Advice/Help Late flower foxtailing - ready for chop or wait?
Hi there! These Hulkberry autos from RQS are on Days 81 (Plant #1, Left, Photos 2-8) and 78 (Plant #2, Right, Photos 9-15) and I feel like I’m in my harvest window but need some confirmation/help on whether I should chop.
- Foxtailing: I’m seeing a lot of new and strange pistils pushing out of bud tips. Is this something I should be worried about/a sign to chop?
- Plants have faded a fair amount over the past week, particularly noticeable in the purple hue a lot of upper buds are showing.
- Trichomes: Seeing a mix of milky and clear with very little amber. Am I seeing that right? Are these plants healthy enough to keep pushing until more cloudiness shows up?
Specs: 200W light. 5gal soil in fabric pots, top-dressed every 3 weeks with Gaia Green EWC, All Purpose, and Power Bloom. Watered with blumat rings via a reservoir filled with ph-balanced water. I also water with a compost tea of EWC, Molasses, Alfalfa Meal, and Kelp Food every 10 days.
