Week 3 flower first grow.

So today is day 52, I stopped feeding Saturday and it has been getting nothing but water. Smell has really came in and branchs are starting to sag. 50-60% of pistols are orange and curled 60%of trich are cloudy,I'm thinking about harvesting next week.View attachment 4006439
Speaking from my experience only that plant has at least 2 weeks left. By pistils curling into the bud I mean you won't be able to see as many. Those are some nice buds but will weigh nothing when dry. The real weight is just starting. If you do decide to wait which you should you will thank me.I'm guessing you started counting days of flower from switch to 12/12?

I feel If decide to wait should I feed it one more time this week then start the flush next week and harvest at 9 weeks? I mean it's really not an issue just want it sooner then later.... and yea from light change but it showed prefliwer maybe 2 weeks before.also these buds are dense af... when squished there's really no give

Also the roomies really want it down at this point... not to smoke they are really paranoid now. So I think day 58 I'm Gona take it down 8 weeks in. I'll lose some weight I assume but for a first grow in the conditions gotta be safe then sorry. How much you thinkin is there?

Its not about quantity it's about quality. The first week from switch doesn't count so you will lose potency. A quick buzzy high that doesn't last long. It will be a waste of all your time and effort. I tell everyone if you don't have the time and patience then just buy it, don't grow.

Has nothing to do with not having time, I have invested almost 4 months. And I understand the quality aspect... I'm in the grow tent ever day for the most part I take care of it like it's my baby. Just wanted to know if I should keep feeding like I asked and how much you thought it looked like because you have exp. I seee what you mean by the buds swelling, I started the flush Monday with All water and watered today just water if I go all next eeek and water and harvest week 9 will that work? I also have to consider I'm not in a legal state... gotta be smart.

Your plants look healthy enough for just water until she's done. When most leaves start to turn yellow that's when she's feeding from the leaves and most nutrients in the soil are gone. I feed my plants very little anyways but that's me. Also 4-5 months is average which is why we try for the most out of a plant both quality and quantity. My first grow I chopped at 8 weeks only to find out later with experience that it probably needed 2-3 more weeks.

Yeah the leaves have started to change to yellow. A lot have fallen off in the past 2 days. The water that ran out today was at 6.5 ph too. Unfortunately never got a ppm meter.

If you have to take them down don't sweat it, learn from mistakes made n do another grow. It's just a plant. Bet the quality is good. Cut it down, dry it, cure it n puff puff pass. :)

That's what I have been thinkin it's not much or a mistake just down early, other then that the plant looks amazing in my opinion a lot more then I could have hoped. I'm Gona make it a little longer possibly but with where I'm at the smell and the roomies I might have to make a judgement call to keep everyone happy. We'll see how she's down time will tell.

These nugs are inssane..... the crystals are nuts... I took her out of the lights to kinda get a better look and holy cow... makes me want to cut it at 58 even more... I'm Gona see how they look then but I may just leave them this week and cut down next at week 9.
Nice plant you're getting oh so close. Another week-10 days and you should be good.
