Do you think these are ready to harvest?

Wondering if you think these are ready to harvest and if not how much longer and do they look healthy? Most are Strawberry Cough and one is Cantaloupe Haze...

I am unsure.

um no, whats wrong with them?

u need some clearer, closer pics..

no theyre not ready to harvest? I will take some clearer closer pics later tonight

Not ready,..and not healthy. Maybe another couple weeks but all that yellowing looks like a nutrient issue.

is there anything else i can do or just keep watering them for another week or two and harvest?

I'm going to have to let the forum experts answer that one. I've only had a couple harvests so I'm not experienced enough to advise. Since you're so far along, it seems logical that you may be too late to try and "bring them back". My best guess is you're right. Just go the couple weeks and harvest.

yeah someone else decided to flush them with some molasses and water, for a week to try and get thicker buds and then harvest

i have new plants that are ready to flower really nice and green leaves, but how much nutes should i be adding during the flowering stage this time, as it seems i messed that up last time

Here's a couple pictures of my current batch,...(maybe a week or two away from harvest as you are). As you see, they are fluffy and green. Very healthy and thick. If I had a better camera, you'd see the deludge of crystals and red hairs.

I basically hit it up with nuts about every other watering through out it's whole life. I cut back just a little durring flowering and I also used sucanate (form of molasses) to beef them up. It would go like this: nute-clear water-nute-clear (through out the veg stage) and then: nute-molasses-clear-nute-molasses-clear (durring flowering) and then the last two weeks of flowering: Clear water all the way. This makes the plants focus energy into the buds. Seems I did a good job so that's my speel. Oh,..I did just about burn the whole batch one time because I over nut'd them. Always be sure (especially durring flowering) that your nut water is only a subtle-blue. Never bright blue.

awesome tips

also what kind of nutes do you use?

There's probably some major growers that would cringe at it but I just used your basic Merical Grow 24-8-16. If you want to really get "the right stuff", go to Advanced Nurtients on line and get something called Sensibloom A & B. I just made sure the M.G. had all the basic needs like nitrogen and phosphorus, zinc and magnezium. I also made sure it had something called, "molybdenum" in it since it seemed I needed that (according to charts and forums) for a little yellowing problem I had when they were young. It was amazing that almost over nite, with a little light blue nute water, my crop started to turn nice and dark green and flurish. Then as I said, I almost fucked up about a week ago "gett'n greedy" for more fluff and added a pretty bright blue batch of nute water thinking it will grow even faster and then "over nite" I saw major burning and death. I about freeked out. I immediately poured about 2 gallons of pure clean rain water (always catch rain water when you can) through the tubs and let it drain out the holes. Thank God, it worked. The burn stoped. I'm learn'n here too bud.

awesome thanks man, i will work the nutes and stuff right on this next batch for sure, we have 3 nice dark green plants ready to flower, so we will be careful, also my nute water turns green not blue, maybe cause of my brand so im not sure what your saying in terms of light vxs dark blue, i just add the reccommended amount according to the bottle

THE YELLOWING IS NOT A PROBLEM, THE PLANT IS COMING TO THE END OF IT'S LIFE , IT IS NORMAL FOR IT TO YELLOW ESPECIALLY THE FAN (BIG) LEAVES. DO NOT ADD NUTES NOW, GIVE IT WATER ONLY TILL YOU CUT IT DOWN.IF YOU HAVE A SCOPE ,JUST KEEP AN EYE ON THE TRICHS. I WOULD GUESS YOU ARE A COUPLE WEEKS FROM HARVEST.

agreed. All leaves will yesllow when in flowering and will continue through out the journey. I would give it some molasses to see if you can help with the density.

i didnt mean to llaugh but when you asked if they were ready to harvest there is nothing there to harvest something went way wrong with them plants they look to far gone they also look very small whats the size of them im also guessing cfl's?

The big one is over 4 feet tall...

after lots of reading, the yellowing is generally cause by not adding nutes to them during weeks 3-4 of flowering, ive read and seen pics of people plants that have very little yellowing at the end of flower. but i know the majority view it as okay, so ya....

not quite ready. u have a lot of pure white hairs. let them orange a bit, besides u will be looking for a brownish ting when looking at the buds from a distance, but upon close inspection u want nice green buds, with lots of trichs..., the brownish ting is from the trichs turning amber. the kind that knocks u on ur ass.
