hello RIU
i have been flowering my first grow for 11 weeks as of today

i think they are ready to be chopped (im doing a 2 part harvest so ill be cutting off only the main foot long top cola first then letting the rest mature for another week or so) but i want to be re-assured

take a look a the link and give me your input either here or in my journal, or PM me

Thanks So Much!!!! RIU!! :joint:

Yea sativa dominant plants are fluffy and light in general,but don't let that get you down it will stick be bomb smoke,that plant as you can see has fresh growth,sativas take awhile to flower, much longer then indica dominant strains.some sativas can take up to 16 weeks to flower,but the common time frame and this is a generaliation not a standard for sativa dominant hybrids,is usally in the 12-14 weeks frame almost pure sativas can take 15+ weeks to finish,but you will know when its done it will have that look of completeness to it,sort of like the look of trees in the fall,the end of the cycle.yours is still in the cycle as you can see,when all those white hairs have died and curled into the calyxs which should also be swollen you will be there,but overall thats nice plant you got there and its gonna give you some head trips like you wont believe if you let it get ripend up,i would flush it for about 2 more weeks from 11 to 13 then think about choppingbongsmilie

Np i try,yea give it 2 good dose of nutes, let it go then start flushing again,what week did you start flushing on? Some people dont realize it but its good to flush your plant through out the whole grow as when nutrients are used they break down into salts,even more with chemical nutrients,but flushing regulary thru the whole life cylce prevents nutrient lock ups and less to flush in the end.you can nute for another one or 2 waterings then start flushing as it will be close to being done it will help bring out a little more growth and then the flush will clean out the salts and give you nice clean smoking budsbongsmilie

during the whole grow, veg and flower, i flushed the soil out 6-8 times and then continued giving the nutes on the regular schedule
as for the curent flush iv been using just plain water for the past 3 weeks watering every 3 days

thanks for the input, it feels like its been a lifetime but i know ittl be worth the wait in the end

so next watering ill use 1/2 strength nutes and the one after that ill go 3/4 or full and then flush till harvest

i have been using no nutes in my water for the last three weeks of flowering (its my first grow and i guessed my plants would be done by now) so i think if im going to be flowering for another 2-3 weeks i should give them some nutes to eat for 2 waterings (6 days, i water every 3rd day) then for the remaining time just flush again

if you guys are interested in my grow you can check out the link in my sig, ill post an update and some more pics tonight once my cams battery is charged

thanks again
