Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

I posted a few weeks back asking about a strain called Shaman, which is supposed to be a cross between skunk and F1 purple. Anyway, I didn't see any replies. Thought I'd throw some new pics up about a week from the last ones and see who might respond. As is often the case, I really doubt anyone can make a judgement from these photos and I cannot really get any better pics, but I'll give it a shot regardless. The trichomes are getting mostly cloudy but I really haven't noticed any amber yet. You'll be able to see that some of the leaves are turning purple. I don't know if this is what this particular strain does or it's because recently some of the nights got quite cold where I live, which may have triggered the purpling of leaves. Is purpling a word? :-) So, if anyone has a handle on this strain and can give me some tips, I'd appreciate it. Thanks! The first photo is a close up of the last one.

I'm battling mould right now and as soon as mine look similar to this state she comes down. I'm on my first grow so I'd wait for a more seasoned eye but damn that looks nice!

Been flowering for about 7 weeks now (freebie from Nirvana when I ordered Raspberry Cough, which will be my next grow), wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how much longer I should wait until flushing... Any opinions much appreciated! Happy days

Mold is such a bitch. I lost some of my best branches last year to mold. It mostly came from caterpillars (bud worms) eating and shitting which creates the right environment for mold spores to work their bad magic as temps cool. This year, I used BT spray to fend off the little bitches . Are you familiar with it? There are definitely some sections on this website dealing with it. It has helped. It's considered organic, so it's effects are not toxic to much beyond the worms. It actually does nothing to the moths. That said, it's strength might be questionable to some - I don't know. So far, I've only found two. Tons last year. We'll see. It's a risk every night when temps drop. Of course, I stopped spraying a while ago to avoid any neg influence on the taste so any moths laying their eggs now might have a chance of hatching. Will probably make it three weeks with no spray (on two now) and about 10 days of no nutes, so might harvest in 7 days.... You got pics of your crop?

Looking nice and frosty! Yummy! I'm on this site to get others' opinions as well, so take mine as that of just some dude who likes to grow. The hairs look like they could turn red a bit longer, but it looks damn close. I'd give it a bit longer. Can't say how long though. How are the trichomes looking?
thanks, yeah im gonna give them another week. The trichs are hard to see because the scope and the buds keep moving but i saw mostly cloudy ones....

Ok, here's my first girl. Dinafem Royal Haze. She's 67 days into flowering (CFL/Rubbermaid set up & LST). Dinafem states 65-75 days. Gonna buy a microscope tomorrow but can't quite tell if she's ready or not. These are ALL the SAME plant....not multiple plants. Advice from experienced folks only please, I don't want to ruin my first try due to folks guessing. Thanks! Oh, she's Sativa dominant.

Don't cut this yet. Breeders will typically list finishing times on the shorter end of the spectrum. You've got some more time

What about this one? It's only about 40 something days along, but the trichs near the top appear to be about 10 - 15% amber already. However, near the bottom they're all looking clear and/or milky.

These need more time. The white hairs need to start shriveling up, turning a bit read and sort of retrieving back into the bud. I don't know your strain, but it looks like the calyx (the bud itself) needs to swell more. Cannot say how much longer, but longer. My thoughts anyway...

These need more time. The hairs should start to shrivel back into the bud and turn red. Also the calyx need to swell more. You've got at least two weeks to go, maybe more and of course depending on weather. But hey, I'm on this site to get tips as well, but noticed we are sort of here left to help each other. I think the "pros" aren't answering these questions anymore. Anyway, point is, I'm no pro!

These look nice! My amateur eye says they could use another week at least, but they look close. Still seeing a bit too many white hairs on those latter pics, those need to go longer as well. Can't tell how much longer though.
