hey I posted some pics a few pages back, I'm growing nirvana super skunk and I am 9 weeks and 3 days into flower. Said it was an 8-10 week strain and I think it could go for 11 weeks before I chop. Should I start flushing with clean water or with molasses still. Been feeding her only organic molasses. Any advice on how to speed things up a bit..thanks again and awesome thread!

no idea on how to speed things up but just keep doing what your doing. I dont flush so I would just keep with the molasses and I would say a little bit longer is a safe bet.

SloJo- two more weeks, start flushing now. harvest two weeks, shes aboutt here but she has a little more swell and corkscrews left inn here. Youll be pleasantly surprised.
Thanks man, flushed em a couple nights ago, 9 galons each due to them being in 3 galon buckets ... ya, holy crap, my back was soooo sore lol. But it's done and I'm ready to get this stuff finished. Just wait til next grow, I was thinking about going to 5 galon buckets, but eff that, this flushing business is crazy already lol. Thanks again Cali and Sanfu. I'll post the end result in my Journal that is in my Signature!

XMetalheadbubblegumX: 2 more weeks and chop. anything after that is personal; preference. shes still showing green in her buds, needs more sweelling, and the white hairs are still pking through. maybe even 3 weeks. but if she were mine id chop in two.

Waddup everybody!?!? Just checking to see how long you guys think my little girl has.

According to schedule she started week 12 today(week 8 of flower). How much longer do you think she has left? there are no trichs yet, but didn't know if that was because of her age or because of the strain, and my nutes. This is bag seed grown under 375w of CFL's with 6 others her size.
Lmfao, I was high and forgot to post pictures...so here they are.

Can you guys help me out?

Freebie Blueberry gum/ I think Pineapple express is the bigger one, but I'm not sure, I think it's good bagseed I planted with the PE. But one died!

Looks like 33/33/33 on the scope but, looks, clear still! It was hot in there, alot. I think I'm at like 2 1/2 months flowering now. New hairs have stopped popping/growing dramatically.

I'm sure it's not done yet, but what 1 week more? 2 weeks?

I just threw it in there and turned on the lights.

Pathetic, I know, compared to your guy's shiat, please don't laugh....

Thoughts?

Psychild : your plant looks a little overwated maybe ? And poss nute burn , im not sure , only been growing since nov.. And she seems to want some calmag. But def dont do anything based on my opinion .. Im still on my first grow and currently into my second .

Been thinking about giving her some epsom tea, definitely gonna do that...I water her when she starts to droop, so that shouldn't be the problem, pretty sure she's got some nute burn also like you said...still no guesses on how long she has left?

Hello! First time grower here, would surely appreciate an opinion on how long till I should start to flush/harvest etc! This is Yumbolt 47, hydro setup. I waited too long before going into flower and the plants are gigantic. These pics are of the top colas only as I can't get the whole jungle in my photo. They are starting to "autumn" in leaf color, and only a few of the hairs are turning. Seems like it is taking a long time! Also some of the lower buds in the jungle have way more red hairs than the tops. Under the microscope, the trichs look pretty clear although some have a tinge of amber but none are "milky." Do some progress from clear to amber? Anyway, I really appreciate your help and opinion so I can hold off flushing too soon. Thanks!!!

Looks like you are very close. Tell tail easy sign is if your plant stops drinking and instead of watering daily you find it only needs 1 every 2 days or so. Also if you want to finish her up a little faster try taken another hour or so off the light schedule and drop the temp to 55 degrees or so in dark cycle if you have the ability. It will get to a point of no growth when it stops drinking so cutting light back will speed up amber colors and help to add some crystals in the final stage. I usually flush 12-14 days before pulling the plant and only straight water for those last days. Looks tasty enjoy!

These are 8 1/2 weeks of 12/12. They are from 2 different plants but the same strain. 8-9 wk flower indicas
One plant has significant yellowing leaves and the other is turning purple in the leaves.
Signs of chop time but still look a little green on the one bud in the pic.
Chopped these and gonna let the rest go in the dark for the next 36-48 hours.
What do you guys think? Been flushing for 2 weeks almost with straight water

Ya if you are going totally organic I would skip the flushing part. But give its last 10-14 days just straight water NO NUTES.....this should help your flavor and prevent the old totally crumbly dried but it still needs to be re-lit almost every toke issue.

Crystal ratio looks great but still looking a little white. Put it under a magnifying glass and look for amber colors on crystals while they should be slightly curved or arched. 2 full days in the dark will help populate more crystals but not sure if light is needed to get that amber color to them. May want to just cut your schedule to about 10/14 or even 8/16 and that will kick that plant into overdrive. Either way you have done good and it looks great!

I got my scope today but couldn't get it focused enough to see the trichs the way I wanted to.
Gonna mess with it and try to figure it out in a few. That bigger bud was actually one of the smaller ones on the plant.
Thanks for the advice

I would hack that thing today. Looks like it has had enough. Also looks like if you are going to continue it needs water. Seems like there is amber in those crystals but the sure fire way to tell is put it under a magnifying glass if 50% or better appear to be amber in color and arching over sideways she is done. If the crystals are all white, standing upright and straight then get that thing some water let her soak and give it another week or 2. Looking at your leaves the plant looks like it is begging for someone to lay her to rest but it could be due to your very dry soil.

Cool a good investment indeed. Another thing that will tell you the plant is about done is if it stops drinking and you find your water schedule is stretching farther and farther apart. Leaves can start slowly dying and if you go too far past due date you will probably end up with a herm and you will actually see male pod sacks developing in the middle of your flowers. If this ever happens pull entire plant at end of next dark cycle immediately as the plant no longer cares about producing thc and is dedicating all resources to producing seeds. Just giving FYI stuff don't think you will have to worry about any of these problems looking at these photos

The lower part of that bud was under the scrog screen so that may be why its a little greener. The bigger buds are majority above the screen and look alot better. Imma give em a couple more days before I chop em.

 
First two pictures are my luna haze plant . I wanted to see if i should be pulling this week, or can i wait a little longer..trichs are milky with some turning amber. This is week 10, and I read that some haze can take 12-14 weeks..i clipped off the fan leaves and the cola is probably about 6 inches long. The 3rd and 4th pics is my master kush, (never tried it before.) I lost track on when i started it flowering though
