Hello Everyone!!!
Have 3 bag-seed plants on my first grow ( lol oh-oh ). They're all looking pretty and putting on a lot of bud weight. On this plant the pistils are all completely curled. Fan leaves are yellowing as I imagine they should being 8 weeks into flower. My question is fairly simple and quite variable. I'm wondering how much longer I should let her go before harvest. Thanks ahead of time to anyone who takes a look. I'm sure all of us noobs can agree when I say THANK YOU.
The other two bag seed babies are fattening up their buds. One is a sativa that is telling me she wants to bud way more and the other is a indica that has giant colas that I've need to tie up to keep from falling over. Based on the amber am I close on this girl? I'd like to let her go a bit longer....

I hope you got some Clones for those ladies they look great and done. 8 weeks they look great don't let them go to long then they start to Degrade. IHO I would take them now or very soon.

Good Luck I am sure you'll be very happy !! :)

Update: I decided to wait. another few days because I figured the trichs that I was looking at were in fact on a sugar leaf. I'm told these are the first to show amber.
Took a few new pics this morning and now I'm pretty sure she is ready to go. She goes into the drying tent in the morning!

So.... the tall lanky sativa went into the drying tent on Friday, the Indica went in to dry on Saturday. Just the hybrid left to go! I topped the sativa early on. The indica had topped herself in a weird way, so when all three were seedlings we decided to let the hybrid do it's own thing and grow like a little Christmas tree and she did! The cola is 16 inches long. She doesn't look ready yet, but once again I'll say it..."what do I know"......
We've got a couple GSC seeds and a BC Big Bud seed germinating for our next run. Here's a look at the last lady at the party......

Well that was a lot of fun. I'll never forget my first grow lol. Learned a hell of a lot from peeps in this community. Ended up with just a little over 7 ounces between the three bag seed babies. The indica is dense and smells earthy. The hybrid smells like sour cheese and the sativa has a weird pine/funion taste. They've been curing for between 2 and 3 weeks. I just germinated three Purple kush auto-flowers. Going to grow and harvest them in the 2 x 4 x 5 tent while 2 other gsc photos are vegging in the drying tent for 8 weeks. Thank You again to all who helped! I plan on starting a journal for the PK grow next week.

Did you flush or ever stop feeding nutes before harvest ?

I didn't use any nutes until they started flowering. Then gave them Remo Bloom at half strength for a couple of weeks then nothing but water and molasses. I actually added that sugary gold to the water every time I watered the girls. They were bag seeds. Used FFOF and perlite. Every 2 weeks I added dried and ground kelp to the soil. That was about it. Next time I'll make sure to defoliate so that I get better air circulation around them. It was crowded in my 2 x 4 x 5 tent with 3 plants in there. We dried 7 ounces between those 3 plants.

She looks great. Looks like you did an awesome job with LST! Looks like an auto-flower....(?) I had a small fan that gently blew the air around but not enough to make the buds swing around. I don't have an exhaust for my drying tent. I just "burped" the tent once a day to get fresh air in the tent. I kept the RH at around 45% and the temp at 20 c or about 70 f. I dried them for 7 days until the small stocks 'snapped' then removed all of the buds from all the bigger stalks and jarred them up. I'm still burping the jars once a day for about 10 minutes. They have been curing for three weeks now. Crazy how after painstakingly making sure the grow went well the drying and curing ends up being almost as critical.
