I'd say take the first one down soonish (within a week), and maybe let the other one go for another week or so, let it yellow up some more. That tall cola got me excited.

Lol yea you're probably right, I was guessing he was further along with a very poor light source. Maybe the fan leaves are just N deficient, but seemed to have started yellowing.

I don't know what's wrong with his leaves, once mine get a few (3-5)weeks into flowering the leaves start shading and dropping anyway so I dont use those as any form of frame of reference. The bud just looks small to me, like it hasn't taken its full shape yet and has about a month before it even starts to swell.
Looking back those leaves are pretty yellow, but that doesn't change my estimate on the bud. Do you mind sharing your setup Joker?

Thanks infinitescrog, I was thinking a day or 2 on the first one, and 1 more week for the other. what you think, and yes the tall cola is exciting. It was my first LST on that one. thanks again for the feedback.

Towards the end of the plants life cycle it will start taking stored food from it's leaves to pump up the buds because it knows it is dying. This causes yellowing. I trim my plants as they flower so I never notice anyways.

Yeah I figured that's what was going on with mine. I just pull them off when they turn and let the plant recover on its own. His buds don't look that old though. Just my thoughts.

I don't mind sharing my setup, but I think you are already right. I may have gotten ahead of myself with excitement. I'll give it at least another 3 weeks before I put more pictures up an ask for an update of opinions. Generally should 3/4 of the plant have dark red hairs? i've heard that if you catch it RIGHT before it starts to turn red you'll get the best cerebral high out of the bud. I thought once the hairs start to gain the reddish hairs they begin to lose potency. Then again looking at what most people post as finished product they are covered in deep dark red hairs with very few if any white hairs left. Thanks for all the input and help.

The pistils sometimes turn colors, its when the trichomes turn red and start to breakdown is when you have problems. Pistils will die if pollenated but what color they stay if any is all up to genetics. Normally though they turn and go back into the calyx near harvest during the swell.

seeing as I have no idea to ur strain
From the looks of this bagseed it is indica dominant. Thinking it is an autoflower too. To make the "feat" of removing male balls a bit easier, I chopped about 1/3 of the leaves off the mid/lower region. I have a microscope and the trichs are about 10% amber. About 40% cloudy and the rest are still clear. Leaves that are still on the plant are green, but on the lighter side. Thanks for your help +rep.

I would need a magnifying glass to see the trichomes, right? There is no way to see it with the naked eye, is there? Thanks for all the help. I'll probably leave them for another 3 weeks and repost pictures to see what you think then.

you should buy sum CFL's instead mannn.. CFL's work GREAT as long as u have enough and place them correctly. i pulled 3 1/2 ounces dry from my white widow plant.. and i only used cfl's. heres the link again.

check out how i have it all setup. how far away do u have the lights? u wanna keep them close.. like 1 1/2-2 inches away... cuz once you move them like 3-4 inches away... the intensity/lumens drop VERY QUICKLY! about 5 inches away the lumesn drop by about 50%. just grab sum CFL's... adn get sum clamps from Wal Mart.. theyre like 6 or 7 bucks.. adn they have clamps and u can hang them from jsut about anywhere adn u can move them around easily.....
i had mine in my closet... adn tied shoelaces to the pole going across the top of my closet (ghetto.. i know. lol) adn just clamped the lights right to them. adn moved them up and down as needed. heres a link to walmarts page showin the clamps im talkin about.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Grip-37265-Clamp-On-Work-Light-with-6-Ft.-Cord/14698605?findingMethod=rr
and heres what im talkin about by surrounding the CFL's. i know i have better pics on my thread.. but theres just so many pages to go thru ya know?
and heres what i got for a harvest from just using the CFL's....
was the bud that u clipped off kinda hidden?? i know ive cut off lil sample buds before... adn the side/part of the bud thats tucked away inside the cola always seems to be MUCH lighter green.. sum times almost white. and i think its because it doesnt get as much light. thats just my guees tho..
