OKAY, SO THIS IS MY FIRST GROW SO AM A LITTLE UNSURE. THIS IS BAGSEED AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT STRAND. I HAVE DONE ALOT OF RESEARCH OVER THE LAST FEW MONTH AND I KNOW THAT I SHOULD REALLY BUY A MAGNIFIER BUT I AM POOR LOL AND I HAVE READ ALOT OF PLACES THERE IS TOO MANY VARIABLES TO JUST TRUST THE TRICHS ALONE. SO I WAS HOPING IF YOUS EXPERIENCED GROWERS COULD HELP ME WITH MY PLANTS AND GIVE ME THEIR INPUT BY LOOKING AT MY PICTURES. (SORRY ABOUT THE CRAPPY PICS BTW).
MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT THE PISTILS ON THE TOPS OF THE PLANT ARE MOSTLY TURNING BROWN AND I AM ONLY 38 DAYS INTO 12/12. I VEGGED 18/6 FOR 42 DAYS, MY FIRST PREFLOWERS WAS AROUND 32 DAYS BUT I WANTED TO VEG A LITTLE LONGER.
HOWEVER, BUDS LOWER DOWN WHICH THERE IS A PIC OF ARE MAINLY WHITE. I DONT WANT TO DO A STAGGERED HARVEST BECAUSE MY GROW ROOM IS THE ONLY PLACE I CAN DRY MY BUD AND I CANT DRY BUD UNDER A 400W HPS IF YOUS ALL GET MY DRIFT.
ANY WAYS HERE IS MY PICS OF THE PANT AND ITS BUDS FOR YOUS TO GIVE YOUR OPINIONS ON HOW LONG IS LEFT AND ANY COMMENTS, TIPS ON WHERE I COULD TRIM MY PLANYS ETC WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.
OH YEAH NEARLY FORGOT THE LAST PIC IS OF MY BARNEYS FARM BLUE CHESE BUD I PUT IN CAUSE I THINK SHES HOT:bigjoint:

I'd say you have 2, maybe 3 weeks left to flower. The pistils turning red at top are probably from the heat of the light (they'll dry out faster). I don't think you need to trim anything there - looking good. You could dry the flowers in a cardboard box like the old-schoolers :)

Looks like you are going to have some sweet buds! Good luck!

So would you say now would be a good time to start flushing ?

It's all a matter of opinion, in my opinion. It's got enough brown hairs and is trichy, so it'll obviously get you stoned, just a matter of preference and if you think they are "done" enough for you.

two or three weeks as well. Probably three. You want those nuggets to get nice and plump, which they will do in the last couple weeks of flowering. I'd feed her one more time and then go with plain water. It's really hard to be patient when your buds are looking good.

Well i dont have an opinion because like i said before this is my first grow and have nothing to compare it to. Which is why i asked what more experienced growers thought of the matter. I dont care if i get couch lock from trichs turning amber just dont want to pick them while theyre still growin and not ripe but at the same time i dont want them to go over and lose potency. Too many smart ass pricks on this site. Did i not make my self clear enough to you i want your opinion on how long to leave it.

The trichs will go from clear to milky to amber to brown. Watch the Trichs, not the hairs. A good magnifying type instrument is needed. Amber is the over-all color you want. Amber is more of a high. Brown trichs is more of a stone. But beware, once the trichs are brown, the THC concentration starts to deteriate rapidly. Some strains is naturally good for Highs, some are for Stones. To try to alter the highs VS Stone by munipulating the amber vs the brown is a side experiment. I harvest when the amber is prominate, which will have a few brown trichs in the mix. This process is important, but don't under estimate the importance of the Curing process. This can be the difference between very good shit to kick-ass, smooth shit.

they aren't ready at all. Way too early. Two weeks left at least. You could take kizzz's advice if you want some shitty herb. Let all or most of the hairs change color. At the point where it is hard to spot white hairs, your plant is ripe. Let em go till they're done and you won't be dissappointed. Don't dry your herb in cardboard unless you want your buds to taste like cardboard. plain and simple. Why spend all the time growing and caring for the plant, just do dry and cure half-assed. I say wait it out and hang dry in the G room then cure in glass. Beware of newbs that are quick to give advice when they lack growing experience.

So I got called a prick, a noob and other things in the same post. Awesome. Glad to know that you all are the gurus of growing an know everything about it. Awesome job guys.

Sorry that you don't understand strain dependency and personal preference you fucking downy.


This site is full of fucking losers.

I just cut one of my plants probably a week or two earlier than I normally would and I'm currently smoking on it, uncured, just dried, and it's getting me stoned as hell. Anyone that thinks you HAVE to wait passed the point he is at is the "noob" and hasn't grown enough plants to try out cutting slightly "early".
