It looks like you have enough to last you a few days so it's all good. How long are these babes supposed to take?

  • The super lems are ment to be 9 - 10 weeks, they are starting to show some brown hairs but id say still have easily 3 weeks to 4 weeks left which would be around right and the super silvers have about 5 weeks to go. so overall yea! they are much bigger in person the pictures dont really do much justice! thanks for your replies !​

NEVER go by the color of the hairs! You go by the # of days since they started to flower in 12/12 AND the color of the trichomes (the crystals) under a magnifier... too many environmental things can cause the hairs to change WEEKS ahead- even the genetics of some strains do this anyway... so don't ruin your harvest by cutting early! Check the trichs!! ;)

its the ballast that makes the lines
take pics right when lights off

Yea i notice alot of people take pics just after the lights have turned off but i havent wanted to disturb them once so i prefer to take them whilst they are still on, its the frequency in the lights. I think if more people went straight in and used a 600w hps for their first they would realise its the way forward, thanks everyone your comments are much appreciated.

quick update, 7 weeks as of the 29th march. how they looking now? strung more bits up so they dont flop over, getting quite dense now.
 
Hey man looking really healthy especially for a first grow. I didn't see how much light you have in there but for 7 weeks into flower you should be proud of yourself :clap:

I will like and modify. Be sure to count days from both 12/12 and signs of first white pistils. Breeders times are closer to pistils first showing rather than 12/12. switch. And tric colors are a must. I've had 60% white hairs and 90% red hairs at harvest, most meaningless tell tale there is. Overall look is more important than pistil colors.

I totally agree, the scope will give you the 411 on exactly when to pull. Clear kind of foggy is up buzz, amber is relaxing with good couch time, total amber is total couch time, unless a sativa it will take away the edge and give couch time at end of buzz. At this point lots of sugar. Molases, carboload, and bud candy and they will pump like biceps.

Fantastic!! I grew some super lemon haze a couple of years ago and it was the best smoke I've ever grown.

Thanks people you've reassured me now, i start to panic because i find it hard getting pics off the net of grows that are flowered around the same weeks. Your all very kind. I'll be sure to smoke one for all of you !
