So I am new to the harvesting game and was wondering how much longer you guys think I got. Shes been flowering about 4 weeks now and I was thinking I got about 12 more days, what do you guys think? She has got maybe 10 percent brown hairs on her i'd say...so my guess is 2 weeks but im a noob. And I have a microscope and I know what to look for :)

what is it? if a Indica maybe 3 weeks give or take,. and a sativa could be a month+.
Good bag seed so I have no idea, im sure shes a mix. She was growing super bushy with fat leaves in veg, so im guessing shes more indica....but shes an unknown to me

most strains take 8 weeks to flower. if you are at 4 then you have at least 4 more to go. :)
I dunno about 4 more weeks... she is already at i'd say 20% hairs turned amber. Shes a dominant indica (fat ass leaves from sprout) so im guessing shell be cut down sooner in about 3, but i'll ask what you guys think before I cut her.

Yeah for the record, and not to be blowing smoke up anyones @$$,

Fdd is super informed on this subject. It is his sticky permenantly affixed to the top of the "Harvesting and Curing" thread.

I still say 3 more weeks, but I am by no means attempting to trump Fdd.

:peace:

Just my 2 cents...

At very least 3 more weeks.

I personally have never grown a strain that was actually mature in under 9 weeks, everytime someone posts "week 7 harvest time" it is inevitably a very premature plant cut before its time.
On a similar but different note, I'm a little sick of people harvesting way early and then claiming they wanted to catch the "cerebral" window. Firstly, the jury is still out on weather or not one or two weeks actually changes the cannabinoid profile in some significant and tangible way, I'm not arguing that if you harvest a month late the high won't change, only that its blown entirely out of proportion with people chopping their plants too early due to the spread of misinformation. The fact of the matter is, there is a damn good reason to wait. Terpenoid production. As your plant enters its window of maturity, it ramps up production of these chemicals which are responsable for a large deal of the flavor that will come from your marijuana, an extra week or two can make the difference between a good smoke and a fantastic smoke.
Not too long back i grew some of greenhouse's cheese (not the real thing, but bear with me). The plant i harvested around 60 days was delicious and pretty great all around, but the one I let go for 70 was spectacular, some of the most amazing tasting weed i've ever had, very sour, very skunky, and pretty much better in every way.
I know and understand the newbie impatience, but trust me, i've been there, its hard to sit there and look at what is smokeable marjuana on your plant and not chop that bitch and smoke her all up. But this is a game of patience, and if you wait you shall be rewarded with some truly fine bud.

Good luck and happy growing.

i try to take everything to 10 - 11 weeks. :bigjoint:bongsmiliebongsmilie



i like how they say things like "24 hours of dark before harvest packs on the trichs". how is that, and trichs can't ripen overnight can they? ;-)bongsmilie
