How long?

[Frosteze]

This is week 8 on an 8-10 week strain (Sour D). I've also heard this strain can go 12 weeks. Thoughts?

How do the trichomes look? Some strains do benefit from going 12 weeks. I use a jewlers microscope ($15) to look at them, right around the time yr at now in flower.

It need a bit more time for harvest I think.

Once the sun is up, I'll take a couple more photos. I was thinking at least another week and a half. I do have a loupe (30x). I have already started to flush. Not that I want this thread to be an argument of whether or not to flush. I've just had better results with flushing.

Here's a few photos from two days ago of the same plant.

How did you start flushing outside? And why?I'd be more concerned with the P.M and insect damage honestly.

It looks like a little powdery mildew here and there. That's no problem but can affect things negatively. Aphids are a nasty bitch

Ah...thanks for the heads up on PM. Yes aphids are a bitch.
