You can take one of to test it. Did you like cut all your main fan leaves off or something??

Actually really didnt cut anything toward the top only around the bottom for airflow, and a few in spots to let light to the lower buds. for some reason there really wasnt that big of leaves on that plant, My other one i have growin has huge fan leaves. Could it be the strain or just plant problem lol

thanks for in the insight.. it was a mystery seeds my buddy gave me turned out to look really good. its about 4 months old now it probly would have been taller but i started it under cfls in a small grow box then god blessed me with a 600w HPS and ballast for free.. (Shipping errors RULE).. Best 25 bucks i ever spent .. (Bought some Mylar)
 
yeah man looks good, but all ur hairs are still white. prob give it like 2-3 more weeks. depending on the colors of the hairs. u want those hair to be a redish/amber color. take it to 8 weeks and see what it looks like.
peace & Repect!

If you wanna pluck a nugget off, put it in a paper bag and sit it in a dark but warm spot for a quick cure, overnight to two days.. or say screw the bag and just leave it somewhere overnight and smoke it.. Tell us how it is..

Like everyone else said,3-6 ish weeks you will notice when its done the tint of the plant will get darker all the hairs will receed into the calyx's. A big indicator that you need to start the flush cycle is when your buds are at around 99% red haired and stop growing, you will see a last little shoot coming out of the top once that fills in during the flush its time to chop :). Hope this helped!
