One fingered beauty, when oh when can I harvest?

Planted this lady in June, it is now November here in the Midwest four state area.... I have resorted to bringing her inside at night...due to housing circumstances she's been thrown in and out of veg twice now...obviously has some nute issues, and I'll never use miracle gro potting soil again...but for my first grow, planting a seed from bag off the street...I have high expectations for this one. What do you think? How long should I wait to cut it down? Should I harvest the more ripe buds from the mid section and leave the top to go? (That I can probably say I'll do anyway) and is there a way to flush mg soil? Or can I yank the plant and put its roots into some ro water a day before hanging? These pics are all from this plant. Not sure on strain...most likely a GDP from a friends grow.

i would say not at all close to be ready
but youre running out of time if you cannot bring her inside and temps are dropping pretty quickly soon.
if oyu get one of those micros for jewelry you can look closer at the hairs
heres a good infograph

Unfortunately she is not close, you will have to try and let her mature some more. The buds are just starting to gro, see if you can at least wait until the white pistils stat to go into the buds and the rest turn amber.

Id toss that plant...its covered in mold

Its not looking healthy at all

I guess if u want to smoke straight hairs and no bud. But for the flushing question you can flush with twice the gallons of soil that u have. And don't yank anything just flush in the soil. Also why u ask questions. And want opinions if u say u probably gonna do what u want anyways. smh

Wow I really really like this rubric/guide. Not sure I can agree with everything on here but it's definitely a good set of rules when folks are wondering "do I cut it or not yet?"

Mold!!?? There's no mold, sir...I am battling spider mites tho. First grow, first plant..just trying to salvage her so I'll have a nice Christmas. The white hairs are receding...there are around 15% turned to Amber. Due to an absurd amount of stretching, this plant has tiny, tight popcorn size buds allll over it..the top is not as ready as the middle, only one fingered leaves left on it...It's not normal or healthy...this I know lol. As far as taking advice, u must have.never met a real chick from Missouri before So...how can I expect to get a real flush with miracle grow soil? More water equals more release if nutes from what I've experienced. Am I wrong?

Dying leaves...lots of gland action...tiny buds...been in flower since late august...ugh.

So, IM wondering why you have high expectations for a plant that you know for fact has been revegged, fucky light cycles and is covered in mold....all that dingy greyness is mold. Oh then you have mites ontop of it already? damn lady

Cut it, dry it, cure it, smoke it. That's what you want to hear. Most importantly, figure out where you went wrong and try again next year. Smoking moldy bud is not good for you, but hey it is 'free' and they are your lungs.

this plant is saturated in mold my friend and it is dying quick look at all the dead growth with at least another 5 weeks to go i'd toss that quick unless you like having sores in your mouth and crap in your lungs better luck next cycle

Pretty sure you haven't got a clue what you are looking at...are you using a flip phone? It's a bad burn because I'm using mg. Potting soil. It's been in flower since day 30 of veg, there are prolific colonies of dying spider mites all over 2 branches, and it got crushed by a pallet in a windstorm last month LOL!! All things considered, that test bud I tried last week was impressive....stretched and sparse and green, but that classic GDP shined right through. I'm not worried, and its not mold. Mold does not begin at the tips of the leaves and cause ' the claw'. As for harvest time...I've got at least 2 shitty buds almost ready, the calyx are turning purple and swallowing up the pistils, and then trichs on the calyx are milky, purple, and gold. My only issue is the middle branches seem dense and dank, then uppers are green and sparse and clearly not ripe....because it was tossed between flower and veg. (Fuck weather in the four states) so I'll have to harvest in stages. Smh. I feel ashamed to have slaughtered this plant the way I did...it had so much potential...the last pic is before the summer storms, aphid wars, and flooding. So embarrasing.

Anyway..I know its crap and I screwed it up. Lol. But thanks for everyone's advice helping me finish up my first plant. I've learned much...mostly to double triple and re check before you take advice from anyone. And not to use miracle grow products. But thanks to all.

Lmfao...nooooooo...those are frosty trichromes covering purple clayxs. It's not mold...here's a shot of it in the sun, rather than with my crappy cell. Thats why high expectations...this thing reeks like grape candy, and the glands...omfg..plus the strain. I thought it was mold when it started trichs during preflower. I freaked, and started using neem oil when I misted in the morning... And I'm pretty sure mold isn't clear sparkly and smell like grape bubblegum. But thanks for a heads up.

Bud rot....

Lmfao....yessssss.....thats botrytis on your buds causing your leaves to die...Im not going to argue with you...everyones wrong and you are right k. denial will only hold you back from you learning experience. gl in the future

Well...I just can't understand why you think it looks like rot. Are you zooming in at all? This is not my first time growing any plant...just a cannabis.... It's hilarious to us that it looks like mold...cuz its just so weird that as unhealthy as it is that it's THAT soaked in trichromes. It's gotta be the flash on my phone that makes it look like crap. There's no grey...its purple, and it sparkles...and it keeps growing....and sparkling...and stinking...mmmm

I had to cut it down...going to move. Smoked my scissor hash and I'm so happy I can't believe...all goes to show the power is in the strain I suppose, because this plant was on her last leg at harvest time...and I'm thrilled with the results. Just sayin.

about a pound...?
