These are my Indica Dominant bagseed plants. They were 57 days into flowering cycle when these pictures were taken. However, they didn't start showing signs of flowering after being a 10 days into the flowering cycle, maybe I shocked them? ANYWAYS...I wanted your opinion on how much longer these babies need to go before I should start flushing them. I haven't checked trichs yet because I know it's too early, I just want to get an idea of how long I have to go. :bigjoint: Plants are in a soil blend by me, using 12 cfls and foxfarm tiger bloom nutes. Please Give me all your opinions and input of the quality of the buds, and how long they have. Thank you!

Oh and btw..I know one plant is heat stressed a little, nothing I can really do about it I fixed the problem and It hasn't gotten any worse..some of the sugar leaves on the cola just look a little "crispy"

great pics!! They look really healthy. Don't get antsy at all....they are still young. They will really start to fill out and those calyxs will get plump. I would definately invest in a handheld microscope. They are like 20 bucks and it's the only REAL way to know when they are ready. You can tweek the high slightly by what color you harvest the trichomes at.

they are looking pretty nice m8.. i would say a loose estimate would be like another two or three weeks atleast.. but like the above poster said, the only way to know for sure is to invest in a jewlers loupe or a handheld microscope and check the trics. nice job.. they look great.. i always like the saying... when you think they are done, give em another week..

you still have a little ways to go. I would wait atleast 3 weeks. On you next grow you should try to have a little less nitrogen in the soil while your flowering.

Is it too late to compensate for the nitrogen now? I thought I read somewhere about something you can add to your nuted water to compensate for nitrogen. How do you think they are looking though?

I wouldnt worry about the nitro at this point. your plants are coming along just fine. yeah, you probably should have cut the nitrogen part of your regimen off about a week or two sooner than you did, but she looks just fine man, especially for bagseed.

As for how much time left, 2-3 wks is an accurate estimate IMHO. There is also another sign to look out for when trying to guesstimate when your girls are done. Not a color change in trichomes(which is the best way to tell absolutely), but take a look at your pistils. The color change of the pistils isn't what im talking about though. When Your in the final week(round aboutly) of flowering, you will see your pistils recede into the bud. Theyll retract, and the buds actually take on an entirely different look in my opinion. when youre about ready to harvest, chop 90% of everything you've grown, but leave 10% to grow for another week, or even longer if you think need be. If you think theyre ready, but arent 100% positive, what this will do is give you a definitive answer as to the difference between what an almost ready nug looks like, and what a completely done nug looks like. experiment with each harvest until you know what your own personal preference is. But what youll find out in the long run, is that when your nugs are completely finished, you wont need to ask anybody wether they think its done or not.

BUMP!! looking for more opinions. It has been a week now since these pics were posted. The buds seemed to have grown again but in a strange way. Some of them shot up another half inch or so with all new white pistils. I'll get some pictures up but I thought it was strange. It was only one one of my plants though. And another question I have is, doesn't it look like the lower buds are farther along than the colas? I thought it was the other way around?
