Welcome to the forum! If you're using CFL's, why does pic 4 show the lighting of an HPS light? To answer your question, you need a magnifying glass to look at the trichromes. When about 75% of them are amber and turn from clear to cloudy, then it's ready to chop.

Looks ok for first attempt but you can see that you may have had the lighting too high during flowering your nxt grow try and have your lights 6/8 ince of the your tops.The reason that i say that is the buds look realy fluffy,I would give any strain a extra week for more crystal production,so if it is a 8 week strain give it 9 week.I always cut the plants down when 75% of the hairs have changed coulour but by giveing your plant that extra week it will intencify the strenth and you can more enougth gurantee the plant will be done.

Harvesting is pretty simple. You wait for another 4 more weeks. If you have been using plant growing nutrients then in The last 2 weeks only use water. after that just cut them down, take all the leaves off, dry the buds and put them in jars for a couple weeks.
 
im a virgin with the grow and i am woundering if its true that molases helps with yield and tast? i wish i could post my pics because mine look similar to bader 6969 but i have 3weeks to an keep my lights bout 6in away.hope you can help me with this ?

First you need to read up a little bit. Just by reading through this forum you can gain amazing grow info! You ask almost everything that is defined in many topics extra for you. You dont want to have the whole way explained to you. Many posts are very specific, and all your answers are answered and you dont even have to really search. Just trying to give you a little help since replys may start stopping and thats your best bet! Or do you want to wait a week andget no repleis and you pull your plants in a week but your 5 weeks early? just an example. But really knowledge yourself with a book or so. Later

Yeah you want to wait at least 4 more week if not longer, are you using any nutrients?

as syze wrote: do the research...there are so many threads about what you are asking...check the stickies at the top of the topic list and you'll find what you're after. just a couple of hints: give the plants 48-72 hours of total darkness just before you cut...forces the plant to try and save itself by releasing resin and cure, cure and cure some more...it'll improve the taste significantly. it sucks that after 12 weeks of growing that you have to wait another 3-4 weeks for drying and curing but really, the difference is unbelievable!!

but do the research man, there is no better way to kill a few hours while stoned by reading through these threads...peace
