Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

I got two of my girls here. They where planted may 24thSO 18 weeks old.. Not quite sure when I switched to 12/12. They started at 18/6. CLF. MG potting soil. Used too strong of nuts. I'm thinking maybe two to three more weeks. What do you guys think? There not pretty. First time didn't really do my research.

These need more time. The hairs should start to shrivel back into the bud and turn red. Also the calyx need to swell more. You've got at least two weeks to go, maybe more and of course depending on weather. But hey, I'm on this site to get tips as well, but noticed we are sort of here left to help each other. I think the "pros" aren't answering these questions anymore. Anyway, point is, I'm no pro!

Thanks for stepping up. Unfortunately, I do think that you're right.

Hi here are a few pictures of my White Dwarfs at nearly 10 weeks from when they first sprouted through the soil.
If anyone can give me any advice on them or give me a ruff idea when they are ready for harvest that would be great.
This is my first grow i am doing them in soil with a 125powersave bulb. Giving them 1/4 strength feed every week. Normal tomato feed for the veg stage and some kind of blooming fert for the flowering stage.
In my opinion i think they look quite 'stringy'? Is this due to lack of power in the bulb or somthing else?
For my next grow im going for the white rhions under a 600w bulb in soil.
Any tips or advice welcome and let me know what you think.
Cheers!

Forgot to mention the bulb is on 24 hours a day.

this is my lady burn 1974 its 8 week of flower i am thinking when to harvest. Also i have 1 question i`ll be happy of u answer me.thanks
i forgot to pay my electric bills and they stoped my electric for 24 hours my plants was in darknes is there a problem to contonue now with 12/12 cycle or need to harvest them ? thanks !

Czechems,

This is my sole survivor. Dependant on the mould situation she'll get another week+

Yeah, it definitely looks like it could use at least a week, but like you said, that's if the mold stays away. If you have to harvest now, I think you'll be satisfied with your smoke. Good luck!

Hard to say what makes them look stringy, but low light would certainly affect branch growth during vegetation time. Looks like you might be slightly over-fertilizing or over-watering, according to the curled up leaf tips and yellowish leaves. Be sure to flush it with nice clean water for the last 7-10 days before harvesting! I think these girls need some more time. A lot of the hairs have not retrieved back into the bud or turned red. I say let the buds swell a bit longer. At least two weeks from what I can see, but I'm just some dude trying to help, not a pro.

I've never heard of that strain, but it looks nice! I wouldn't harvest just because of the 24 darkness, but I think it's true that it could trigger some kind of stress reaction and maybe something like your plant could start to go hermaphrodite, however, I think this won't happen and your plant will slide back into a normal routine and the buds will continue swelling up. Aside from that, I'd definitely wait to harvest. Can't say how long according to the pics, but I see a lot of white hairs indicating it still needs to mature. good luck!

Sorry, but on this site, you are lucky to get anyone to reply at all and you won't ruin your first grow from one person's opinion; you'll ruin it if you don't do your homework and get as many opinions as you can. So, take this from a guy who has grown at least more than once. I'd harvest these closer to the later date Dinafem advises or even beyond that number according to what I can see. Your buds still show a lot of white hairs. As the buds swell and mature, most of the hairs will turn red and sort of shrivel back into the bud. I think when you get that microscope, you'll get a better handle on judging this plant according to the trichomes. good luck.

Ok, here's my first girl. Dinafem Royal Haze. She's 67 days into flowering (CFL/Rubbermaid set up & LST). Dinafem states 65-75 days. Gonna buy a microscope tomorrow but can't quite tell if she's ready or not. These are ALL the SAME plant....not multiple plants. Advice from experienced folks only please, I don't want to ruin my first try due to folks guessing. Thanks! Oh, she's Sativa dominant.

sorry pics are crap but would be happy for your input.

Hey, do you mind telling me where you got those square pots? Thanks

Pls people? Any thoughts??

Pic from a day or two ago. I'm at around 30-40% red hairs now. I'm thinking two weeks? Lot of swelling in the bottom and middle buds, new growth keeps coming in on top though.

This is The Doctor. She's been in 12/12 under 2x 105 watts 2700k CFLs for 26 days now. I plan on harvesting on the 31st for a total of 56 days under 12/12, I know this is early, but I really want to bring out the head high. I may leave one of the main colas on the plant for a week or so to get some real knock out bud, too, for just before bed. Is this viable? I've heard of people doing this. I can't look at the trichomes, I have a 60x jewelers microscope coming in, but it may or may not get here in time for this harvest. I've read that the optimal time base on hairs is when 75% are orange, so I figured since I wanted it early I'd look for about 55-65% orange.

That's my tentative plan, but this will be my first harvest. Does this seem like a viable plan and on track?




Strain Info: http://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/The_Doctor/Green_House_Seeds/

says it's an 8 week strain, so 56 from first 12/12 probably won't get you into trouble. ideally, that means 56 days from when you see new pistil formation but.....that jewler's scope will help you tell as that's really an estimate and several setup factors can change things. hope it comes in time

G.D.P. is the strain , organic happy frog nutes how till its done and what do you think the yield will be on this plant ? All the photos are of the same palnt.

you need more time . they will produce two sets of hairs one after the other.

Very nice, especially for your first attempt. This reply is 10 days after your post. I'd start harvesting at the first sign of amber in the trichs, myself. I'd harvest from the top down, and allow lower flowers to ripen a bit. Certainly a beautiful plant, good job!

I'd harvest as soon as I see amber trichs, but from the top down, allowing the lower flowers to mature a bit more. The buds will continue to mature after harvest. I look for pistils darkening about 75%, and/or retracting back into the bud. Patience is a difficult thing ...

Now there's some budporn...

I've got a few OG Kush plants at day 52 from flip that are teasing the fuck out of me, hoping you guys can help. I've got a LOT of red hair, firm, dense buds, not much in the way of visible crystals, like on my GDP. For the last week or so these plants will begin to look ready, pistils will start to recede and harden, then the next day I'll walk in and there's a new layer of white pistils everywhere and they're off and running again. These first pics are of my OG, how much longer?





Here's the GDP



And the Tangerine Dream



would love to hear how much longer you think I've got on these strains!!!
