I like to chop once I start seeing amber trich's. Week 9 of 12/12 seems too soon however for a strain that has a description of being mostly sativa with a 8-14 week flower time as this strain does.

The sativa's I've done took 13 to 14 weeks of 12/12.

Are you sure there are amber trich's? Have all the hairs turned red?

They look good but pic 2 shows me that they're not quite done yet. Give em some more time and keep checking the trich's. Maybe even another couple of weeks.

I spoke to Simon and he recommended 53-63 days of flowering. But, I figured 1 week for flowering to kick in possibly. I have a microscope. There is not many amber, but, I do distinctly see some. All the hairs were brown last week or more. Tomorrow I am gunna pick an even better scope up. Hopefully will be able to see better. Some of the buds are smaller that are on the edge of the tent. That is exactly why I thought it might not be ready yet. The buds are not that big yet.

Been flowing almost 7 weeks now, not sure what strain it is, just some seed i got off a mate. i'd say that 70-80% of the hairs are red. how much longer should i leave her for? she is stinking out the place now it smells delicious haha

what would the ill effects, if any, be if i cut her down early? say in a week or so? im moving out and want this ready to smoke by june.
any advice greatly appreaciated, this is my first time growing, and its just 2 cfls by the way, 1 x 2700K 48W and 1 x 5000K 48W

It will be significantly less potent and flavourful. 3.5 weeks left for that sativa is my guess....


I'd expect it ready to smoke for July/August not June.

This is my ak48. I'm at about day 68 from seed, and day 34 of 12/12. I have already trimmed some of the smaller buds at the bottom. There is a mix of clear and milky trichs and a few amber. It is still throwing out white pistalls out of the collar as well. Any guesses on how long to go?

Veneno from Eva seeds. 63 days here. Breeder's flowering time: 55-65 days. Kindnug, beef, anybody really. Any thoughts are appreciated. No rush, I see many unanswered comments.

That looks real close to me, nice even yellowing hairs are receding, another week or so... any chance you could take the third, or last pic and zoom/crop so we can get a bit of a closer look?

Some sativa's have a tendency to produce new white pistils, and calyx's on the tops of the bud even until they're ready to chop.
Thanks for the info. wow those pics are nuts. I get what you mean now for sure. I have a question beef. My plants are pretty close to the range of being ready for harvest. I am still having a hard time distinguishing the cloudy trichromes. I am positive I see somewhere around 3% or less of amber tips. I have not seen any new pistils for a week or more now. Do you think that since there is no new pistil growth that I should get ready to pull them? Or is that not always a good sign?

I mostly focus on the trichomes being cloudy.... I want as few clear as possible, which usually means waiting until about 10% or so are amber. That's why I do it. :)

If the pistils have receded back into the bud, and are 90-95% brown, you don't see new growth, and pretty much all your trichomes are cloudy with some amber, she's probably good to go.
