Hey Riu.... Seeds broke soil 5/15...switched to 12/12 6/15 (approx not in front of my journal) so 2 months into flower... How much longer do you think based on these pictures... Hairs are mostly red.... Trics look milky.. What do you guys think?

Will report a trichcome pic when I get home today... If all milky should I just give plain RO water for a few days or go ahead and chop?

Just guessing here. They look really good. They look like they are still a bit on the clear side. It may not happen to you the way it would for me but with my plants, the crystals become milky at the very end so much that you can see the change with the naked eye. If those were my buds I would be seeing that change in 1 or 2 weeks from were you are at. I like to chop a few days after I see that change. Everybody has there own preference when to chop.

Thanks Buba... I think you're right. First grow and getting excited. From what I've gathered if you think they are done wait an extra week and reap the rewards. Illlet em finish up with just RO water for a week and go from there. Thank again!

Should be ok sometime during the week. I like to go by the red beards more than trichomes.
Gonna be a nice hard stone. We call it rooibaard (redbeard). I'd put as much water through the substrate or medium now as you can. The leaves are way too pretty and green for this stage.

I haven't heard someone say rooibaard in years!

I cliped two buds even earlier than this and the high was surprisingly good so it all depends, but I think I would wait a week at least....or do as I am doing now, for me this is the first year I let my buds go extra long to experiment with (except for the one exception mentioned), and the colors are now like trees in the fall, many of the green colors are going red, tan, purple, I been clipping buds off every 5 days and the clipping started at 65 days from 12/12 flip to now about 82 days. But mine at 65 days was looking a little more done than yours are now as a visual comparison and I labeled all my jars to test, after the cure. I will let the last two buds on my plants go 50/50% tan; Disclaimer though I never tested bud go this long before so as of yet I cannot comment or recommend doing. I may post the test results though once completed.
