i know i need to buy a microscope and a decent camara, but i'm stuck at the moment with what ive got,

my question is simply -: what does bud look like 2 weeks before harvest. i feel there is maybe 2-3 weeks left till harvest and want to make sure i only feed them water for a whole 2 weeks.

the problem is ive never been here before..i started to flush them 2 weeks ago and a week in realised i was way too early so started them back on the good stuff..

any help would be great..
thanks

:peace:

i´ve read somewhere here that you can look for color change in the crystals with a 100x magnifying glass, i think their supossed to turn amber like colour. dont know this for a fact cuz im still not yet there either. but a magnifying glass is cheaper than microscope.

I flush for 3 to 10 days myself. I'm in hydro, don't know what you running. Some peeps feel you don't need to flush.

Indica's usually go for 7-9 weeks. Sativas flower for 8-10 weeks.

One indicator can be pistil's. The little white hairs that turn red when they die off. Some say pull it when 50% red.

No offense but, they look a little stressed out. When stressed heavily hairs die prematurely.

I reccomend buying some indoor grow books from people like, George Cervantez, Ed Rosenthal and George Van Patton (Indoor Grower's Bible).

These forums do have a lot of info but, you need to pick up the fundamentals it sounds like from the question you asked. sorry if I'm wrong about that.
Good Luck,
DH

cool,cool.

the plants are stressed.. i left them to veg for 8 weeks, they were in small pots for too long, i started them on a 250w hps, they moved location in a van, i had the room at 90-98* for 3 weeks of flowering at the same time had the buds a metre away from the light, i droped the light on 2 of them and nearly killed them, i flushed them way before i needed to and my cat shat in the soil of 1....!!!!

but hopefuly theese are things i wont do again, or the cat.!!!

BUT STILL TO LOOK AT A PIC OF YOUR BUD 2 WEEKS BEFORE HARVEST WOULD BE PERFECT(and save me £20 on books.)
