Flowering for 9weeks. is that what you meant...it looks like a Sativa leaning strain so a few more weeks for sure...do you have a scope 30x-60x or even 100x. then you can look at the tri. and you will see when they are ready, depending what effect you want will determine when to harvest. Early; clear and partly cloudy= head high, Late; amber mostly cloudy= couchlock!

Mine is almost in week 6 indica leaning and 50% the hairs are brown, one more feed and then...start flushing for last 2 weeks all fan leaves are still nice and green. This is good? they should fade as I start flushing Ph adjusted water. Is this when the buds start to pack on the beef? last 2 weeks.

Timing when to harvest , if you look through a scope 30-60x, you will see clear,cloudy,or amber trichomes. which are the hairs on buds and leaves. on the tips of these hairs are little balls of resin. If they are clear,early, then you will have more of a head high, if they are more amber,later, then you get the body stoned effect.

Then again some will just go by amt of Redhairs on buds.

alright forsure.. with the drying and curing part should i just cut the bottom of the stem and hang the whole plant or branch by branch let it dry? and how long does it usually take to dry? like a few weeks or a month?
 
Did you cut off all your fan leaves? Dude you never do that when your your lady is so far along! You def just shocked your girl and it will take it a couple weeks to recover and your buds will not be close as fat as they would have been. The only time you ever want to do any kind of cutting is during vegging you can cut lower growth to maximize your top growth or topping for multiple colas. Your plant wont be done till mid october, stop cutting and start hitting that bitch with liquid molasses 2 tbls per gallon of water. When October comes arounnd and the buds are nice and swollen and the trics are golden in the sun light its done, trust me you will know just be patient. Havest about 5am trim your leaves and hang single branches not the whole plant. When your stems almost snap which will take 5-7 days do a final trim store in jars and store in dark place. open lid 2-3 times a day for 10min each and move buds around so moisture is spread evenly through out your jar. Do that till your desired crisp is reached then keep jars shut and store. Good luck

Not even close you only have the 1st layer of calyx's growing, when you have buds growing out of the sides of buds then your getting close. Looks outdoor. Check the outdoor forums, noone has harvested yet.
 
Patients long beach, you still have at least 3 weeks yet. Let her go till October and I promise you'll be thinking me. Did you get the liquid molasses to add microbes to your soil? Are their any grow shops close to you? If so run in and grab some bat guano that's high in phosphorus its like$8. Use for a couple weeks and then post some more pics around Sept 25 and ill let you know when to flush. Good luck bud

You have a few weeks still. All the white hairs should turn red and the trics will cause the buds too look golden when the amper up. Be patient.
