Is she done ?

[Mahawka]

Newbie here. We just finished week 8 from 12/12 flip. How does she look? More time needed ?

 

[Thundercat]

She looks beautiful, but no were near done. Minimum 3 weeks, might even be 4 but that remains to be seen. Your plant is still growing fresh new beautiful buds for oyu right now. Ignore the time and how longs it has been in flower, it is totally irrelevant.

Looks great but yeah lots of time left. You want to see the calyx swell and the pistils turn orange and recede

 

[Mitchician]

Yeah what they said, especially the bit about her looking beautiful, nice job. Show us some more pics please?

Thanks everyone. I checked the trichomes and all seem to be cloudy. But I agree more time required. I added a few pics for you Mitchician.

Oh mate you smashed it out the park. Some would say you flushed too soon but nah fuck that shit better to err on the side of caution in my opinion, always better to be too flushed than flush too late. What strain and how long does the breeder say it takes? Might be less than 3 weeks away to be fair..

 

[Thundercat]

It might only be 3 weeks, but its not less then 3 weeks. It doesn’t matter what strain or what the breeder says. That plant is still growing and hasn’t even began the ripening process. Ripening takes 10-20 alone.

Okay good to know thanks

Actually i have not started flushing yet. I have just been lowering my PPM slowly. I am growing in DWC so it's an easier task.

Thanks for your comment. At this point i see most of the trichomes are milky but i will continue waiting.
Do you think the plant will bulk up even more ?

Don't even look at the trichs at this point, you will learn when to get the loupe out after a few grows.
Yeah there's a lot to bulk out yet, all the weight will come in next few weeks.


Trichs are the last sign when all others indicators have been shown.

Your doing well!

Thank you sir! I will keep your tip in mind.

1 week after update.

 

[Thundercat]

Making progress, that’s great. You are gonna have a nice plant there.

 

[SheeshM]

Beautiful garden! Keep doing what you're doing and be patient. In the latest photo, you can see how some of the pistils are browning and curling back. Keep watching and you'll see the calyxes swell soon. Maybe 3 weeks ish.

 

[Mahawka]

Hey all. Another update. We just finished week 10. Here are a few pic. I think she getting close. Any thoughts ?

 

[Thundercat]

I see mostly clear trichomes still. Trichomes can be tricky, they like to magnify the stalk of the trichome in the head giving a false idea of the cloudiness unless you look from various angles. If you look at those pictures you will notice most of the trichomes still have a clear patch on the edge where you can tell the head is clear, and you are seeing the stalk coloration.

Definitely looks like another 10-14 days to me. The pistils have receeded nicely, and now the calyxs are swelling internally, adding weight and density to the buds. That typically takes 10-20 days AFTER the pistils fully change. Each of the little calyxs will start to look fat and plump. The buds will usually start to lean over from weight if not well supported. Then after that time frame the trichomes should be showing ripness, and you can determine when to chop.

We are another 9 days in. Just want to see your thoughts on harvesting. I am about to go on vacation for 7 days. Should I chop it tomorrow or wait till I come back ?

As I am a first timr grower I do not feel safe giving any advice but just wanted to tell you how beautiful your plants are and i hope anything I grow is at least half as nice.
