Day 39 of flowering...how am I doing?

Hey guys, I'm on day 39 of flowering, and was just curious as to what you guys think about my buds. My buddy came over earlier and said I may only have around a week left, and I was thinking more towards 2 weeks. What do you guys think?

Are you able to check trichome color?

what are the trichomes telling you?
looking at the pics i'd say between 4-6 weeks, the plant sucks energy from all the fan leaves towards the end of flowering and puts it into budding, making them swell up a ton, yours all look healthy. The last 2 weeks is when you gain most of your weight.

Hmmmm, I don't have a microscope on hand...a good amount of the trichs on the tops are turning more amber colored. I am just going to practice my patience skills, because I am mostly concentrated on weight for this grow lol. Is the only way for me to know for sure the microscope thing?

you can use a magnifying glass. I would recommend a small led light and checking during the dark cycle with a magnifying glass. Opaque/milky white is the way to go, IMHO

ok, I'll go grab one tomorrow and start checkin at night my man. Thanks.

Day 39 and they're like that? Schweet!! Go with the standard advice, check your trics. For the weight, I understand that you wait till the 'end of the window' when your buds ripen.

What strain is that? Was it very tall?

It's Purple Erkle. I vegged it out to about 24", but ended up cutting off all of the undergrowth anyways, so I think I would have been better keeping them around 18". Although I didn't anticipate putting a 1k lamp in there...

your a little past halfway it looks like 3-4 weeks

hahaha you got it!

btw what do you guys think I'll yield? I'm curious what I'll get for my first grow

looks like maybe a good couple zips.

yah....give it at least another couple weeks...but they are looking good

You have a 1000w on a single plant? Jesus. That things gonna be danky, yo

I have 11 clones in a 2x3 tub. Ridiculous $5 way of starting a grow, but it worked lol...

For $5? Ridiculous, my ass. That's badass. Oh, and I did a bit of reading in my grow bible on this subject. It is advised, according to Jorge Cervantes, to take your plants when the trichomes start showing milky/white. However, a friend of mine who grows the dankiest gawdamn I ever smoked says that to get a super stoney, ultra heady high, with added weight, wait till your trichs turn more amber. They also told me that when you think it's time to pull, wait a week.
Personally, I pull when half the hairs on the plant are red/orange. But then again, I still buy the uber dank from my boy for special occasions.

i am wondering if there are any reason that the white hairs would turn amber besides that the buds are done
?

i noticed that a lot of the hairs on my lady are turing am amber color, but i can tell by looking at the buds that they are not done yet, there is just so much amber compaired to white
