Okay So this is one of my plants that i have had in flowering for 9 weeks now under 4 42watt CFL's and 2 50watt fluorescent tubes.. Now i yet have to pick up a scope to look at the triches.. But give me a estimate! This is bagseed so i don't know what strain it is. +Rep to people who help me out with this thanks guys..:bigjoint:

Squeeze the buds and if they are hard then it could be ready. Ya need a scope. When the hairs turn brown thats a indicator that they are getting ripe.

You definately need to get a microscope to check the trichs, you can get one for 15 bucks at radioshack, or you can let it go a little longer untill untill the leaves begin to turn yellow, or another better option is to flush your plants soil for two weeks and and then the buds should definately be ready!!! Hope I helped a little.

looking nice and like a sativa. gotta check those trichs but to guess...at least 10 days probably more. I wouldnt have started to flush so soon.

Have the leaves changed yellow at all for you, if not you could flush it a little longer, but if your anxious you could always go for the head high and harvest when your done with your current flush, pull off a leaf and taste the juices on the end, if its bitter its still got nitrogen in it, if its clean tasting like water, its clean as a whistle, sometimes the leaves just wont change!!!

But my other ones are not even close to being done.. And this bud is going to be used for socializing with my friends so i want it to be atleast a good high

the scopes are $10 at radioshack. looks like you almost have half brown hairs. why not just harvest the top 1/3rd of the plant, EXCEPT FOR THE MAIN COLA AND CLOSE SIDE BRANCHES, and let the rest to finish up?
you will get high, she is probably getting close to peak capacity, but just keep in mind your high will def be more energenic and alot less couchy, which in my book is A-OK.
just dont plan on smoking and going to sleep right away. excellent for socializing.
air dry them for at least a week or less if u are going to denug right away. have to be cured at least 3-4 days.
after that, the shit will be decent, just not maybe as strong as if fully dried and cured.
but yeah, go ahead and enjoy some fruits of your labor
only my 2 cents
