yo SR id let that go to 77-80 days and then chop
you could chop now and probably get a diff high, cut off a branch now and see how its different from the 77-80 day shit
I have a deadline because I'm leaving town for over a week at the end of june. I need to cut by the first of june so that I can dry one week, and cure 3 weeks. Otherwise I would be leaving my jars at home when they need to be burped.Unless people are posting pictures of trichs with at least a 105mm macro lens, it won't do much good to post pictures asking if the buds are done. The answer has been given multiple times in this thread already in different parts.
1. Each strain is different and will have different flowering times.
2. Because each strain is different, they show different characteristics at different stages of maturing.
3. Get a 60-100x scope or a microscope and look at the trichomes. They will tell you if the bud is ready. More amber trichs are more of a couch lock high, more cloudy trichs are more of a head high. Clear trichs mean it's not done. Don't get impatient. The pistils or colors of the leaves don't tell you a damn thing, but can be a bit of a visual guide for when to start checking.
4. Not all of the buds are ready at the same time. You might have to harvest a few here and there. When you do this, other flowers on the plant will start to mature faster too since they are now getting extra food from the mature buds being removed from the plant.
It's not rocket science, but the timing will vary. I know some people that run on a strict 10 week schedule of 2 weeks veg, 8 weeks flower, and harvest. That's cool, different strokes, but I prefer to finish my buds when they're at their best to cut and dry. The nice thing is you can pick what kind of high you want from the color of the trichs but take into consideration the strain you are growing too and whether or not it is indica, sativa, or a hybrid of both. Indicas 65-85 average, sativa 90-120. Hybrids are tricky and the phenotypes can differ quite a bit.
Well, I can only speak for myself because we all have different techniques but I tend to go to day 65 and do a trich check. I always cut them down by day 85 at the max because I only grow indica right now. I do end up with some white pistils here and there, but they lose the white during the curing process anyway. Not all of them will turn color, especially the lower popcorn ones that don't get much light depending on your trimming techniques.I have a deadline because I'm leaving town for over a week at the end of june.

I'm pretty sure my plants ready to go right now, but I'm going to flush well tomorrow and chop on wednesday. (trichs are 10%-15% amber i've been watching the trichs btw)

new pics in that thread
In my opinion , I think it's regrowth , have you messed with the lights at all or give the wrong nut at the wrong time? All the hairs are standing straight up , even if it's a strain that has an abundance of white hairs when ripe they are usually pointing down or at least curledThis is my first grow. I did TGA Agent Orange and Joey Weed Blueberry. Both strains said 55-65 flowering time. My blueberrys have been chopped about a week ago along with the smallest Agent Orange. But it is now day 74 and the rest of the AO's look like they have another 2 or 3 weeks left. Is this possible? That the same strain can have some Plants ripe before others? I see milky trich's, some amber, maybe 70/30. And also on some of the plants all the side buds look ripe but the main colas still have white pistils, hence my question???????? I'm not complaining cause I have some massive buds that even I couldnt beleive I was getting on my first grow, but its driving me nuts that they are already 10 days past the suggested flowering time. Any input would be very helpful. Now I have 2 plants flushing those are the ones with the purple leaves and they look pretty ripe except that the main cola still has white pistils at the very top. But some leaves have turned purple and others have just turned yellow, dried and have fallen off. The other 6 plants are still on nuts(Botanicare-TriFlex)they are the ones that have massive buds.
Here's my early vixen 5 1/2 weeks in and she looks a lot like the one you postedIn my opinion , I think it's regrowth , have you messed with the lights at all or give the wrong nut at the wrong time?

way to dig up a 5 year old thread, I think those plants are finished by now.In my opinion , I think it's regrowth , have you messed with the lights at all or give the wrong nut at the wrong time?

Haha good oneway to dig up a 5 year old thread, I think those plants are finished by now.
Hey mate I got same problem with sugerhaze I think that's ready il do her tomorrow then lights come on new wads of white hairs all my triches seem to be white one or two amber but I got another prob I want them out because the next ones are very ready to go I'm the nft tank there in ,the new ones are about 7 inches tall on about 5th node there in 3 inch rockwall cubes loads of roots keep growing out the bottom die and then new ones come there in a plastic tray I try to keep them not dry you no by weight when they need liquid but it's hard work plus how long can they live like this in a cube on its own so I want the singers out but don't want to chop til perfect my pods are lke little peas but it's these white hairs that are fukin with my head cheers TimI'm in the same boat as you.

It's been growing more pistils, which pisses me off because it starts growing more when the other ones recede. So I think it's almost ready and then a few days later it looks like it has two more weeks.
I've been thinking "just another week or so" for the last month
Now I'm just checking the trichs, looking for 20%-30% amber trichs... And I'm also looking for calyx swelling, which is beginning.
If your problem is like mine then I'd just stop giving a fuck about the hairs or youll drive yourself fucking crazy
