She's getting ready, we're close, but patience is a virtue before turning final. I'm checking the trichomes carefully, but the majority of them seem clear. We're looking for cloudy before the chop, so there's some maturation to be had yet. Everything still looking green, though the pistils are darkening significantly.
The main cola is now cooked to death. I would cut it down and reposition the light for the other flowers, but I don't want to cause stress right at the final hurdle while things are fattening up. Every time I look at this plant I feel a sense of pride, but also a mild regret that yet again I fell short from the flawless grow. This could have been the one if I'd known to top a couple of times to save the height. Redo? Tempting. Depends on the final product but if Biscotti is a nice smoke I'd like to try again, same setup but try the topping method.
Anyway, blessings all around, it looks like we'll be getting some very nice weed in the end whatever happens. I'll stress a bit peering through a jewellers loupe at the trichomes trying to convince myself the ratio looks good for a few more days no doubt.
Fingers crossed as always
