Grass kinda hard to tell are the hairs still white? I would be taking a total guess but 3 weeks is a good guesstimate. Sorry if I already asked but do you have a scope? I recommend a 100x scope to check the trichs I like a little brown less than a quarter of them and the rest frosty.

The top ones have turned.. just don't look like what I see in pictures! I have a scope and am looking regularly. Now, do you base the % on the one area you are viewing or what because to go through that entire plant would TAKE FOREVER. And if there are Amber and frosty/milky would I harvest even if she doesn't look like she's starting to decline. Because this plant looks really green and healthy.

Grass to answer your questions I will need to ask more. So are you still giving your plant nutes? I ask cause you can have green plants all the way thru based on you nuteing program but could be strain as well. By no means am I saying your plant is ready so don't go cuttin just yet.
So not the trichs I usually just scope a couple flowers on the same branch and take an average off that I am Sure someone on here has a more detailed approach but that's how I roll.

The 12 hour rule doesnt really apply to outdoor plants, it is a whole mess of things. The days getting shorter, the sun changing colors, the cooling down at night etc. Around here, they usually start flowering when they still have 13+ hours of sunlight. Mine are stretching, but no flowers yet. Mine usually start putting out flowers around mid august and harvest around halloween. This is my third or fourth season outside West side of Denver.

Actually that's when I figure I will be harvesting. Maybe a week after Canadian thanksgiving.

Yes I am giving her ferts but not every water. The buds still look young. And well on October 20th that will just be the 9th week of flowering. I moved her into a bigger pot and while it didn't hurt I don't think there was any results from that. Generally they take longer than 9 weeks right.

ha ha ha, you're right! i can't give up on her. thanks! i could bring her indoors and put her in my tent with a big HID light but she is budding very differently outdoors than indoors and i want to see how that goes. maybe i can insulate the shed some how.

UPDATE! well i was hoping to get another week or two outside but it's going to freeze friday night so i brought her in and put her in the tent. this ought to be interesting. i'm wondering how much of a shock to her this might be.

Why would it be such a shock. Same light period. I may have to do the same.

oh i dont know for sure if it will be a shock or not. i've never grown a plant outside and then brought her in to finish before. maybe she'll be happy.

Here is an updated shot of our outdoor girls, most but one will be coming down Saturday. They have been moved from the herb bed to the garage area, they will be brought into the garage tonight as we are expecting snow overnight and tomorrow. Our first outdoor grow was fun and a challenge due to what Mother Nature threw at us here in Colorado especially in the month of September. Happy harvesting!

Glad to hear!

Brought mine indoors today as well. They are too big to carry in and out day to day, so the next week or two will have to be under the lights. Getting there...

Wow great minds think alike. I too brought mine in for duration. To heavy to bring her inside and outside. Mother and daughter together again. Once these ladies are done. There are 3 more in veg that will be moving into flower. And 4 coming up to veg

I checked her tonight and she is looking like she loves the tent and the 12 hours of continuous HID light! She sucked up that water i gave her and I gave her another gallon tonight with some big bloom in it. I haven't fed her for weeks. Now if I dont kill her or burn her I wonder how long she will take to finish.
