Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

1.5-2 weeks probably.

View attachment 1665095Second Ever Grow. Northern Lights. 180 total watts cfl. Just over six weeks since buds appeared. Some yellowing and wilting of shade leaves, is that okay at this point? I think it's only a week or so from harvest. Even though I have yet to see any amber trichomes. Top cola has new growth out the sides, that bothers me, should it? What do you rockstars think on this one??View attachment 1665097View attachment 1665099View attachment 1665101View attachment 1665102

agreed. couple weeks tops. looks great by the way. and na the new growth isnt anything bad. usually around 6 weeks u get 1 last burst of new growth.. thtas wat really packs on the weight on the buds. thats why alotta websites will say "this strain packs on most of its weight in the last few weeks". nice and frosty lookin tho man. good job.

Hey man what do you think about this Dragon OG? I beleive she's past 8wks, not sure though(really should keep track). i guess i'd rather pull her too late rather then too early. I've also been battling a mite infestation if that helps any. Hopefully she's not tooo far past do.lol

Oh, and how about this one as well? LA Confidential

Man that is one ugly hermie.

how bout this one! it's strain Blue39. ONLY day 42 in flower since 12/12 flip!!!

Have anything productive to say...

I would chop her and make it now, your only losing THC the onger you let it go. At this point it is just exponentially producing seeds...

Am I really losing THC? I thought it only slowed the production of THC as I didn't think they actualy USED THC to make seeds, just stopped making as much. My question really referred to the trichromes that are already there on the plant. Should I wait for them to develop into a more amber color like normal or stop before all the extra plant matter and pollen sacks get bigger. This whole plant is likely to be used in some BHO or something.

All this aside I can physically see more trichromes with my naked eye appearing over time on the leaves around the buds too as the days go by.

Genital herpes is some nasty shit.

You're wasting your time with that hermie. How is that?

Not really... You aren't even wasting time with males when it comes to BHO. I hope sometime you get sick and can't afford medicine. I will laugh at you and ask you how that herpes is doing

The sympathy card, ok. Whatever bro. I have chronic tendonitis, and Arthritis. All I was saying is you are wasting your time on a hermie. Get s female, clone it, and be done with that other garbage.

hey. Im just wondering if someone can tell me how much longer i have (about).
Shes about 32 days into flowering, 12/12 in roots organic soil ff nutes.
How much longer do u think i have left?

Lmao... Dude you are such a troll.
#1 It isn't wasting time on a plant if you have already been growing it for 3 months before it hermed and are waiting an extra week or two to make hash. It would only have been a waste of time if I trash the plant.
#2 You can't just get a female/clone around here or even seeds without ordering them, which costs money... The only bud around here is $50 an 1/8th sensemilla and that lasts like 2-3 days for me. Buying anything right now puts me without bud for a couple days.
#3 You can't just act like a dick for 3-5 posts then get mad when I tell you that you are not helping my current situation. I plan on doing another grow as soon as this one is done and I clean up.

I know for certain herm/male plants have plenty of THC for cooking or hash and I wouldn't just waste it for no reason. I've had chronic joint and muscle pain for years because of Fibromyalgia and a lot of other problems involving anxiety and sleep because of PTSD. Without smoking my anxiety gets so bad my doctors have worried about agoraphobia. If I had access to seeds, clones, or female plants right now I wouldn't be here asking for help with a herm plant.. But I am because I have to be, so once again why try to make things worse?

buy a 80x pocket microscope at radioshack for ten bucks, then google pictures of trichcomes, clear is not done, all milky or all milky plus some starting to turn amber is done. All hybrids are pretty much done between 56-70 days if you want a ballpark. 9 weeks is right for most strains. Despite claims by seed companies, nothing is really done at 8 weeks, although I'm sure someone will post after me telling me their super purple alaskan kushberry plant took 8 weeks and it was bomb. I'll stick by my experience and say nothing is really done at 8 weeks.
Get a HPS light next time too.,,,makes a world of difference in harvest weight. Impressive job with the cfl, you're gonna cry when it dries up into nothing though.

med man- i'd just let it go the normal length of time, chop off what female parts you can, pop the seeds out and smoke that, and turn the rest into hash. Cutting early and making hash with immature trichs isn't gonna make good hash so I think your at the mercy of nature regarding what those male flowers do to the plant. Maybe shoot for the early end of the maturity window. never had a hermie, just my best answer using common sense. Sorry about the plant man, that looks bad.

Thank you, this is what I was looking for. I was thinking the same thing I just wanted somebody else to confirm. This was my first herm or male and my outdoor crop was all eaten up so I couldn't just throw it out lol.

wish i could afford a HPS =\. right now im doing a apartment closet grow so to keep electric costs down, heat, etc - i thought i would give cfl's a try. not bad but not good, but wish i could do hps all the way thru.
I think she got a little out of hand because i didnt plan for her to get as tall (shes about 5ft), but being my 1st grow im kind of learning and taking notes so that my 2nd grow is fluffy and short.

I just picked up one of those 60x-100x microscopes at Radio Shack... man this thing is tough to use!!!!!


How can i take a picture of the 'combs? i see a lot of close ups, are those taken from one of those Radio shack microscopes? Or another type of microscope?
