You still have some time bro. Want to harvest somewhere aroun 10-15% amber. Everyone has there own window they look for. Just go buy a cheap scope. Under $20 bucks. Watch the buds with it. You can tell also without using one. But it helps.

Yes thanks. Any estimate in weeks gone, or weeks to go based on the photos?

I agree on the scope. Took me 5 grows to figure out what the hell I was doing. Do not look to much into the breeders time on packs. That just an estimate. A lot depends on your growing conditions, lighting, and specific phenos of said plant. I just finished a RP Headband that breeders estimate as like 9-10 week strain. I took her to 84 days, yep 12 weeks. Its the best move to date for me. Being patient paid off with perfectly ripe and super potent stash for my jars. The few that I let in my headstash are just amazed! Learn early on to be patient with your plants and you will have great success with your grows. But get a microscope of some kind.

Thank you. Yes this has been my biggest problem i think. You want to have it done to smoke it. And you are afraid of it dying and losing all your smoke. Should probably give it a good 4 more weeks i guess. Will see if i can make it that long :P

No just thinking maybe another 2 weeks. Thats a estimate though. Most strains I've been dealing with have been 70+ days. I usually do OG strains. My Purple Cookie Monster went 68 days. Tell you the truth I should of took her about 75. Was needing my grow box for my vegging plants that were out growing there box.

Looks like it has 2-3 more weeks. You want to harvest with as many cloudy as possible. 10-15% amber is too much. Amber trichomes are CBN which is degraded THC. Has little to no potency. So if you harvest at 10-15% you wasted 10-15% of your plants potential.

Why I said everyone has their own views. 10-15% is perfect to me.

If you want to harvest with degraded thc that's your decision. To get the most out of the plant that's not what someone would want to do. Besides what I said isn't an opinion it's fact.

Thus, in the CBN series, the selectivity of binding observed with the removal of the hydroxy group is decreased severalfold as compared to what occurs in the THC series.

My first few grows, I was impatient from the moment the seeds germed! All I could think about was finished potent bud! I rushed veg to get to flower and I flowered to 8 weeks exactly! O think many new growers can not wait to smoke their product. It just makes you so anxious. But once you figure it out and see that indoor growing is about patience and getting knowledge. You will get good support here. Don't confuse a person with a high number of post to be all knowledgeable. That is not the case! Also the opposite with people with few post. What counts is how much experience one has. Some of the stuff is basic. Harvesting at the proper time seems to be the most sought after advice when just getting started. Followed closely by " How much yield can I expect". Eventually you will see that quality trumps quantity anytime. I'd rather have 1 oz of super potent fire weed than 1.5 oz's of just ok stuff. Trust me on this one. I'm sure many will agree with me. Unless they are grow commercially for just the concern of profit. Us personal growers are in search of FIRE!

Well said bro. Can't rep you again. Like what you said as well "us personal growers are in search of fire". That is true. I'm more of a connoisseur now. A few of my boys give me shit. But I do a few different strains for variety not quantity. I'm for quality.

Those look damn good for a 400w. Batwing reflector? Is it bag seed?

Cooltube with small reflector http://www.basementlighting.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/cooltube_reflector.jpg They would not look as good if i hadnt just taken off all the necrotic leafs :P. But they sure are pretty. Hopefully my pH correction will let them mature with dignity. I do not remember 100%. But i think its Afghan Skunk from some lesser known seedcompany. Supposedly they would be "fast finishing" Would a bigger reflector benefit me much? First grow btw.

I may be new to this website but I find it bold if you to say that is fact not opinion because there is no set % to harvest on it all depends on the plant and what kind of high you want more cbd is more of a couch lock body high and also useful for people who have seizures and other illnesses, not everyone grows to get as head high as they can there are different medical and smoking benefits to other harvest times. Also as it dries it continues to ripen so that should be taken into account. Not trying to put anyone down just my 2cents
