they have been flowering since the beginnning of sep but i need some expert advice to see how much longer i can flower these for. thanks in advance
This looks like one of my plants, we never could figure out here why the leaves curled downward. The only pic that helps is number 4. I see white pistils standing erect, you want those to turn orange/rust colored and recede back into the flower. Determining harvest times by trichome color doesn't always work. Some strains simply don't change from clear to amber etc. Give it another 10 days or so.

good lord thats one leafy plant, id say the best thing you can do is look for several tell tale signs. If you can grab a 20x jewelers loupe so you can look at the trichs that would help. Color of trichs arn't everything though. The red and white "hairs" need to retract into the plant, the bracts (the pods that would house seeds had the plant been pollinated) need to be swollen, and the trichs should atleast have a few amber colored so that you know they are reaching their peak of maturity however some strains just do not produce amber trichs, and even still amber trichs can appear on plants just from a bit of rough handling.

yea .... ill take some better pics later on today. maybe pics from the top would be better?? We had some really hot weather in the 100s and that what made my plant look like someone took a flame thrower to it. but all in all the buds look nice. and i figure as long as the buds look good im not too concerned on how the leaves look. but thanks for the info and please keep it comen. i need more infor. im an info whore :D
