I swear every morning I wake the smell gets stronger and stronger.
I am gonna hit her with some full strength nutes tomorrow since I have been depriving her the last week and a half. After that feeding I figure I will be able to squeeze in at least 2 waterings before she is cut. Maybe 3 or more depending on how much time she has left. I learned along time ago that with MJ it is great to be patient. In all realism, I think I got a little more patient in every day life just from growing this beautiful plant 
ALL HAIL MARY JANE!!!! lol

Today when I went to go look at my baby I noticed that the top nug seemed to have gotten smaller. I'll be posting pics here tonight or tomorrow to.show you what I mean. She is super dense now, so my question to all you that have harvested... is it normal for them to lose that fluffyness look? She has just lost the girth but like I said she is SUPER dense.

Wow very nice grow report! When you do harvest lets us know wet weight and dry and measurements of the colas too if you can. What seed type and what seedbank did you use?

Was already planning on it bro ha ha. Thanks for the comment too. I'll be posting some more comparison pics tomorrow to see a little better but I will make sure to take actual measurements. My seed is just a bagseed from some dank I bought a while back.

Homer had mentioned. Let me know what you guys think. I am really starting to get excited now

That girl is lookin mighty fine, BG...she's a real plump one, lol.
I suspect that you're getting close...are you using a magnifier to look at the trichomes up close? That's how I monitor in the late stages...too difficult for me to tell based on "macro" pics alone. Shouldn't be too much longer, though...and by the look of it, I expect you'll have an impressive harvest from this one plant.

I do have a magnifier I have been looking at. Alot of the trichs still seem clear. I can try and post some more close ups today or tomorrow. The bottom nugs seem to be finishing faster then the main cola...is that normal??

I always thought the top buds would finish faster than the bottom ones...but I could be mistaken. I usually remove most of the lower branches early on, so I dont have a lot of experience with this issue. If your trichs are still mostly clear, I'd suggest to stick with your plan (patience) and keep watching them.
Not sure if I would recommend a full nute feeding at this point...maybe half-strength, just so you don't have to worry about flushing out a lot of chemicals at the end. I don't see any evidence of nute deficiencies in your latest pics.
You must be at about 8 weeks of 12/12 at this point, so I would guess you have no more than a few weeks left. When you chop will also be dictated by what kind of high you're looking for. I usually wait for at least half cloudy trichs (with a few amber)...if you want more of a "body high," you could wait a bit longer for almost no clear trichs (and much more amber).

Exactly what I was going to type as I was reading the above posts. Great minds think alike. Awesome looking buds...very nice for the CFL's

About 3 weeks from seed. But I stunted alot of growth due to stress early on and not transplanting till roots were basically popping out of drain holes.

looking very nice BG! looks much closer to done than she did in the last update. i agree with xebeche on the feeding (despite what i might've said before). easing up on nutes in the last couple of feedings is recommended by most nute schedules. so half strength would be ideal. anyway, i think a week and a half, maybe two weeks, and she'll be ready (and going by trichs at that point is your best bet). looks like you're gonna have a very nice yield man!!
p.s. if you see a big difference in the ripeness of the top buds and the lower buds, a lot of growers will do a partial harvest... just take the top buds off, dry them and let the rest of the plant mature for another week or so. just an idea.

Thanks Homer! I was thinking of cropping some of the nugs the beginning of next week. I'm glad you cleared that up before I asked the question lol. I gave her full strength BB and only half strength TB and CC. When I was watering her last week with only water, the water was almost completely clear. So I don't think I will have too much nute build up ( I hope
) She will be getting some water today and then again on Monday or Tuesday. She will be getting cropped sometime next week or next weekend. I am so happy that she has turned out good. Can't wait to be smoking on my own home grown herb! So what is everyone's thought on how much I will yield? My original guesstimate was 19g...but I have a feeling it might be a little more

Gave her some water yesterday. She was looking a little dry. The drain off wasn't that bad even with the nute feeding I gave her on Tuesday. I'm hoping to squeeze in two more waterings before I cut. Its looking like she is going to be cut on Friday. Which means she flowered for a total of 77 Days before being cut. Not too bad considering this baby was super small when she first induced flowers. I will post some pics here next week. Happy Smoking!
