How many weeks more??

Hullo!

After this is my first grow, I have no idea, when the plants are ready to be cut off. They are like 9 weeks in flowering time and they are not under hps so the resoults are not as good as if they were. So I'm asking you for little help - how much more??

looks to me like u could dry that now, tag it and bag it brotha if i was u

Is that a joke?? I would love to, I just dont wanna screw it up. I personally think it is too soon so I'm asking you, I'm open minded person.

depending on what smoke u want, you could go for the smoother hit and harvest now, or wait for a little more cough-lock rougher stuff, you'll get good results either way, cfls will produce a fine smoke if you don't mind those airy loose buds, good luck brotha

GOOD JOB!! Toke it..to choke it.KEEP SMOKE ALIVE!!

Nice job!!!!!!!!!! take the time and dry it right.

Hello! I thank you all for your answers. You've surprised me and offcourse convinced me. Yeah, it really might be time to cut them off. Here just some more pictures to show you how they look. They were under direct sunlight, it was just that there was not enough of it. The weather was really bad for like 3 weeks.

So, cut them??

looks like a lil longer....have u checked the trichs????? looks like it can get fatter..

Trichs are the hairs or what?

What?! i don't follow....

trics are the crystils..

flush with ph'd water and then 1.5/2 weeks harvest......and enjoy

Leave em at least for 2-3 weeks more(?).Buds will be more compact and blueberry could-should make biggger buds leave em for a while and check the progress.If ther's no more changes go for it.Enjoy and one for me.

the trichomes are the crystals, they should look opaque and amber color under magnification. I think you have a long time left to go. I am learning and forgive me if I am wrong, but aren't we all learning still. I am learning that if you can afford to not be smoking your plants and grow them they will yield massive buds, a bud will lose about 1/4 of it's mass on drying. If you think about it most of those buds won't fill a bowl. grow your plant until it starts to wilt, if you're patient you will know the day. The longest bud i had was nine months. at this point the buds are so ridiculously tight you'll shit. the thing is we were always told "just cut it when the hairs are red". THIS IS AN EXPENISIVE MISTAKE. Take my advice or leave it, I think you should buy weed if you have to, but let it grow. get hps. get ASK ED. have one experimental plant with each grow. stress it over water it over fert it.try to kill it....someday you'll learn something, it's a weed. it behaves like a weed, and if you grow a weed long enough it'll be a good, HEAVY fuckin weed. good luck, grow strong. NO STRESS

Hello!

Thank you for all your words, I totally agree with them. Sure I will leave them for a while, it's just that I whink that the bigest is almost done - it has lot of red hairs and the leaves has started to wither. Here is the image, resize it as much as you can and make an opinion. I think that the biggest master kush is almost ready to go.

Here you can see how the plant looked 1 month ago.

Once all the pistols (hairs) turn red, they will recede into their "false seed pods" they will swell with THC and the trichomes will swell to the point of almost bursting, they appear to be cloudy if you look at them close. they look like they're on their way but they still have some time. what are you using for fertilizer? what kind of lights? and I think you need to re-pot them. Otherwise, they look way dank. Keep it up.

not done yet

leave it till it looks like weed dude...that shit aint even close to close to done. maybe a month bro. and yes I meant close to close...it's just not...but it does look good

The general rule is to harvest when your trichs are about 75% Red/brown but that doesn't apply to all strains. Your buds do not look fully developed yet, also, you need to stop giving nutes and just use water for the last week or two to get a smoother and cleaner taste. 25% of your buds weight is put on in the last 10 days or so.
If you are not sure, then what you are doing is the best idea, ask people on here and go with the majority and/or those who have experience growing your strain.
I am on my first grow but I have a friend who has grown for several years and I've helped him with many a harvest. If you have a few plants you should maybe just harvest one - or even part of one - and see how it is first before you cut them all down.
Good luck, I'm sure you will enjoy the fruits of your labour.
patience is key. theres nothing worse than spending a few months on something then nausing it up for the sake of another week or so.

Looks like you,ve done a great job so far.
