Hey this is my first outdoor grow, strain is Gods Gift. Its been flowering for about 7 weeks now... I think I still need 1 more week but I thought I'd get some feedback on what the flowers/crystals look like to some experienced growers. Also, should I cut off all the extra yellow fan leaves?

1st and 4th pictures are side branch buds, 2nd and 3rd pic are of the top

I realized I might need some close-up pics to determine the harvest time. Pics from the Gods Gift plant 2 posts up ^^
Seems to me like there are mainly clear, some cloudy, and I even see a couple amber crystals. Is it time to harvest??

I having a hard Tim seeing the trichs, but this plant is supposed to only run 8 weeks and I'm 8 weeks to the day, but had pH problems that slowed them down for about a week and really hurt my yield. I have a 10x magnifier that isn't quite enough, and a 100x magnifier that is too hard to kept steady. Lemme know if you need better pics and I will try and get them.

Thanks a ton man, very generous thread.

That's a tough call from those pics, man.

It looks pretty damn close, the pistils are receding nicely. There's quite a few leaves which makes it harder to tell! :D

Pic #3 the lower small bud doesn't look ready, but some of the others are really hard to tell. I'd wait if I were you.

The last pic and pic 5, the calyx's look nice and swollen.

Pic #2 they look a bit whispy still....


My advice is wait another week and see how she's doing.

Okay so you think about a week? I just put her in the closet, I was going to give her 2-3 days in there and see how she looked. I'm like you, I have one plant that I didn't even post pictures BC I know its ready. But this one is tough to tell; I was thinking of just harvesting the 3 big tops, and leaving all of the branches on it for a few more days BC its the lower part of the plant that looks like it could definitely use A good solid week, but the tops are turning purple and I'm noticing few ambers, especially on the leaves.

Anyways, thanks a bunch man. I'm going for more of a head high, which I don't know if its a good idea with a 100% indica like this, but hopefully its a nice complex buzz. I think I'm gonna take my chances and go ahead and put her in the closer for 3 days and see how she does. Where this is the first (of seven other) plants that I've ever grown, I couldn't be happier with how they turned out; I pulled a few buds about a week or 10 days ago and have been playing around with curing them, and last night I took the first hit in my life from bud that I grew myself. It. Was. AWEEEESOME. Even tho it was lower popcorn buds that were really premature, I still got high as shit off of them and they were covered with crystals. I know this bud is going to turn out really well at this point, and honestly probably some of the best shit in town where I live.

BTW, I know what you mean about all the leaves. I had really tight internodal spacing from the get go, and them getting sick cost yield I think BC the buds never quite swelled out the way I really wanted them too. But I defoliated the plant really aggressively about a week ago, and I will admit it definitely helped the buds develop much quicker getting plenty of light but I went a little ooverboard taking them off. Here is a picture from the other plant I'm putting in the closet tonight. It had four 10-12 inch colas that weren't getting any light at all, except for a little on the top like half inch. I'll send a before and after defoliating

Thanks again for your thoughts man, you really echoed what I was thinking anyways. I've learned to be so patient throughout this whole process but its just gotten to the point to where I can't really take it anymore.

Good morning growers ,

I have two girls at day 58 since I switched to 12/12. Pistils were already showing on the LA Choc 3 to 4 days before the flip. As for the White Widow, she started showing pistils at day 3 of 12/12. By looking at both , I think about 2 weeks to finish. That would be just over 10weeks of 12/12. What concerns me is the long flowering time and I would really love to turn the lights off as soon as possible. I can go max of 2 weeks . Even at day 72, I will hope they are as ready as they can be , as it will be difficult for me to go any longer. Do you all think another 14 days will give enough time to finish up for me ?......

The first 4 pics are for the LA Choc and the second 4 pics for the White Widow P9281933.JPGP9281935.JPGP9281937.JPGP9281942.JPG white widow P9281938.JPGP9281940.JPGP9281943.JPGP9281940.JPG

Hehehe, no worries man glad to help. Defoliating during the end of flower is also something I tend to do.

I've found that even when the colas look done, further down the cola the bud can still be underdeveloped. I find a good way to truely see if the buds are done, is to start trimming the bottom of the buds away. If it looks underdeveloped and full of lime green new growth, you shouldn't chop yet. The buds will mature more! :D

Just finished an EPIC battle with root gnats which stunted her flowering a lot i bet..
I still see some buds popping out here and there also.
Maybe a week, 2 max?
