8 Weeks of Flower, How long till Chop?

I quickly scanned your pics and did not read any comments, so here goes:

FUCKING AWESOME EFFORT DUDE !!!!! They aren't ready in my estimation but I think within 10 days you should be good to chop. Seriously an awesome job considering what you had to work with. If that plant right there doesn't give you the urge to make growing your own a lifelong passion nothing will. Seriously an awesome job !!!!

Thank you for the kind words!

Looking great for a newbie run Indica, but you need a scope or if your camera has a macro function, use that and zoom in closer. Forget what you've ever heard about pistil shape, colour or size, go by the colour of the trichs, regardless of strain. White/cloudy trichs for more of a head stone, amber/gold trichs for a couch-lock/heavier stone, has never failed me, and I'm an old guy that's been growing this shit since before you were probably born

Share that wisdom bro!

id wait 2 weeks, prob start flushing now

about 2 weeks from the looks of it..... no need to flush

Looks like some cloudy but the last close up shows there are still quite a few clear trichs, imo another week or two. That's strain & environment dependent though, it could go fast. This round I'm just about to finish I had some Jack The Ripper that went from mostly clear to all cloudy in about 5-6 days and I was thinking 2 weeks, keep a close eye on them, looks like you found your macro setting. If you can, find something to set the camera on to hold it steady while you take the pics, or a cheap tripod can be had for under $20 and most cameras have a female screw on the bottom to screw it into a tripod, they come in handy at this stage and end up taking awesome shots. For reference, these are with an SLR camera on a tripod, shots from last weekend, first shot showing still a lot of clear, second shot around 50-60% cloudy. 5 days later and they were all cloudy... They'll get the chop Sunday after 72 hours in the dark and will likely end up mostly cloudy with the odd amber starting up. I prefer a cloudy head stone...

I hung them to dry for 4 days. Put them into jars last night.
I was pleasantly surprised by my weight--25.6 Grams dry.
They are curing in jars right now, and I am opening them multiple times a day.
They smell very plant like right now (Green). Is this normal?

Awesome, should be some nice puffing material. Don't worry about the "green" smell, it'll dissipate as you cure them, burp them for 2-3 weeks until properly dry and they'll smell and taste completely different, you should start to smell the difference after about a week or so...
