She's filling out nicely though. The 'hairs' are gold/browning by the way. Is this normal at the beginning of the 7th week of flowering for a strain with an 8-10 week flowering period? Just want to check.
I'll probably let her go to 9-10 weeks.
Those hairs look alright. Don`t worry - nothing bad is happening.

Thanks for the compliment :)

I've never had any other experiences with Flying Dutchmen but I can say they've made an excellent first impression for me and I'll 100% be going back to them whether it's for indoor or outdoor.

This is the first grow of mine that's even made it into flowering. I'm still new to this and it's my first year growing, and I also started off with some crap seeds, and some that were males that wasted months of my time. So it's the trial and error that got me to here as well as help from valuable members here like yourself.
One strain I'd like to get around to trying is Blueberry, but right now I have some Afghan Kush seeds and some NL seeds waiting to be germinated. I might be doing those outdoors though unless either are odorless which I doubt. I live in a relatively small house so smell has proved to be an issue.

i also live in 500sq feet and smell is a big issue. i use activated carbon pre-filter to cover my fans during dark period and it helps to lower smell, but i take them off when lights go on for max airflow and it starts to stinky up my apartment with the smell of fresh dank buds. but they are only in veg stage so when flowering comes i know they will be stinking so bad ill need a new remedy. Something i heard was effective and wanted to try is putting either a bucket of pinesol with a airstone in it or get one of those table top fountains and use them with a pinesol and a bit of water. I hear they make your whole room smell like pinesol and completely eliminate the stink. i havent tried this for myself but i am about to have something of the sort within the next 2 weeks. ill let you know how my odor control works out for sure.

btw what part of canada you from?? i would love to maybe move somewhere in British Columbia if i could get a good visa after i finish school. This is still just an idea where i havent done much research on it. But i have been thinking about moving to places where the laws on cultivation are pretty easy. I love growing herb and i have been doing it since i was 14. Id be willing to move around if it meant i could grow and have my separate breeding rooms and such. Since i dont have enough timecus i go back and forth from school, or a safe place to set up several cabs, i haven been able to keep by best genetics by clining or breeding. So everytime i find an amazing pheno after planting a seed i cant keep that pheno alive. But ill be done with school within the next year and ill be moving out somewhere like Cali or Canada. Id hope to one day offer my best genetics to the whole world. Kinda ambicious for a grower but i just love the shit and i think that you gotta stick to what you love doing to be happy in life!!

I'd rather not say where I am but I'd like to land in BC as well. It seems really green and nice all around.
I'm thinking of visiting this summer to get an idea of where I'd like to go. I just don't like the high cost of living in the city, so I would probably stay away from Vancouver.

yea, i would also like to make a trip and go visit. The U.S. is just not the spot to be at if you wanna grow/breed and feel safe about it. Except for California but you always got the risk of feds terrorizing your life. BTW im actually from Puerto Rico and my native language is Spanish. How i wish i had Spanish citizenship!! i love Barcelona and guess what!? its legal to grow your own over there, just selling it and public conspumtion become offense and minor ones at most.

Haha I sure hope so. Well, it may be a jay not a bowl as I don't have a decent bong. Definitely something I need to invest in, though...

Here's a couple pics from today. I'm planning on harvesting in about 4 days, probably Monday, what do you think?

Her leaves are quickly dying and shriveling up and turning yellow and crumply... this is normal at this stage, right? just sucking out all the nutrients? let me know, this is the only thing thats worrying me a bit as it's closing in on the buds themselves, well, the leaves around the buds so i hope the buds dont shrivel up too lol.

anyways heres the pics :)

my next post will be harvest probably, ill get out my better camera for then if i can.

yea bro you are doing great right now. the plant has abandoned the maintenance of its fan leaves and put the rest of its energy into finishing the buds. so yea you are doing perfect, and so far the only leaves i see affected are the fan leaves. the leaves coming out of the actual bud still kinda half inside all look fine so they are not dying just doing the usual to prep up your nugs for the best smoke you could get!!! i would say yes!! take her down next week. its crucial you watch the rooms humidity at this point to prevent bud rot. but since you got one plant and a big room you should have some good ventilation. anyway try to keep rh under 40% and you will be golden

looking at the pics the lower branches still look nice and green leaves. maybe you wanna cut down the main cola and let the bottom mature for another week? i cant see perfectly but they look like they really havent sucked up the fan leaves down there. anyway just a thought. you can take her down whole and i bet the bottom will still be real tasty

Nice thanks for the input.

I think I'm going to end up just taking her down all at once but I'll take it day by day and see.

The room is pretty dry that she's in so I doubt but rot will be an issue, plus I have two kick ass fans, actually, three... and a window.

Oh yeah something I meant to ask was when I harvest, since it's just a personal grow for myself, I'm not looking for 'bag appeal' and I'm not selling, so do I cut the leaves off that are around the buds (not the fan leaves but the ones that stick out) or can I leave them on?
I'd rather leave them on, plus they're covered in resin so they'd be a good smoke I imagine...
