This has been flowering since july 20th approx. When should she be done? seems to be taking forever but she is 4 feet tall. still unsure on how to tell when she is 80% to switch to pure water. what would you suggest? how far along is she? this is her as of today

8 weeks is usually a good guess but it is best to dertermine ripness from the trics when thry turn cloudy for a heady high and turning amber for couch lock affect. if you dont have a loop then some say you can judge by the pistols i cant tell you what % but it is when a certian amount are red. but it looks good bud.

your last two weeks are when you should start to flush it. and that should give you time to flush out the left over nutes and get a nice taste and burn from your prize. and i would say that you probably have around a week to two weks left so start the flush and yellow leaves at the end are a sign of a good flush.

cut most the leaves off b/c they were very long. thought it might keep nutrients and resin and such condensed to the bud. but as you can tell in the second pic i left the smaller ones on...it was like i said only the big leaves i cut off...may have been a mistake but the plant seemed to like it a lot once they were cut.

You need way more red hairs then that. Read the harvesting tutorial by fdd2blk on the top of this forum you will get a good idea of what to do. Also, I am curious to see how the plant will develop with all of those fan leaves cut.

Mines coming down on wednesday - you started flowering a few days earlier than me, so we've got about the same time.

Flushed mine about a week and a half ago (one large 500 ml water - plenty came out the bottom...some leaves are starting to go light green so I guess the flush worked ok, figured I'd only flush once to let it use up the nutes left in there rather than waste them - think it worked!)

It looks like you still have 2-3 weeks left to go. That would be a rough estimate. I always watch the trichomes. That is the best way to be sure. If you are gonna eyeball the hair - wait until they are 80% reddish orange.
