looks ready to me. plenty of amber heads. =D dude... wat the FUCK did u grow that thing under!! u may wanna drug test ur plants.... cuz it looks like theyve been on steroids for quite sum time!! have u started to flush yet? if u havent... then start flushin now. and try to hold off another week. if u r wantin to smoke... chop off a smaller bud.. towards the bottom and smoke that while u flush. =) and that way youll have a lil sample of wats to come. =D very nicely done tho. +Rep

I was reading through Ed Rosenthal's book and he says:
"With sinsemilla, some marijuana varieties have an extended bloom that may last more than two months. With this rhythm, the rate at which the buds form is drawn out, and progresses at a slower but steadier pace. The point at which the bloom is essentially over may not be as obvious as in the first case. Here, use the condition of the buds to make your decision. Stigmas wither first at the base of the buds (older flowers). Those stigmas at the top of the buds (younger) will still be white and healthy, although their tips are often brown. Harvest the plants when about half the stigmas in the buds have withered. The coating of resin glands should still be clear or white, with only a few golden or browned gland heads."
And that's exactly what I have going on to the T. Each bud is covered in milky crystals and a few amber crystals. I am thinking about either taking it all down or at least few branches now. And as far as flushing goes I am still fairly new and believe experience is the best teacher. I have flushed on my first grows and wouldn't mind learning for my self that flushing isn't need. What are your thoughts about taking part of the plant now unflushed and the rest in a week flushed?

that quote is very true. =) thats wen i like to harvest. with a few amber heads... wen u harvest affect the type of high u will get as well... obviously if the plant is an indica dominant strain.. then the high will be more indica.. and same for sativa... but u harvest early... with all milky heads. and no amber heads.. it will give u more of an uplifting high... and sayyy u were to let it go until all the heads were amber.. then u would get a very narcotic high! u would smoke it and melt into the couch.. hahaha. and probly be asleep within the hour.. keep this in mind wen harvesting.. u be the judge of wat kind of high u want. =)
and yes u can do that. i have done this before... i was out of smoke.. and i harvested most of the lower branches and left the main branches to finish up for another week. wen u take downt he branches.. look for the ones that look more "done" that will give the plant more time to finish up the other buds. they will finish alot quicker too because the plant will be puting ALL its energy into the buds u have left. =) lemme kno how it goes man

yeah? that's what the pack said they were.....I got them free when I ordered a bunch of others from EDIT - everyone does it .com - If there not N.L. do they at least look done or almost done??
ya. they look done. they look half smoked already. What are your grow room temps?

during the day it ranges from 73-76 degrees F. at night drops about 10 degrees - should I chop them 2morrow? do they look bad?, cause their really dense and smell insane.....

theirs dying and brownish leaves cause I stopped nutes like 10 days ago and I was away for the past 5 days and had to leave the door closed, so It might have gotten hotter in there

to me, they kinda look cloudy, but im still a newbie I attached a pic, maybe you can tell.....Thanks
Its touph to tell from a photo. The camera lens picks up too much glare off the trichomes. I'm guessing it would be ok to chop down now I think, or if you want to go another 5-7 days that would be ok too. I don't see any immediate rush other than dead leaves. Living green leaves breathe and use the moisture they take in. But dead leaves get soggy when they are wet, and if you're not careful with airflow and the humidity, they will stick to your buds and get moldy.

I just cleaned off all the dead leaves, I'm gonna prepare to chop it down tomorrow or Tuesday, humidity in there is at 50% and I got 2 ceiling vents and a bunch of fans, so airflow is good, Thanks for your input, much appreciated!!!

Hello! We harvested most of our plants' tops just yesterday (our first grow). If you did respond to our pics yesterday before we cut, excuse me for getting confused (still trying to get used to this website). My profile pic shows me holding the biggest cola we grew. We also took some pics 30x mag and got a little feedback. Next harvest time we definitely will send you everything you need to help us out
