i searched and cant really find a answer unless i get a scope. I dont have money to buy one right now and i just dont want it to be too late to cut since its 11 weeks already.

does that camera have a button with a pic of a flower on it if so push it thats a setting called macro it will make close up shots clear enough to see trichs sometimes but if not will still do an awesome job of bud pics

doesn't amtter if it's week 9 or week 11, if it's not ready it's not ready. sell something, anything, whaTEVER, AND JUST BUY A SCOPE. THEY'RE $2 OFF EBAY smalll sorrryyyyy, and they are very very useful! heck. there is no way one can't be bought :)

yup, i've got that scope, works well once you know how to use it. i want to get a 30X jewelers loup (the $2 jobs) for casual viewing instead of having to remove plant amtter each time :) the 420 is a ripoff, you pay for the 420, but as you say, iot works.

I say give it full nutes for 2 more weeks and go for a week of flush.
It looks like 3 weeks to go for me.

Your hairs should die and go back into the calyxes. You calyxes should swell like they have a seed inside of them. Your plant should take an orange aura.

You'r not there yet.

Its a waste to chop early as your buds are building weight right now. give it 3 more weeks and you'll have a much bigger yield.

I cant say i know how to tell without a microscope, invest in a small microscope with 30x then u'll be able to look at the trichromes and never having a problem determing when to cut the plants. If there is anyway for u to look at the pistils just make sure most of them are turning white or an amber color and u shud be good to go, just dont wait to long.
 
Ok if its an 8 week you still have to add the 10-14 day grace period of the plant changing to the 12-12 cycle. I follow this rule and usually have no problem and i never used a scope but i will be getting one for the next time around. So drop a little of that when its done and use it to get the scope.

Here is my math 8x7=56+14=70 days avg. Make sure you flush
More then 8 weeks adjust the number

11(weeks) x 7(days)=77 days in flower right....

I think your plants are pretty much done...and they look good....

That being said theyre not as fat as i would want them to be at 11weeks....
So going a couple weeks more might increase the size/yield....

So if youd like go 2 more weeks or so ....
But those leaves are looking pale .....looks like theyre ready to flush.....
give em at;least a week of flush if u cant wait......

i was hoping for the plant to be tops 9-10weeks in flower, so i flushed about 10 days ago. Should i keep feedin straight water or back to nutes?

thanks for advice on the scope and the macro button, just took some more pics with it on. anyone guess how much longer til chop?
About a week or so the hair will pull it self back in to the bud,sativas take 12-16 weeks to finish,so give it a week and watch every day,and a scope is about $2.00 and up to hundred's,but the little 2-10 dollar one's work great!!like a 10-15x is just fine!:bigjoint:
