Just wondering if it is time to start flushing, I haven't picked up a pocket microscope yet.

The strains are white widow and northern lights which have a had a rough life as you can see...The straing information says 9-11 weeks for them but they look to be close. Comments?

Also, I know pictures aren't the greatest but a yield guess would be great. 4 plants which which have been vegged 6 weeks three which are 12/12 from seed and are 49 days old today.

Not bad at all for your first try. If you don't have a scope, harvest when your hairs are 70-80% red/brown. That will give you a good idea as to when your plants are ready.

You've got a ways to go still. this is from fdd's harvest tutorial, I still like to check my plants progress with trichomes in addition to his system.
"we will start with ripeness. most people say to check your trichromes with 30X magnification. i have other ways. when buds are done they look "done". the appearance of the bud changes. the leaves start to hook upwards and become hard and crispy. the calyxes will swell and the hairs will turn brown. you can see a golden tinge to the bud leaves. this is the amber crystals. they start to turn amber on the leaves first.



not ready..........





ready.......






notice the difference? it's pretty easy to see once it occurs. :mrgreen:"
