white widow flowering finishing at week 7?

[wonder6977]

I have a white widow girl and she is starting to produce amber trichomes (maybe 1 out or 20) but its only week 7. the strain is a 8-9 week flowering, so I'm wondering is it normal to have a strain to finish a week or 2 before it normally does and if i flush now will it flush in time for harvest without too much degraded thc? the lower buds dont look nearly as finished as the top ones do. and advise?

when you think it is completely ready, wait 1 week than harvest

What does the rest of the plant tell you.

the top colas say yes its ready to be harvested but the lower ones say no. should I just harvest the ones that are ready, and let the rest continue to grow, and if I do that how will that effect my girl? should i continue to give just water?

Ive been wondering this to. These top buds look ready but bottoms not so much.

decide where the ripe buds end and the immature buds start. cut the plant on the maid stock. the bottoms will continue to grow good for a week or two.

Something weird happened and i dont understand what happened. I checked the girls and saw almost no amber trichomes yesterday, I checked the girls today and see none at all??? the top buds are starting to get larger and fill out more and are starting to look like they are where they should be? I have only been giving them RO water. they are frosty as hell and they trichomes are milkey white. could I have just been looking at a small portion of the flower that was fully matured early and the rest of the flower just not ready? thoughts, suggestions, insight? thank you all for sharing your knowledge.

8.5 weeks is good on WW. 9 weeks for more indica knockout. Don't leave it for ages past the 9 weeks or the plant will become over ripe and you'll lost the tops of the crystals.

Wow I had the same problem on my first widow grow. I had 60 percent amber at week seven and I couldn't figure it out quite so during this 2nd gro I backed the 400w hps off by six inches and added small oscillating fan at bottom for better air circulation and this gro the bottom is perfectly on time. 8 weeks today and few amber hairs maybe 1 percent . Funny thing is the top kolaa are still trying to grow out slightly only two of them are doing this
