Dont know how long in she is but she looks great. Pistils are browning out. Dont have mag yet to check trichs but is it even close enough to worry about the trichs? Shouldi be flushing it or not watering it or what? It has not been fed any nutes for about a week and a half and it had like 1/6 strenght veg nutes. Dont ask why but looks gr8 to me. help me out. i wanna chop it and smoke it while i wait for the rest of my crop. +rep for any helpful posts.bongsmiliebongsmiliebongsmiliebongsmilie 'yeah i know shes small and im not worried about yield just quality buds on this one. I dont know much about this plant besides the fact ive had her for a little over a month. Check my grow for more info on my grow. On the bright side of everything all my ladies have shown sex and they are all my LADIES<>:mrgreen:

quite a while, a month at the absolute least. You need to check the trichomes b4 harvest, its important, you spent all the time growing it might as well make sure its at its peak, right? for the future-dont keep more than 1 plant in the same container. how often and how much are u watering? whats your ph? whats your temps?
 
a month really? damn... what do you mean more than one plant in the same container? I dont have any container with 2 plants in it. this is not my main grow at all. it is actually extra and was given to me free of charge while flowering. I water like every 3 or 4 days.. ph never tested :( i know i will get a tester this weekend. Temps kinda high. mid 80s lights on mid 70s lights off. Im getting a 460 cfm fan soon to fix that problem hopefully. Thanks for the reply... rep on its way
 
no problem, btw mid 80's on and lower-mid 70's at lights off is just about perfect. pic 7 looked like 2 plants at first since i didnt notice where the branch of the second cola eas coming from the meristem of the other. As for when you can harvest again it comes down to the trichs, if they are all cloudy you can cut if you want, but the plant wont be done like if you let it go till the end of its bud/life cycle.
 
okay well its probly only mid 80s lights on becasue i leave the door open to the room so hopefully the new exhaust fan will let me close the door and make better use of the light. yeah i see what you looking at. It does look like two plants. I think its how it was cut and cloned. but yea im going to get a magnifying glass soon to check those trichs. I wont cut till its done. Ill keep updating this thread with pics as it grows to get more opinions on chopping. Thanks destruction. check my grow if your interested in the rest of my ladies. got two white widows and two green cracks.
 
ya you got a while, you want all those little white hairs that point outwards to point inwards

kinda like this...

If someone is growing professional genetics where they can look at the breeder info, or if the beans came from a source that knows them and can tell you what to expect I say make sure you purchase a scope that is capable of doing the job, it does not have to be expensive, and from about a week before the earliest normally expected finishing date &#8230;. start checking your trichomes. As they change more, watch them closer so you can harvest when it will be the best according to your personal preference.

If someone does not have any genetic information, or actually just not enough to use for some general period of time, I say watch for the first hairs to begin to change color and then begin to look closer. You will likely begin too look earlier that way than you will begin to look later, but it is better to begin too early than it is to begin too late.

In the end though ..... when is it time to harvest .... well.... it is all about the trichomes.
 
get a cheapo magnifier/ hand microscope from e bay mate. i bought one recently for around £6 ($10) delivered, its nuthin special but it does the job. like brick top said mate its all in trichs, too many people, a lot of them friends of mine!!, just wanna chop, dry and smoke. waste of all ur hard work and time to do that. as soon as im positive my plants are ready for harvest(itchy fingers with scissors at the ready) i walk away and give them another week, its blood y hard to leave them but its so much better in the long run.
chill man and let em bloom.
 
Thanks guys. im in no rush to chop it. just thought it was getting close and wanted to make sure if i should be flushing it or anything special. Thanks for all the replies and help. I will get a mag scope and check out the trichs this weekend. So do you think its okay to feed a little bit of bloom nutes? Have not fed it bloom nutes to this point just a little veg nutes to help it out because it was lacking N when i got it. I Flushed the soil since her last feeding of the veg nutes.
 
dude im not an expert but if youve egot more harvest and you really need it id say cut the extra lil plant in pik 7 and smoke that and hold out on the rest....again i am no expert i am quite naive
 
ya the one in pic seven is no where near ready to be smoke and its so small it be like .5g dryed out.. lol
