Not too much longer. What kind of lights are you using? And if you are using fertilizer its time to stop. That way your plant will use up all the chemicles in it right now so the smoke will be much smoother without a fertilizer taste in it. If you are using a hps light 12/12 then i would chop that bitch down in a week or two.

Looks real nice. Spend $10 on a radio shack scope and cut some small pieces off, lay it on a piece of white paper on a table and keep an eye on the trichs. If you have the time and no need to cut it down it's worth it. TBoy is right if you are using chemical nutes but if you are using organics you could probably keep going. But at least keep watering it a little every few days so the buds feed off what nutes are in the soil and fatten up as much as possible.

good. You are on the right track. But like he said, if you have time then take it, dont be too hasty. But if it was me i would wait atleast one more week. When ever you think the buds are at their prime. But this is very good if it is your first plant. Give yourself a pat on the back. But the most important part is still here to come.

cheers b. i was thinking about jus cutting off one bud then waiting a week or two for the rest, becuz the one at the top of the plant is a hell of alot bigger than the all the others.

LoL @ unemploymentdude....

i havent ever heard of anyone using halogen, for best results i would recomend using a metal halide for veg and a high pressure sodium for flowering... you will get the most out of your grow that way....

also what strain are you growing and how many weeks have you been 12/12 with it?

Interesting. Only great reason to go organic. Cool. I learn something new every time.

They look lovely.First do you know what type they are? If you know this then you can tell the flowering lenth time. From the picture they seem ready,but look at the trics through a magnifying scope or wait until the hairs turn dark. You also have to know what type of high you want to tell when to pull.

Ive seen alot about how a halogen would never work..im sure hps is better but that bud doesnt look to shabby at all, as good as a lot of 400 watt hps pics I have seen on here. What is the watts and lumen on the light?
