I'm doing a guerilla grow in a nice spot in the bush. I have been fertilizing 2-3 times a week with flora nova and koolbloom

I Think so too. Mine look riper than that and I probably won't chop until mid October.

Ya you got longer than 2 weeks I'd bet 3-4

Yep...You have aways to go before you chop those girls! They look great but your pistils are still white, swollen and full and as far as I can tell you still have trichome development and they are all clear! Your pistils should be shrunk and reddish orange and your Trichomes should be mostly cloudy with a few amber showing!

But yes once you start seeing the pistils change start looking at your trichomes through a jewlers loupe and look for 50/50 clear/cloudy with some amber in the mix.

Then start your flush with plain water and or a flushing agent!

Cheers

Here's what 2 weeks looks like mine have like 16 days including today

Here's with 4 weeks to go

 

[Yodaweed]

Those plants look like they got about a month more to go, good luck.

See the difference in the calyxes. They aren't swelling at all with 4 weeks like like yours are and swelling like mad at 2 weeks left

So when u guys stop nutes? I have been giving my plant feeding every week on Sunday. About 1/2 of the recommendated dosage. I was thinking about stopping maybe 2 weeks to go and just do RO water, some cal/mag and liquid karma.

Will stop watering 3days before the chop. If you ever grew tomatoes, a sweeter fruit comes when you don't water for the remaining days before harvest. Figure this would be the same for MJ and it also shortens the drying time by days.

[Kidbruv]

Agreed. Mine are about the same as yours and I figure between mid and end of October.

Ok...so staying on point here but also posting pics to show the different stages my girls are at...first here is The Black...she has likely 2-3 weeks...pistils are turning orange, calyx are swelling and trichomes are developing yet still clear...will start flushing as soon as can see 50/50 clear to cloudy trichomes...she is the most mature plant, they are all clones and all started at the same time. They all started stretch at the same time too...the Agent Orange stalled in stretch for about a month before she transitioned to flower...

 

[ktmac20]

Here is my Black Cherry soda...she will be next to go...likely 4 weeks more...

 

[ktmac20]

And finally Agent Orange...likely 6 weeks out...mid to end of October! Hopefully you can see the different stages they are at...trichomes and pistil development

Cheers
