Almost Ready???

How many more weeks am I looking at?

Do you have a microscope to look at the resins ?

No I don't actually.

There incredibly sticky...quite a few crystals on the bud and about 2 cm out on the leaves...

About 20% of the long hairs on top are red/brown.

Already read it.

Hard to tell from the pics you sent....You usally look at the trichomes under a magnify glass and yank when they are honey colored. Or when about 80% of the pistils are brown. You also should think about what type of stone you want. For a heady high you harvest earlier. For a body stone leave them until the hairs are mostly brown. Also depends on weather conditions. If you think the weather might start to turn bad and become damp and rainy. Pull the buggers. Good way to introduce mold into your harvest when it is damp, which is definitely not wanted. Usually bud is left to the ultimate last moment when th egrower is more interested in sales weight and not so concerned about the type of high as the last too weeks of bud can really make a diffrence in the overall yeild.

Yeah I;m kinda worried about bud rot bcuz the remains of all those hurricanes keep hittin me (livin in south ontario) and it has just been rainin hard for last few days...but next few days are suppose to be decent sun and no rain.

Bump.........

looks to me like you have at least about three weeks to go. you will know once they are ready. those buds still have a lot of swelling to do.

It bused out a bit other day, post more in a bit.

Those have a LOT of time left before theyre ready. I'd say 4-5 weeks.

Ye let me just find your thread...

Looks like i'm at just about the same stage so i'm keeping an eye on this

I would leave it for a couple more days.
Probably 4-7 days at the most

4 to 7 days?!!?!?

I posted this like a week ago and the buds r gettin pretty fat.

After all the reading i've ben doing on here I 've come across "bud timing" a lot. Next grow I'll keep an eye out for the first sign of budding.Apparently about 60 days give or take is about normal for flowering.Just a general guideline...I had the same field situitation ya...its harvest for hay twice a year and right now the field is WIDE open and the plants are gettin a lot of wind...building a mini greenhouse for the single plant...i'll post when its done hopefully.

3 weeks to go and it will be ready for the cure

There is no "general guideline." You could grow an identical strain as me, and mine could take 50 and yours 75. I am currently flowering 8 females (have harvested 4) and it has been over 90 days since switching to 12/12. Granted, I like my weed "RIPE," but, there is no set number of days for flowering. Its all up to the plant, and you as the grower to decide when its ready.
