54 Days Flowering - White Berry - Is she done yet?

This is my one white berry lady. She is approximately 54 days flowering. She is in FFOF soil and under a 150w HPS. I've been flushing with a molasses mixture since 48 days flowering. She has been yellowing a lot, but the bud growth is tremendous. The white to brown pistils is about 1:1. The trichomes appear to be cloudy/clear mostly. I was curious to hear some input on how many more days I should let her go. She is advertised at 50 days flowering and I heard a few others cut white berry around 56-58.

My plan, as of now, is to let her go to about 58 days flowering, 36 hours of darkness, and cut her in the morning.

Any input on when to cut is greatly appreciated. Please comment and help a brotha out Anyone wanna guess how much she will weigh dried out? I am guessing around an ounce if I am lucky.

looks tasty..

i dont know about an O but youll have a good size sack..

id say another 5-7 days

I really would say closer to 10-14 days. Keep an eye on the trichomes but you will want them to be atleast cloudy with some amber depending on the high you want.

Waiting is the hardest part. Do not take the flowering times in the discription to heart, keep an eye on your trichomes and wait till you get the results you want. You have waited this long what is a few extra weeks.

I concur. She is not done yet. You'll get more weight with another 2 weeks. Be patient young grasshopper and YES watch the trics if you are not familar with the strain, they do not lie.

So I am getting the general message that she is not done yet. I guess I started flushing a little too early? She is eating up her leaves as you can see in the pictures, but I don't mind waiting. This is my summer bud. I'll be updating this soon enough when I think she is ready to hit the dark phase. I hope she puts on a lot more weight, I guess we will see. Since I only have one plant it is crucial to maximize bud. I just didn't want to over do it w/ flushin and all. Thanks for the comments.

BTW, I do not have a way to check trichs, I was just estimating. I am not interested in gettin a microscope so I just am going by pistils and bud ripeness. So forget the trichs method, take a good look and make a decision is what I am doing. I believe I will try to flower her till day 60-65 zone.

u dont need a mircoscope 4 da trics as long as ur nt blind as a bat and under a light ur able to tell if da trics r amber cloudy or clear ..

Anyone ever cut the lower buds off and let the top cola finish up a bit? I wasn't sure if this was a good method for me to practice or not. The trichs are starting to get really thick and cloudy but I am still finding calyx's busting open with white hairs. I guess I'll just keep her on the molasses diet for another week and post more pics

lol an o for yield guestimation? I am seeing more like 10 grams at most dried out.

2 -3 weeks imo.

I haven't read what others are saying here.. But i recon a week or so. It is hard to say how much you will get dried as the photos make the plant look small. But give it another week i recon

I would think it's gonna be at least half an O dried out, the pictures don't show the best representation of it, but it is really dense nug. The bottom should yield about a quarter and the top cola should be at least another quarter (dried). Just my opinion on the yield.

2-3 weeks is a little ridiculous of an estimate for cutting her down. Its a 50 day strain and usually you want to wait 1-2 weeks after that date. I started flushing on day 48 so I can't exactly grow her for 3 weeks + w/o bad consequences anyhow. I'm just waiting for the trichomes to cloud over on the whole top cola. I'll post pics up for day 60 of flowering and get some input on those. The bottom colas are really gettin a lot of browned pistils and clouding up nicely.

no, i bet you will get around 14 to 20 grams dried if your flowering it longer

If you want a head stone harvest now if you want a body stone wait till the trics turn a clear amber if you want both harvest when trics are yellowish happy growing/ smoking

I am flowering longer and the calyxs are still bursting with bud and increasing in size sigficiantly. I think I posted this thread a little to early and thought she would be done sooner. Guess not. This is just summer bud so may as well let her put on that much needed size. I still be posting pics up soon to get more opinions on the updated pix

I want that supa dupa body stone so when people take a hit of this they are straight knocked on their ass from the high. I am hoping to see the 20% amber/ 60% cloudy/ 20% clear when I harvest, but I don't know my level of patience with this one haha Also I just will be going off eye'n it since I don't have a microscope. I think she'll tell me when she's done

Thanks for the useful comments bros

she will most def let you know

Yeah, definitely not an ounce.

Looks like a quarter O maybe less after cure

Seems to me, ridiculous would be putting all your time, effort, energy, love, and care into her, just to hack her down too soon....

Realize that an advertisement is just that. It's designed to entice. To make you think, "gee, I can have that tasty bud in the picture in only 50 days!"

Also consider, you are doing soil. The AVERAGE product description assumes you are doing hydro in a Sea of Green, thus the grams/m2 part.

Soil takes longer. It can take a LOT longer. If you want a real hit-cha-hard high, the ONLY way to get it is to let the bud mature until the trichs are 60-70% amber. And that takes time.

My advice, wait until the trichs have "ambered up" and until the pot just "looks done." Take your time man, and great job so far.

Really, you truly believe that I will only get 7 grams or LESS? You sure have a lot of post to be thinking in that direction. I've seen a lotttt of bags in my time I can tell you that its more or less 14 grams DRIED. To make sense of my argument for 14 grams you can see that there are about 6-8 bottom mini colas and if you have ever seen a dime bag that these bottom colas will each be about a gram. Now taking the top cola into consideration which is the largest and most dense it can easily be estimated to be approximately 14 grams. I am not startin anything, just saying that is a stupid estimate.

You are right on the money here bro

I do realize that she is a single cola and I put her into flower around 6 inches so I know that I will not hit the grams/m2 amount. I considered doing a SOG and all the proper topping and veg growth, but I was just too busy to put that much time into that stage and focused mostly on the flowering stage. It is so true that soil takes f'n forever and that the estimate they gave was basically bs and many people know this.

What I am getting at though, is YES, I want her to be hella good and grown to her full extent. What I am worried about is the problem of no nutrients for the past 8 days. I see my mistake of taking her off flowering nutes way too soon and do not know what to do about it now. She is eating up all her fan leaves to work on her beautiful bud.

Should I continue with just my molasses mixture for another 2 weeks or should I add some 1/4 nute doses to the mix? I agree, that she needs to ripen up, but what is the best approach to do this. I'm in no hurry to hack her down and wasn't trying to instigate the wrong thoughts on my grow. I want her RIPE. I just do not know the best means of going about that
