OMG, where are the fan leaves? :D
yeah, from stigmas I'd say you still got like 2-3 weeks, but then again, where are your fan leaves? :D

i agree with sunni 3 plus weeks. You dont need to get the scope out until the buds are done growing and then done swelling you still have some time

I would give it another 2-3 weeks or you will lose out on yield and potency. Also I don't strip fan leaves of untill the last week. In my experience if you remove them to early it will slow the plant down,that's where they make energy. Nice looking buds though dude,has she got the bubblegum smell? And what breeder did you use for the seeds?

meh, the plant shed most of its fan leaves, and i trimmed a couple, but that was like quite a while ago, it hasnt replaced any really, its got the pink wicks taste hehehe :) the cheese isnt too stinky but i have good venting and activated carbon running through the extraction as well :)

you wanna wait till all tricomes are cloudy and a few amber. no clear ones
this cannot be applied to every strain.
if keeping the temps 70-80 during lights on, growing sativa dom indoors, max potency is clear swollen capitate stalked heads with some milky. NO amber. Also receded stigmas, and swollen calyxes(since you're looking uplifting high). Indica dom people go for more amber since degraded thc into CBN gives more mellow sleepy feeling which they are looking in a smoke. Also if temps go above 80 plant can react to it and trichs become milky weeks before the harvest day like it happened recently to me. A lot of things to consider here so you cannot make one single conclusion.

But the fan leaves, man... You had to support a plant with proper amount of N so the plant would not shed itself, good luck :)

anyway as for the first time you did a great job man :) I thought bubblegum isn't very long flowering strain, nontheless those stigmas in pics still show some decent development of calyxes. you still have time man, at least 2 weeks even 3 I'd say ;)

sho :/ ya ok, think i must have slowed flowering down a shedload defoliating too early :/ bubblegum supposed to have a 50-60 day flower indoor :/ lol

ya dont worry i was gonna ignore that, lol. cloudy means trichs are saturated with thc so all cloudy means max thc. dunno where that guy is reading hehe

I go by Tric's ..... AFTER.... the hairs have receded… You have lots of white growing hairs… When hairs have receded, then check Tric’s…at least 3-4 more weeks…

Clear/Sparkling no THC, just born Tric’s, all plants make Trics till the end of there life, so you will never on a healthy plant have zero clear trics… That’s just the way it is…


Cloudy/Milky Ready… Peak Potency…


Amber/Tea colored degraded THC… not desirable… plants keep changing as you dry and cure from clear to cloudy, and from cloudy to amber/tea colored…

If you have old pot [old pot = oxymoron] check the tric’s on it…

Check out this thread, and seriously, understand it… Lots of great charts…

Amber/Tea colored trics not good…


Good Luck!
