still have quite a while, at least 4 week, I would say,
how are you growing it? what kind of light? they look more like 3 week old buds than 6 or 7. I would step my light game up man :P

looks like it has a ways to go before harvest if you start flowering before you see pre flowers it will take longer since you force it into it

i am using 2 crappy household 60watts on the bottom haha n the one not shown in pic is 125w cfl. Do u think that stress when i was growing might have slowed down its overall rate? My friend was taking care of it while i was out of town after about a week after it sprouted i came back n it was about to die it looked like. I stepped in n saved my baby though

Hard to tell from these pictures but if the plant has been flowering for 6-7 weeks I would think you'd have at least another week or two before you should harvest. One thing you should invest in is a pocket microscope (min. 30X) so you can see the trichomes. These are the crystals you see on the buds. In general you will want 50% of the trich's amber in color before you harvest. Without this it is really a guessing game as far as the best time to clip. I just recently harvested and my baby was flowering for 11 weeks. I was debating on harvesting a week ago but people recommended that I wait one more week. So I did and I think the bud will be more potent because of this.

When you look at the trich's you will see that they are either almost clear, milky or amber. They will start out clear then turn milky. When they are ready you will start seeing amber trich's.

This is the method I use and so far so good. Someone else may have other opinions but I would say wait a couple more weeks.

Good luck with your first grow. The next time around you can use what you learned the first grow and constantly improve.....

I think its just due to too little lite, if you cant buy a HPS for 125, at least get 2 or 3, or 4, 42 W CFLs from home depot, labeld in big letters as 150W, those lieing bastardos!!!!
