It looks ready from pics, if your going to be running the strain again why not take one , leave the rest and then compare to see how you prefer it . Are there no amber trichs? I'd give it little more if not .

If it's a heavy Sativa-leaning strain, 12/12 might not be enough to finish it off as quickly as you'd like. I agree with canna, cut it back to 10 hours for a week and take it down.

If it's mostly milky, it's about ready. Sativas can take 12-14 weeks to start really going amber. And a lot of them never stop spitting out a few white hairs, no matter how old they are. It's all really strain dependent, but unless you want to take it over 12 weeks, I'd say its just about ready.

Since im on a perpetual grow i cant really change light sched to easily. I have heard rumors of putting them in 72H of darkness right before harvest. Anyone know if this is a real practice or just rumors? I took a small branch and hope to sample tommorow am. and i think tommorow will be the day the rest comes either way, need t omake room for my new kush. black afhani kush finsihes in 56 days. I would have never beleived it unless i saw it first hand.

Then IMO, chop it and move on to something that suits your grow environment better. Running new strains is always awesome, but sometime you find one that just doesn't work for your schedule, etc.

alright glad im not the only one. very beatiful strain for sure i cant wait to sample!


Awesome....how much did you harvest?
looks to be about 4-5 oz. thats just my guestimate. she took up half of a 600 watt hps. other half was this purple paralysis. which yeided over 6 oz. im happy camper. i forgot to take pics of the PP until after it was cut so these monster bud pics will have to do. this one was 64 days
