these are buds, right?

Outdoor grow, now almost 7' tall. She filled out beautifully in the last 2 weeks, and I think these are buds.

Originally, I thought these were just new leaf clusters, but the bunch of little white hairs has me suspecting otherwise.

Any thoughts? Ideas on when she might be ready to harvest here in southern New England?

Yes those are buds & just a wild guess would be somewhere around 7-8 more weeks.
Watch for high humidity/extended storms etc once the buds start packing on weight - you wouldn't want mold or rot to get her.

very nice looking plant, i'd let her go many more weeks if your weather allows, looks fairly sativa dominant so may take a while but she's lovely indeed :clap:

thanks for the replies and the compliments!

She has been fed nothing more than Miracle Grow on a weekly basis and gets watered twice daily. The soil gets bone dry within hours and she is now too big to re-pot. Its really been amazing to watch her grow, and tend to her for the past 9 weeks.

Almost seems like a shame to just burn her.

I would repot that bad girl in a pot three times the size. Easy to do let dry for one day prepare the other pot and did a hold in the dirt so your existing pot slides in and out. Tap the sides lift her out and put her right in the new one. A plant that big in a pot that small is going to wind up root bound before she is done.

It is a fantastic looking plant and with a huge pot it will have a giant yield.

Great job bro,

Repot. With help! 2 other people if possible. She'll handle it fine. Your yield will be much larger and her health better the remaining time.

Not to say you are wrong but root bound will not effect the plant at this stage atleast from what I have found new flower growth does not require new root growth root growth slows down after 2-3 weeks of flowering and at this point my recommendation is not risking it specially if you were unaware that is was budding then I would assume you are fairly new to growing and recommend not risking repotting and damaging roots but like I said this is just my option :) But great looking plant!

will not strees the plant mouch ..

and Im sure a repot now is a good move ... yes a flowering plant wont grow mouch root after the fist few weeks ..
but I dont belive your ther yet and if you allready have to water twise a day I say more space would do wonders ..

looks nice I would put her in the ground myself. looks like you are secluded. your plant will get way bigger, if you dont have to limit the root space don't. just my opinion....

First....I have 2 sign in names. That's my baby out by the pool. When I try to log in on my iPad, v. My reg. computer, the iPad won't accept my passwords or my other account. So screw it, 2 names, same geezer growing some weed in the back yard.

I have no f'n idea what strain this is. THe seed came out of a poorly rolled joint from back in may. I took the seed and pushed it into a flower pot and shazam, 2 weeks later I have a baby girl growing that I wasn't expecting.

I would agree with the others, if you want to re-pot you need to do it soon, otherwise it'll get too stressed out. It might already be too late, bud growth indicates the end of the stretch phase and the start of true flowering. This means the plant will slow its root growth to focus on bud production, so a transplant would be just a useless stress to the plant.

in the ground now .. you wont regret it .. I wouldn't hesitate a sec. will do it so mouch good .. and if done carefully and fast .. with the hole prepard with some nice fresh soil in it and a few friends to help loos the plant and drop it in right away it wont stress it mouch .. a few days max .. a root bound plant in flowering will realy suffer .. can be the diffrent between 300 grams or close to a pound .. not to talk quality ...
