you need to start counting when she shows sex and starts throwing out pistals. A good number of ppl start when they switch lights...no no

Well, they're saying it's not so much to count the days since you turned the lights 12/12 but when the plant itself showed its sex and began producing the buds.

Also depends on strain too.

Just keep going till you get the trichs you want, don't be impatient and you will get what you worked this long for.

I thought this was very helpful.
If you know how long your plant stretched for durring flowering then this will help. Still on my first grow and Im going off the color of the trichs but kinda cool to give you an idea for unknown stains

Don't let it get to ya, the only thing you'll do by pulling out early is hurting the potency and mass of what you're working for now.

harvesting early=basil buds

Just wait a little longer, patience is a virtue.

all the time.. drchronic.com is good place to check, get feminized seeds to save yourself the hassle of not having males.
