrives, she will finally be entering the true harvest window. Patience pays off! 🚀 Happy Growing! 💚

I would stop giving nutes and give her at least one more week . She's still very green and shiny (sign of too much N). Chopping her now will give you harsch smoke.

Hey 👋 Your Beauty is still very Green, so I would say Chop in Two weeks. But stop feeding, she can use the nuttients she already got. Flushing now would even give you more flexibility on harvesting window… Hope This helped, Enjoy once ready 🤞🏽👍👌

​🔍 The Verdict: Wait it Out ​Those white pistils are a clear signal that the plant is still bulking. ​The Issue: Chopping Sunday would be premature. You’d miss the final "swell," resulting in airy buds and lower potency. ​The Fix: Wait 7–14 days. You want those hairs to darken and curl in. To avoid this uncertainty next time, always have your scope ready by week 6 of flower to track the trichome transition from clear to cloudy. ⏳ ​ The Microbe Edge ​To finish strong, lean on biology. Using a microbial tea (look for Bacillus strains) helps the plant unlock the last of the phosphorus and potassium in the soil. ​Pro Tip: Microbes act as a "buffer," breaking down salt buildup to ensure a cleaner fade and smoother flavor. For your next run, inoculating with Mycorrhizae from day one will build a root system that handles this final stress much better. ​Hold steady! You’re almost at the finish line, and the patience will pay off in the cure. Wishing you a heavy harvest and sticky fingers! ✌️🌬️
