Looking good, but the longer you wait basically the bigger the buds will get to a certain extent. Go until 1/3 of the hairs have turned brownish red. You'll get a much larger yield. For drying it works best to hang by branches from a clothes line (makeshift closet one with clothes pins works fine) Depending on how damp the bud is it could take a full 7 days. Analyze the situation after about 4 though. Dry with buds hanging down. After that trim it and cure it more if you wish by putting buds into vacume tight glass jars for a day or two, letting out moisture about every 12 hours. Mmmmmmm
 
well i dont have a magnifying glass.
so i wouldnt know
most of it it amber hairs...with a few new white hairs comming here and there?
(i just snipped a bud to taste it then)
 
well whenever u do harvest. hang it upside down in cool dark well ventilated place until stem can be snapped not bent. then seal it up in air tight container for about 12 to 24 hrs then open kit to let it breath. do this repeatedly for a few days till all internal moisture is gone then smoke.
 
you'd get good smoke but you'd have to dry it for the THC to even turn psychoactive... Technically if you harvested now you'd get pretty much MAXIMUM THC potency, the more red it is, the more lethargic the high will be. At this stage, the high that those buds would produce would certainly fuck with your head : )
 
well i have been flowering since jan 14th....outside
and it was bag seed.
ok
soo should i chop it down and then show you the chopped budz???
 
ok
fine the 14th it is.
then i will keep peps updated...
any suggestions?
..like i started the flush today...how long more?
 
does anyone have advice on how to water plants and when nutes should be introduced??? please click on my link and help me im tired of them dying or getting males please help!
 
Looks realy leafy but somestains are if you would have topped them in there 2nd week you would have double the nugs.top them 2 weeks into flowering next time.i personaly would give them a little longer but look at the thc heads are they amber i bet a tenner that they are just turning i bet it needs another week.
 
so another week you say.
ok she is comming down on the 14th...
any ideas on how long for each drying process
 
well about 6 more days to go, i cut most of the fans leaves off soo more light can get to the budz....any ideass?
 
If you are saying that most of the pistils are a red colour (say about 70% roughly) i would say now would be a good time to do it. Its obv really your call and ob there is alot of mixed opinions but definately dont flower more than the 8 week mark.

If you wanted to try it out and see for yourself just snip a little bud off put it in an envelope or make one and pop it ontop of the radiator or a lampshade with the lamp on (turn it over every now and then) when its dry enough (u should check ever 5 to 10 mins so it doesnt get too hot) try it out if you get a pretty good high from it then chop it if you are not happy dont.

Defo not ever the 8 weeks mark though good looking girl though mate!
 
you should just invest $20-$30 in a 60-100x magnifier with a light on the end of it. it will be worth it. you will know EXACTLY when to harvest and get the best smoke for all your work. it would be a shame to harvest too early or late.
