Hey can anybody tell about how much longer I have on this? It was put into 12/12 just before X-Mas, but i don't remember the exact date. Also its a CFL grow. Thanks for the help!

We were thinking of giving ours about another week... waiting on amber trichomes. What do you guys think? (check our link)

Alright...I read about 45 pages so far....
Enough to know that it's NOT ready, But 1 or 2 of the buds DO look ready, and I'm curious if I should pluck them off and give em a dry and a sample, or if I should leave them on until the rest are ready.
She's a Random Bag Seed, and my FIRST EVER grow, so bear with me...
She I never topped her, and I didn't do any research until I changed her to 12/12. So she stayed in veg for something like 7-8 months. And in that time the the lights were hung above....so that paired with relatively weak lighting caused her to shoot up to about 7.5-8 ft. I'm SURE she's had and probably has light stress. She's been @ 12/12 for 14 weeks now, BUT did endure 1 light cycle mishap where her dark cycle was interrupted.

Now, DIS SPITE ALL THESE FORCES WORKING AGAINST HER, SHE HAS PRODUCED!!! She never hermied, she never gave up. And now, her buds swell with pride (and resin). I estimate another 2-4 weeks until she's done. But i'd like the opinion of another. I'm unable to look @ the Tricromes closely enough to discern clear, cloudy or amber. So hair browning is really all I have to go on....

She's not much to look @. But I started her in life, and I owe it to her to take her all the way to harvest. I'm WELL AWARE that I won't be getting but maybe an 8th, and quarter if i'm LUCKY. But it's not about that....it's about learning all I need to, so that when I have a GOOD seed, or a GOOD clone, I can take her to harvest too, without stumbling along the way.
But anyway, enough chit chat, here's her buds. (Her names T'Pol btw, from ST: Enterprise)

This is the one I think is ready to be plucked.

I know....it's alot of pictures...But they're the best shots I had, and I figured the more shots there are, the more educated a guess I can receive from whomever responds. I would REALLY appreciate some feedback. Minus the obvious "Wow...I can't believe that thing is still alive."


PS: the top buds (2 of them) have new growth on the top that's making me worry that she's beginning to herm. I was warned that these little banana shaped growths would come from a female flower and pollinate her.

I should also point out that she's been grown almost 100% organically. NOT that i'm into that kind of thing...personally I think organic is pointless. But, early in her life, she was neglected, and I noticed she was VERY sickly looking, paired with the light/heat stress, and the hard water she was getting from my tap. I knew I had to do something for her. I gave her just a tiny bit of nutrients and she began to perk right back up. But as it was garden variety fertilizer, I opted not to add to much. And i've since switched to purified bottled water to feed her.

But another question I have is, that assuming the person who answers understands the difference between Stress, and Chronic. Chronic being the majority of what's grown on this site undoubtedly. Things like Green Crack and OG Kush are Chronics. Stress is nameless, it's weed with few if any hairs, and 100% of stress HAS seeds within it's buds.

So me question is this....Does this resemble stress to you? I've never seen stress with such trichomes or hairs on it. And in spite of the fact that it looks like a disaster, the question remains....is it chronic...or stress?

ANY AND ALL HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED!!!!
THANKS!!!:eyesmoke:

Give that two weeks+ and lots of light. Pistils are already turning brown which means you won't see too much more weight. But it seems you know that, so good luck.

Ok, so I changed my setup a little from whats in the picture.
My problem is this, my light bulb recently went out, and I was forced to replace it with a flood light bulb (as pictured here at the bottom on the floor)

View attachment 1428825

And it's producing a lot of heat.
SO i've added an extra fan, as well as allow the curtain to stay open and allowing fresh cool air to get in. This is a shot of the 2 fans (1 large 1 small) and the flood light setup.

This is the digital thermometer that I have, so that I can try to maintain a temperature under 80° F. But you can see in the bottom corners the Highs and Lows it's recorded since being setup.

And last of all, my other light that go on the top for the top nugs to feed on. They aren't anything special, but the problem, is that i'm forced to work with materials that I have on hand, without going out and buying anything special.
View attachment 1428842


So with that knowledge, i'm sure she's been suffering from light stress, and maybe even heat stress. Although the high on the term is NOT the norm for her, she's usually around 82-83 @ the most. But is the flood light rate any higher (Lumen wise?) and is it worse then an EXTREMELY dim clear bulb???

Now my answer is a guess and nothing more. I would wait for a more experienced answer before taking anything said to heart. But i'm gonna guess, and see how close I am...
I would estimate (from the pictures you have posted) that your looking at another 4-6 weeks. But....again, I could be way off here. We'll have to wait and see what the others say.
