You sure got a ways to go, but they are nice looking plants.

I recommend getting a hand held scope to check the trichomes, but you have some time to find one. I would say at least 3 weeks and probably more depending on the strain and what type of high your looking for.

What nutes are you using?

See how lush and dark green your leaves are? This means the plant is still full of nitrogen, which tastes like shit. Are you planning on flushing?

Good job man go to radioshack they have a device their that will let you check the triachs like the guy below mentions. Give us some info on your grow.

Veg time? Nutes? Temp/Humidity? Etc. Good job though.

Its had 39 days flowering and you want to cut?

Normally depending on strain flowering is 8-10 weeks, sometimes more.

Read the GrowFAQ im sure it will answer many of your questions.

I am guessing here but I am saying harvest approximately mid to late february. Looks like another month before its ready. I agree, get a scope and monitor the trics. Also let us know the set up and nutes etc...

Here is the pics of the nutes,
the temp is always between 65-82 degree's
i'm not sure of the humidity, i dont have a temperture thingy that reads that. i'm sure its pretty dry in there.

Well its THC Bomb strain, my 1st grow, its in a waterfarm.
the reason why i ask if its rdy cause i read that when 50-80% of the hairs start to go brown is when i should cut it. but i needed to make sure of this lol

"hand held scope to check the trichomes"

can u explain to me more about this? what am i checking for? i'm assuming the trichomes is the crystals, so if im looking at them, what am i looking for?

I'd say start flushing in another 2-3 weeks for a fortnight
