My girl be 7 weeks flowering as of today

Blueberry Gum

I thought she would go 9 or 10 weeks but now I'm not so sure. I am beginner here so bare with me

her trichomes show 30% amber on some and about 10% on others
her hairs be about 60% - 70% brown


I know she is not ready right now, But I do not know how fast these things progress so I wanted the opinion of you guys on when you think she should be ready
I am looking for a couch lock type high, Relaxed and baked.

I have not started my flush or anything so I was going to start Friday. But I wanted to get an idea of when I should take her down

Thank you very much for your time and your help

I watched a strain hunters video where Arajan left one flowering for 12 weeks. If your on week 10 I would recommend you start your flushing now, so you can get at least 2weeks of flushing in before you cut her down. If you dont think shes ready wait until exactly 12wks hits then chop her down, dont like the look wait 2 more and give her a total of 14, after that no longer, cut her down!!! :hump:

I would say Friday would be fine to start if you want to flush, but it doesn't look like as much amber as you mentioned, so another week and half at least.
Very nice first grow.

Thank you all very much

Some bud is all brown hairs and some is half brown half white

Funny thing is it is not the tops that are more brown it is the lower bud. I think because I supplemented the sides with the CFLs and not the top. She smells so good


I am in no rush at all I want to harvest at the right time. I just was not expecting her to be ready in only a couple weeks. Her amber trichomes surprised me. I have girls vegging waiting to take her place though

Is this G13 Blueberry Gum? I have no idea if there is another. But I can say that this is almost full indica and has a shorter then normal flower time for mostly indica dominate strains.

If you are at 7 weeks from 12/12 you have another week or two, I imagine the little amber you do see won't expand much and that's a good thing as you don't want much amber. It's all opinion of the type of high you like, but if you are looking "too get high" you want full THC and amber is degraded THC where as full cloudy is near 100%.

yes this is G13

That is good to know the breeder site said 8-14 weeks so I assumed (I am a beginner though) that it would be around 11-12 weeks but with your guys advice I will cut her around week 9

So I will start to just give water from now on

According to my calendar and how this plant has been drinking I have around 3 waterings before chop time
Should I just water the next two times but do a real flush the 3rd/last watering and how long should you wait after the flush to chop I assume you don't want the plant still wet

I bought some Clearex to flush with is this okay should I use it?

read the directions for clearex. they say do it in the morning/night (before lights on/after lights off) for a reason and foliar feed with fresh water for a reason. it's good to use clearex as it takes salts away from the root zone, allowing faster uptake of nutes/water through the root mass. IMO i'd apply before the lights turn on, about an hour before, with a flush of water afterward. after that let the roots dehydrate out one good time and then water regularly until harvest

Please link that flowering info as I have never seen a 11-12 week indica needing this long. My buddy who grew this out did so in 8 weeks and seedfinder among other sites says this is a 7-8 week strain.

No. You should do the initial(first) watering as the flush. It's how I do it at least. When I decide harvest date I do a hard watering(flush) 1 gallon of water per each gallon of dirt, and then just two normal waterings then cut about 2 days after last watering.

I only use water to flush.
