Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

I'm sure the other 3 will overtake the area + shade it out before the end of flowering.

It will make room to spread the other 3 out a bit> just wait until it fully swells+Trichomes change before harvesting it.

The area under that light is about 4'6" wide by about 7' long 7 1/2' high so I can only fit two wide. Four plants usually just makes it. Even if I get rid of the small one the remaining one still wont need quite that much width (4' 6")...at least it didn't last grow. There should be a "little" room left for her....I'm praying..but if not...as you said...I'll wait as long as possible so her trichs are mature as possible within that space before harvesting. Sure could use another light because the whole room is about 11' long but I'm honing my skills before I invest in that half of the room. Four plants actually is a decent amt. Last grow I got about a pound of dried bud by letting them veg at least 10-12 weeks....and this time I LST'd em' and let them go 10 weeks in veg which may have them out of hand...lol..I think I did too good a job and was too patient LSTing..lol. I'm always pushing it because I wanna get as much out of only 4 girls as possible.Whats one more month +-?
Switched bulbs last night to a HPS Ushio 600 watter and I can already see the difference in that small plant. Have a feeling she wont stay small much longer...Nothing like the other three but....could be some sick smoke though Interesting growing 4 different varieties at once..specially freebies. Have to order a new in line fan tomorrow...shit...mine conked out this morning. Probably'll get the 400cfm 6" Hydrofarm for $75 off Amazon. It's always sumpin'! Thank god it's not the middle of July!

thanks!

So ill switch my nutes to ghe ripen after few days and let it do its magic for 10 days or so.
Do you think the nuggs will still go fatter or just mature?

the calyxes will swell until they cant swell no more.. the buds wont grow anymore but get denser... flush that shit out...

Yeah with 11'x4.5' is way more then enough space for 4.
Another light would work out great in that room but you can always add it later.

How do you feel it effects the plant when you don't flush?

heavy metals are left in the plant that will remain in there regaurdless of how long u cure.... anyone who tells u not to flush is a fuckinng idiot...

Some people like to leach out the nutrients slowly during the last 2 wk. instead of flushing/drowning their plants in their final week.

Hydro doesn't hurt the plants to flush because there is oxygen in it...

Soil has negative effects with flushing(because nutrients are mixed in the medium)> better to leach them out over the last 2 weeks plain water(regular schedule). As long as the plant fades to a nice yellow/gold/purp the buds shouldn't taste green.

That's just MY experience with flushing in Soil> works gr8 for me in Hydro though.
I like the bad attitude towards others> shows how ignorant you really are.

Hey guys!

First grow, Auto Fast Bud #2 about 5 weeks in flower, 9 and a half weeks from seed.

She's stunted due to my ignorance in her first 2 weeks (bad lighting).

Anyways I am looking for more of a head high and I reckon she's almost done. When should I start my Flush and 48 hr Dark period?

Could you have a look? I have attached Trich Pics and Full Body pics (imgur album).

Thanks heaps!

Hello all, I have a few questions on my current grow and when to consider harvest. Even though all of my plants have been started at the same time they seem to be developing at different rates. All of the plants are in the same hydro system and the one listed below which I call Fiona (Shrek's bitch) even though it started great, it appears to have stalled completely and some yellow leaves where the others do no not maybe genetics possibly. i'm not sure on whether to let it go or harvest and get what I can. On this any advice would be great.

On my other 3 plants I'm also a bit confused. two of the plants appear to have to go at least 4 more weeks, but the other has many red hairs that appear to be getting redder see below:

Sorry for the black lines in the pics, the light is rough on pic taking. As I had stated earlier I know 2 of the plants have at least 4 more weeks, but Fiona and the one with red hair (Helen Reddy) look to be close...can anyone advise?

I don't always have all my plants ready at the same time...I harvest each one based on the color of the trichs...Sometimes I'm happy not to harvest all at once...Makes trimming less tedious...not that trimming could ever be tedious...but you know what I mean

I think 2 weeks for this one

How about some fresh pics before you cut? Then would be a good time for suggestions!

You guys told me to repost in 2 weeks to get a better idea of when i should chop. Well here i am, two weeks later, not doing well, but definitely not doing worse.
The buds dont look too bad. When should i end it?
Oh and also, my little side project going well : )

My first post on RIU! How long you think I have left In this girl? Was thinking three weeks am I close?

Here is day 53 flowering of my t5 grow-been giving only water for about a week now....Close? Sorry for the garbage pics.

WOW Those buds are packed with resin. very nice healthy plants I might have to think about getting some T5s, How many watts all up?

192 total-T5 is great if you manage the plant canopy properly.

Hey, just wanted to get an opinion here on my grow. She's nearly done but I don't have a magnifier yet and wanted to know if anyone had any thoughts based on some shots of the buds. The trichs all look clearish but I'm no expert on judging these things by eye. I've zoomed in as close as I could without blur.

She's an auto - Northern Lights x Big Bud from World of Seeds, if that helps. Grow was started 1st March.



Thanks in advance guys

Sorry for the double post. Just being a bit impatient and hoping someone might see this and comment. My GF is fed up with the grow now (It's in a bedroom cupboard and smelling pretty strong now) and wants me to cut her down this weekend but I want to get it right. Any ideas on how long it should be? If I can agree on a date with her I might stand a chance

I think its up2 you man. I can see her shooting new pistils but its hard to say whether she will put on an more weight? Imo wait a week and watch for new growth she may swell a bit in the last few days.

Did you germ her on 1st of march?
