Hello, have what was called bubba kush seed grown from seedling. Not sure if it is time to harvest as I have lost track of the weeks :-( Also, i do not have a microscope/loupe but i do have some photos. Can anyone tell? The trich's look cloudy to me with some amber but am unsure? Also this is a popcorn from the very bottom of the plant. So is it time to start flushing as i have been for 4 days so far with molasses? Also, if they are just cloudy, how long will it take for amber? The tips have all started to yellow, but I do not see much amber hairs beside like maybe 20% the rest are white and the plant is still much alive. Thanks for the help

can you make a guess as to how many weeks it has been, some of the pics it looks like 3 or 4.

To get help you are going to have to meet people half way and provide at least some Basic Information.

About 7-8 now that I am remembering. Took some time to start flowering after switching to 12/12. Hairs are changing colors, about 20-30% or so. Had to also LST bc of height. Thanks for the reply.

Well the Lst slows it down a little because it grows more and its "low stress" if your at about 20-30% white hairs, give it another 2-4weeks. Post more pics throughout the time period. You want at LEAST 90% orange/amber hairs

Also wait for the yellowing and shedding of leaves. The plant will let you know when its almost done

ok if you dont have either of a loop or a microscope, i use either my riffle scope or a pair of bi-n oculars and use my phone as a zoom, so put the eye end over the camera on the phone and just zoom right on in there and you will see the clarity of your trich's. good luck with the harvest.. full cola pics will help also..

For sure will post more photos. I'm thinking I have about 2 more weeks left. As the plant took forever to even start flowering. Say about 2 weeks it took. Thanks for the help, everyone. More hairs are starting to change colors. Haha if I got another 7 weeks, which I highly doubt I do Id be pulling probably a half pound of more from a 400 mh/hps

400W HPS will only pull off a pound if you fill approximately 3x3 feet of space with a nice canopy with complete coverage, and healthy looking plants. Not one tall sickly plants with uneven/unfull canopy coverage. Only a sea of green, scrog, or some variant that evenly fills a canopy evenly will yield that well.

Dude, you're nuts if you think 2 weeks. lol. Those have quite awhile to go. I wouldn't say 7, but at least 4. Remember that the last 2 weeks of flower they put on the most weight usually, so don't cut too soon. Be patient. Those aren't anywhere near done.

Must be longer then 10 week plant then as its been about 7-8 weeks. I got a pair of binoculars to Check trichomes. Thanks everyone for the help. Posting photos here soon. And my plant isn't sickly lol, it just had to be LSTd like crazy, I am going with strawberry haze, white widow, cheese, and green poision next time around. With 2 400s MH/HPS, SUPER NRG bulbs. I am also going to get some Mylar/co2. If I purchased a bottle of c02, how do you use it? Just open it a few times a day or what? Anyone care to chime in?

Lol well I know it isn't done. That was to try and get a macro trichome shot, but didn't work :\ I wanted to get other opinions is all. As I kind of think it might be better to harvest the main cola, then lower the light so the bottom of the plant gets more light since I am only using a 400 watt hps super NRG bulb. Dont want to go too late into harvest where i cannot lower the light, I believe it pumps out like 54k lumens or so. I do have another 400 watt hps I could throw on it but not sure how Much more it would cost to run the 2nd 400, also have another hood and magnetic 400hps so technically 2 400 digis and 1 400 magnetic. Think it would be worth it to harvest the main cola then lower the light and harvest the bottom part of the plant?

Next round I am going to use both 400 digis on strawberry haze/bubba Kush/cheese/white widow/green poision. Will be investing In a filter/fan combo and possibly a tent/c02 as I found a dispenser/regulator on eBay for 40$ or so. And I can get a 20 pound tank for 120$ ill make a journal next time around :)

Don't harvest any part of that plant for atleast 5-6 weeks> possibly 7 like previously mentioned.

If you cut it in 2 weeks it will be a huge mistake + you will regret it when you smoke some.
