How much longer do you think she has to go?

This was suppose to be a sativa that takes about 11 weeks to flower but turned out to be an indica so I don't have a flowering time guideline to follow. These pics were taken when she was 32 days into flowering. About 3/4 of the hairs are still white. New growth popped out about 3 days ago and the calyxes started to swell about 2 days before that but are still relatively small. The crystals just started getting a frosty white color in the past few days also, but I have not inspected them under magnification yet. I know you can't accurate predict how an unknown strain will grow. I'm just trying to get an idea of how long people think it will take so I can try and flush about 2 weeks before I harvest. I don't want to over or undershoot the harvest date and create problems for myself. The link in my signature is to the grow log if anyone wants to get a better idea of how she has been going thus far.

get a mini microscope and harvest when she's done...

I have a loop and will harvest when she's done. What I was actually asking though was how long people think she might take to finish so I can flush without doing it too far in advance and starving her, or too late and she doesn't get a proper flushing.

what you have is a hybrid.. looks lil bit more sativa leaning. if your at about 5 weeks into bloom in those pics id say another 3-4 weeks......
 
4 weeks max bro. Very nice grow you have there, how much would you say you're going to get out of this? Looks like a good 5-6 oz from here.

I wish. It will probably be more like 1.5 oz when it's done I think. Depending on just how much she fattens up.

Last year I ordered Brazil x KC and Mindbender by KC Brains from an online seed bank. I had heard about KC's seeds before and how they are reliable and known for being huge producers of potent bud. They are also very cheap which is a plus. They were out of the Mindbender so they sent me a pack of TNR which is a monster sativa that gets over 4 meters tall outside and produces about 1-1.5kg per plant. On top of that they gave me a freebie of more TNR. I figured they were pretty much useless to me but I gave one a shot just to see if I could get one to fit in my grow box. She ended up being short and thick with fat, dark green leaves. When I enduced flowering she began to shed the big leaves and now she has a thinner, more sativa-like leaf. Lighter in color and thinner, but not extremely thin like a pure sativa. Plus she started showing hairs the second day of flowering. So I figured she must be mostly indica. I started LST'ing her around day 20 and topped around day 30. There are four branches producing good sized buds. Two of these have tiny colas growing up from them. They supply about half the bud on her. Most of the rest are branches directly off the trunk that have only one cola and they are all smaller buds. I lollipopped them because I didn't want a lot of popcorn bud and I didn't want to do a secondary harvest. I've also heard from multiple sources that this makes the remaining buds grow larger. I've heard some say it makes a larger yield and others say the yield stays the same, just no popcorn nugs. I don't think I took too much off. I removed all the growth that didn't have crystals or at least half a dozen hairs. Anything larger or that had crystals I left alone. I trimmed these bits off every couple of days to get rid of any that were coming back. Now just the buds are growing.

Here are some pics:
pic 1: 11 days
pic 2: 21 days
pic 3: 28 days
pic 4: 35 days
pics 5+6: 45 days
pics 7+8: day 5 flowering.
Pic 9: Day 9
Pic 10: Day 13 Flash broke. I'm using an LED head lamp
Pic 11: Day 21 Through the peep hole and yes I know about my temps. Doing the best I can
Pics 12-14: Day 28
Pic 15: Day 29
Pics 16+17: Day 30 New growth popped out the top of all the buds and the calyxes are beginning to swell. See that thick branch coming from the bottom in #16. It supports about 1/3 of all the buds.
Pics 18-21: Day 31 Got a new camera :)
Pics 22-25: Day 32

Here is my grow box. Two round tubs put together and line with a triple layer of duct tape (needed three layers to stop light from shining through. Four air intakes: two 1.5" and two 3". A 350 cfm axial exhaust fan going into a home made carbon air filter. A clear plastic spy window with a cloth drape lined with white duct tape. There are currently 5 cfl's inside it. One 23w 6500k, three 42w Sylvania 2700k, and three 42w GE unknown temp but somewhere around 3-5000k. They have more of a white color while the Sylvania are the normal yellowing tint. I've made modifications along the way which is why in one pic it looks a little different.
