its hard to see in the crappy photo but about 50% of the pistils are died back.

just started week 8 on 12/12.this is my first grow and everything's been just peachy, it'd be a shame to mess it up now

Must be VERY Sativa for that long flowering... Definately has 3+weeks though from last picture!
Should be some head twisting or motivational happy Sativa.
 
Anybody think these calyxes are still a bit too white to harvest? Some look red and brown, others still closer to white.
Trichomes look 80% milky, 20% clear. No amber noticed yet under a 420 scope photo.JPGphoto (1).JPGphoto (3).JPGphoto (4).JPGphoto (5).JPG

This is my first harvest and I'm a bit ocd about when to chop her. Don't want to make a rookie mistake and do it too early. (Think Different auto 91 days)

Naw it's just new growth....
I swear its grew an inch in the last 3 weeks. She's bagseed so i dont know the strain. Its my first grow so i just went with what i had. Planted her dec 1st i believe an i flipped it christmas eve. Its under 12. (400-600w actual) CFL's. Should i be getting new growth still? I mean seriously what is taking this girl.

Hello, Please allow me to show off my latest girl and get your opinion on when to harvest.

I am a stealth personal medical grower and do one plant at a time in an 8x4 room. Wifey says only one and it's better than none! Since I only have one plant flowering at a time, I have the room for two 600 watt yield master two hoods with a lumitech dual 600 ballast. This allows the plant to spread out and really bud up. I use a 20 gallon felt growbag in a cement mixing bucket. My medium is a custom soil/compost mix and I use technaflora nutes which I love. BC boost, bloom, sugerdaddy, red, awesome blossoms, magical, etc.

My strategy is to veg for about 2 months under a 30" piece of white closet maid wire shelving. When it's ready, I lift it off the screen, go to 12/12 and let the colas rise up. The strain is Moby Dick (a powerful white widow/haze cross) which I have done several generations of. These buds were my smallest, I think because of the many colas and cold cement floor in my room. It drops to 60 degrees at night. I flushed for a week and just went into darkness this morning so I will be harvest sunday night.

My question is, am I pulling the trigger too early? It's been almost 10 weeks but the cold may have slowed things down. The trichs are 60-40 cloudy with hardly any amber but by sunday they should turn even more. I don't mind an early harvest because this will be my springtime get-out-and-get-active bud.

Another idea is to harvest the colas then bring the plant back into light and nutes for a week, reflush then harvest the lower buds in two weeks.

Or, is it just too early and I need to get the lights back on her?

Thanks!
