10.5 weeks flowering... good to harvest???

socomplicated said:

ive been flushing for over two weeks now, but my very top leaves and some secondary leaves are still green... i also still have a couple diff spots on the bud that still have white hairs.. like i said, i planned on chopin on tuesdayish. Do you think those hairs wil turn amber by then? or does she still have more time?... i also took a look at the trichs, and these were the best pics that i could get.... what do you think???

judging by trichomes now she should be done by tuesday, and if a lil more time is needed i cant see it taking longer then friday this week. but hay some people would harvest now...... i say wait a few more days...... you will be happy you did in the end

If it hasn't already been said, for the last day or two before you chop, leave your lights completely off. This will make the plant pump out all of its last energy (crystals) onto the buds to "protect" them. Nice grow man.

thats an opinion not a fact...

cant hurt to try i guess.... ill wait until wednesday... if it still looks like it could go longer then ill go longer.... should i chop her when shes thirsty?? Is there any preference on that??? i was just curious, cuz i didnt know if it effected dry time or the plant itself...

Actually I think this method has been proven dude. A couple growers on here have reported more crystals on their bud when they leave the lights off the last couple days.

High Times had an article about the "Medicine Man" and he also states that leaving the lights off for the last couple days will improve crystal formation.

Guess all I gotta do is try it for myself now so I can call it a fact.

What happens with those practices is that it will work on some plants and not on others. Making believers and non believers. What was he growing in the article. That plant strain does respond.

i believe theres another forum on this.... please take it there..... this is a huge debate, and i dont want my forum taken over by it.... thank you

hold on the chop. i see some fresh white hairs. itll be worth the wait

that tric theory is arbitrary and is a bad way to judge when your shit is done. look at the calaxes and flower formation, and yours looks pretty swollen so its good to cut. You could just flush a little more to get those leaves a little more yellow and don't use molasses when you do it, it will slow down your yellowing.

i was going to ask the same thing, however i got 2 clones, one 12" and the other 8". ill subscribe to ur thread and keep an eye out for any usefull info, i have yet to get my micro yet, everything looks great, all the hairs are amber but i noticed that some more new white ones grew recently... ive been wondering when i should harvest, and wanna regenerate, so ill be back... take a look at my pics, if i can add them right.... i know they r small, but this is just to start... dont hate too much lol

socomplicated said:

thats funny cuz i just refered that same forum to sum1 else just today.... and in my first post i stated that i checked the trichs with a 60x scope and theyre 5% clear, 75% cloudy, and 20% amber... i just wanna know if my girl looks mature enough to harvest on friday... thanx for the rep tho!!!

no..wait until the pistils receed into the pods u shouldnt see any hairs by the end

Boneman said:

If 20% are amber, I'd chop it. Then I looked at your pics.

The above is correct google it do you think people do go buy thc balls 3 good to go no mate each bud will have different amounts some be ready some will not just pick the ripe ones buy the hairs i can just tell you when its ready i smoked since i was 13 its not hard

checked my trichs again today and i still kinda got a lota foggy trichs... i want more amber. but how much longer is that gonna take? lol. i was plannin on 8 weeks, and its day 77 in flowering! wtf!! im thinkin friday is as long as i wanna go! let me know what u guys think!

Its all up to you. You can harvest now or wait for amber. Its your decision to make.

one week never hurt anyone

just wondering.. how many CFL's and what watts did you use? (being a cfl grower my self)
