The plant you harvested in that picture is nowhere near ready, it’s hard to zoom in on my phone but it has like 80% white pistils….

I harvest these plants 7 years ago, most the pistils where red but the plants did need another 7-10 days, one of the buds had bud rot so the chopped them down early.
current environment is really good, lights off (minimal 25c) lights on (maximum 35c) and the humidity stays around 50.
you can knock my grow as much as you like but at some stage your going to realize, I Know how to grow.
I will stick around and update my diary every few days, that's see how my plants turn out.
I am grow under £200 worth of HPS(brought 2 years ago, replace bulbs every 2 crops), in reused compost with some cheap dry plant food(might use £5 worth) in a home made flower room that's going to last 10 years+
I take cutting before flowering the plants off, buy seeds every 12-18 months
The weed I grow is very high quality and cost me less than £10 an oz to grow.
My plants 25 days in flower 12/12.
and some close up bud shoots.
This strain takes 8 weeks to flower, says it on the website and if I don't mess up(causing the plant to take longer in flower)
The plant will take 8 weeks in flower(12/12), many new growers think you need to add weeks on, you don't.

Well spotted, mild wind burn, can cause the leaves to dry out if the humidity too low(its only effecting the top 6" of the canopy), but it keeps the canopy temps in check, HPS does run hot.Yeah those curled up serrations just look great
The high air flow keeps the the temps even, though out the flower room and gives the lower canopy more C02.

I gave my plant a top dress, a few day ago as it was a good time to push these girls to the max.
so that's look at the results so far
looking good so far, there just starting to stack the bud.

42 days in flower 12/12,
Over the last few days, the fan leaves are slowly turning yellow and the buds are starting to ripen, pistils starting to darken and curl in.
So everything on target for my Christmas harvest
some close up bud shoots

If a good amount of the trichomes have turned amber, I will chop them, don't like over ripe buds.
If you really want to know how long plants take to harvest take a look at this site.

gives the clone a better change, clones use lots of energy holding the leaves up, reducing the leaf size down, makes it easier for the clone, also they take up less space.

Well the pics I seen in there looked like they needed a bit longer (still quick) but definitely longer, so I’m assuming the 49 days ones were definitely not done.
