But really I was just being a smart ass. LOL, honestly if they was mine it would be more like 2 weeks or less. Probably less.

Really at the point their at, I'd say its personal preference. Everyone likes their buds how they like them. Here's a great stoned random thought- What if the administration of RIU made a section just for the "is it done yet" questions?!?!

Thats kinda what I was getting at... its such a common question.

I'm fairly experienced... so I kinda know i have 10ish days left with these ones... but i still like asking and chatting about it!

Like how can u guys tell from those pics I can't tell maybe because I'm on my phone but I can't see if there milky cloudy or clear?
There isn't even a reason to be checking trichomes when there are that many fresh, white pistils showing on the flowers because they are a clear indication that the buds have not reached maturity. On top of that the calyx are still underdeveloped and will probably add at least 20% more weight to final yield if left to mature and ripen properly. People get very hung up on trichomes but ignore the more general signs of ripeness because they've not been taught what those signs are. Pistils should typically have changed color from white and will appear to have receded into the flowers, and little to no new pistil growth will be seen. Only when the buds look generally ripe do I even bother getting my loupe out. Good luck.

I agree. There are 2 strains here tho... diesel... thats the close shots normally takes less time. And the kosher sorbet is the one with more fresh pistles.

They a need to come down together though as its a pain in the arsenal cropping

Oh for sure, I was more directing that to Rdubz who was asking how we all could tell that more time was required. You seem knowledgeable enough based on your first post and I tend to avoid telling growers with some experience when to harvest. Just trying to give Rdubz some tips. The plants look great btw!

Yeah they look tasty... and the diesel smells sweet... not sure if the molasses actually made the buds sweet or not but that stuff is great. From week 3 early molasses feed with some bat !


Yeah that looks good... how big are the plants overall?

Well I use un-sulphered molasses every other watering during flower and always have. My buds seem to satisfy me wi trichomes, taste and beauty! I just have one runtz muffin in a 3 gallon super soil. Vegged about 40 days, flipped on dec. 7 top dressed with dry nutes and then a thin layer of good organic soil every 2 weeks. . Might get 2-3 zips dry of some Barneys Farm.
