So far first day into week 9 of flowering.

This is my first grow and I am not really sure when to harvest.

I am still learning as I go, I did my final res change last week, but the plant keep turning the green leaves brown like that, so I am guess it will be soon time to harvest, I heard its when 75% of the white hair turn brown I just don't have the eye of when to do it.

Took these pics.

You most likely want to harvest when the vast majority of trichomes are cloudy with a few amber and a few clear.

When the majority of trichs are amber, you've degraded a lot of your THC.

From the feed back you guys give me I guess I will be harvesting soon, but I have one problem I did a res change (new water new nutes) last week.

I just dumped the res now, and added only RO water to the res. So I am starting my flush now, I am worried that I started little late.

How long should the flushing process last?

I took some picture of using my phone ( http://removeandreplace.com/2013/09/22/make-super-zoom-camera-magnifier-using-iphone/ ) From the looks of it, they are reaching the 60% amber mark real soon.

I don't have any real experience to say whether or not there would be beans in those but from all the amber in those pics I would be harvesting now. Forget the flush.

Only my personal opinion. Not based on anything solid.

That plant is done. The calyxes have closed off around the pistils which is a sign of being truly ripe. THESE ARE NOT BEANS. That is actually really good bud structure. The leaves are burnt so you should have backed off on the nutrients a little. Good job. You have time though. Just flush for 3 days with regular ph water and chop her down man.

yeah thats no male, those buds look super fluffy and ready to chop down. Nice crop overall.
Those are some crazy looking buds though, I dont think I've ever seen ones like that before -they do look lovely

Definantly harvest time as soon as possible. Them look like really over swollen calyx and the buds foxtailed. I think I can even see some nanners, the very lime green points sticking out of the buds.
BTW do you know what strain this is?
