Good job for your first try grower. She is burnt to fuck and I'd guess you ended up using twice as many nutes in her life as she needed.

Regardless, you have been fresh water flushing for a couple of weeks and you can probably take her at will.

Don't worry about the new pistils popping up, many plants continue "growing" until they are dead and just can't anymore.

I'd say cut her out, dry and cure her out and enjoy your first venture into the wild fun adventures of growing.

Dude that is an almost pure if not pure Sativa (depending on where you got your genetics). she has AT THE VERY LEAST another 3 or 4 weeks to go. GREAT high, but not for the first time grower. Even most experienced indoor growers get impatient waiting on Sats.
And YES you will definitely regret chopping now!

Stop flushing, and feed them some more (lightly) Quit worrying about pH unless you are set up hydroponic, and don't worry about flushing. Just quit feeding about a week before you chop, and don't water for a couple of days before you chop, But for gods sake, don't chop now!!! Nice looking plants!!!
 
Thanx a lot! And yea towards the end I started giving her more nutes and I was using a soil ph meter at first and I'm not sure it waa very accurate..now I hav the soil teater Nd th water ph meter which I both use to get a better reading..I'm thinkn I will also get sum litmus paper jis to confirm yet again. But I shall defly chop now since I got a lil "go ahead" from u cuz I wasn't quite sure

step back from the edge Ashley... don't jump
it's not worth it... she will be gone before it was her time
it is best to have let her grow then to have never grown before (that made no sense) but i'm stoned lol

I am not one to suggest or support any such tools. I feel that ph meters do MUCH more harm than good.

Getting an accurate reading is the first part of "not likely". Making the proper fixes even if you do get the right reading is probably VERY unlikely.

Companies want to sell you gear, I have shelves of meters and gauges and papers and fixes and all.....collecting dust.

The best thing to do is get a simple water filter, (I use an RO filter) and never adjust my ph.

I don't even waste my time trying to read it because then what?

One THINKS they can fix it but they never do, they always just make it worse. really it's true.

It is much better to mix your nutes in your 5 gallon, 10 gallon or 50 gallon container and water. No adjustments.

Different nutrients uptake at different ph and if one keeps in the recommended window of 5.6 for hydro or 6.3 for soil, there will be prime and trace elements outside of that window that can not uptake and you will be required to make a mid course correction.

You should never have to fix things, if you do them right in the first place, you never will need to fix them.

So proper nutrient levels, proper aerated water (Fill up reservoir day before and run a fish pump through it to oxygenate it and burn off the chlorine that comes out of the tap)

Add your nutrients, ( a little lighter is always better than a little heavier) more is NOT better, more is worse. Then water and leave it alone.

Like I said, great job for the first run, next time you will do half as much work and worrying and have twice as good a flower.

So....

Just how many times are you going to ask the same question?
The answer doesnt change. Get a scope, check the trichs, if you see amber crystals it is basically ready.
Since you are colorblind, get a friend to check, if they see amber crystals, it is basically ready.
 
Lmao altor..ikr...I just don't want skrew this part up especially since I've came this far...I do have two others well into flowering so it won't b a complete waste if I do and I have clones up and coming bt like I say I've come this far. Bt ur rite...ill b calling up a friend today I wished u guys lived here
 
Thanx once again..everytime I post in the newb section I get a whole bunch of contradicting andwers and suggestions. Bt I read a couple of your threads and I feel much safer taking ur advice...chop chop **** down she goes....besides I hav skunk #1 and bluedream flowering rite along side her and ill let them go a few more weeks

Look... advice that is free, is worth what you pay for it....
Plant is weeks away...WAIT-WAIT-WAIT !!!!
Buds will be fluffy air buds now, [don't believe me, squeeze the second biggest]
You do want dense bud don't you?
---------Harvest when:
No new hairs pop out, bud is plumping and getting bigger now, WAIT!!
Hairs that have grown, will every time recede back into the bud [you say you have never seen the hairs recede, you most likely harvest too early every time]
Now check for Calyxes-They will be double sized looking like a double sized seed is inside...
When these above have been met, then check your Trichromes...
Over 90% milky harvest...
Plant will make clear thric's until the day you harvest...
You want as few clear/and amber as possible...
If you see Amber Trich's your plant is done...
Good Luck !

Hey Ashley, I can NOT argue with the sound logic of [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Sand4x105. They are 100% Correct.

However they are an experienced grower and know what to look for you are having issues with this due to sight issues and your first grow.

Yes Sand is correct, the proper way is to scope it out and determine that way. I had considered giving the same advice however the reason I did not was because due to the significant burn indicated and your claim to have been flushing for 2 weeks already, I'd cut and go know if I were you with that plant.

Like Sand said, things COULD improve were you to wait a couple of more weeks, however judging the plant from pictures, I'd also place even money of them NOT improving with time.

You have the others up and coming anyway.

Sand is correct, however I'd chop that one anyway. Keep it simple right?

Here is a visual guide to back what Sand is saying.

Once again thanx a ton everyone!!!! As far as airy buds, yes I don't mind them being dense BUT I hav other crops also flowering so its not as important at this time I jus want to b able to go thru the entire process so I can hav that firat expierience under my belt as far as curing and drying. My skunk and blue dream are also in weeks 9 of flower and while bluedrram is behind by weeks skunk isn't too far behind..and I have clones near the same timeframe which were 12/12 from the start....I'm more concerned of potency...I do not believe the durban poison will last too much longer seeing as how I've alrrady been flushing and leaves are yellowing. Bt I don't wanna pull her and she won't get me high then ill feel like a waste...as for yield, I'm not con
