Question about tricomes

[Bechnutnascar]

Hello. First post here. Question is about the tricomes on one of my plants. Looking at them last nite and they are all milky but 8 weeks in flowering is tomorrow. No idea on the strain. Should i cut it now or wait another week ? Im in no hurry to cut her down. Any help would be great. These pics were from over the weekend.

Wait till first amber tricomes appear on the older parts of the bud to harvest

I'd wait and give her water only or you could flush, and let the leaves yellow up more. Your buds will ripen more. And that dark green isn't something I like to see around when I harvest.

Shouldnt i not water at all ? I thought dont water the last weeek or so before cutting down. Im gonna wait to cut her down at least another week or so. I have northern light plant that will be 9 1/2 weeks next week and she should be ready. 2 buds on her as big as my fist !

I suppose you have a couple choices. You can water normally, when she's dry, or you can water frequently to flush the soil. I don't usually flush, but if my plant was very dark green looking I'd consider it. Either way, my goal is for the plant to eat all the food left in the pot and start feeding on itself so that it yellows.

They look good and I agree it looks like the harvest window is open. You could also wait a week or two if you wanted buds that are less "in your head" and more of a body effect.

I was just concerned about the bagseed plant. I noticed a little brown patch at the top of the fattest cola that almost looks it might be bud rot. If you look at the base of those brown leaves on that cola, do the buds appear normal? Sometimes other things can cause brown leaves like that, too, but I figured it's better safe than sorry since bud rot can spread fast!

Overall, your buds look like they're developing great!

Ok i see it now. Ill have to check it out tomorrow. Im wondering if its from the cold and also my ph pen was way off but thats fixed now. Thanks. No bag seeds thou. Got from a buddy. 5 different kinds and i mixed them up cause i didnt know any better at the time. I do know which are my NL clones thou. Im still learning. Started in sept and harvested 5 plants so far. Everyone is getting better. I just need new lights.

You're doing great!

Would it be ok to cut the bottom part of the plant and let the topps go for another week or will that stress the plant ?

No, that's completely fine. Many growers harvest their plants in parts
