and yet another how much longer?

hi everyone.
i have been growing this plant for about 11 weeks now, from bagseed. it has been 6 weeks into flowering and i am starting to wonder when will i have to harvest it?
a few weeks ago it showed up some male flower, i picked them off and no other were to be seen. but today i spotted a seed in the middle of a flower, so i am wondering i this affects in any way the time to harvest; i checked the whole plant and there don't seem to be others.

here are some pics:


any help is much appreciated!

3-4 weeks IMO. What I would do is close the calender and wait for the calyxes to really start to swell. This will happen after the pistols turn orange and die or look as if they are receeding into the bud. This is when you pack the weight on. Most people pick too early.

i wouldnt worry about the seeds. i had the same thing happen to me and i got maybe 20 seeds out of a ounce.. it was still good bud to smoke though. i say 3 or 4 weeks longer.

What they said, you've got a long way to go. Pistils haven't even started to shrivel.

thanks a lot guys for the quick responses!
i am really eager to try some and 4 weeks now seem an eternity! what would you say if, although mabye a bit unorthodox, i cut a few buds to give them a test smoke? this way i can also practice on drying and curing

Cutting off a bud to smoke now is like taking a posicle out of the freezer before it freezes. You're not gonna enjoy it and you will wish you waited until it was ready. You've gotten this far. Let it grow. You like to finish before you're cut off don'tcha? You will possibly cause more seeding if you start cutting on her early. Seeding is her defense. Wanna fuck with me? I will make a million seeds and live FOREVER!
And before you even get excited... Those seeds will not be a good idea to grow. The reason your plant hermed and seeded itself is because it probably came from a hermed or stressed plant. The hermaphoradite traits will be even more available in the seeds you've produced. If you do grow the seeds out keep a close eye out for hermaphoradites and mutants.
Someone is gonna argue with me and say that those seeds will be femenized. Good luck with that. It's like a a hooker in Hollywood, it looks female for weeks until one morning you see one of it's balls hanging out. By then you're too screwed and embarassed to ask for help.

I agree with Irie 100% LOL

When you have a small bud that looks like this, then you can sample

SO how do they look?
