when should I harvest!? (pics)

[Dankerb]

ok well i have 2 rubbermaid grow boxes and a total of 7 females 2 of which are clones.
i was just wondering why the lower buds seem to have more resin glands on it and the colas don't look like they have near as much but maybe its hidden, i dunno.

also is it ok to trim the colas that look done and leave the rest for a week or so?:stoned:

i have one plant that is dark green and purpleish and smells like skittles or something sweet to me, i understand it can turn purple due to the cold but none of the other plants are dark green with purple under neath on the leaves and a bit on the buds. is this plant sick?:(

they are all bag seed from ages ago i found in my pop's garage so i have no idea what it is. the funny thing is i planted 5 seeds and they all came out fems. lucky eh?

thanks all.:D

[Dankerb]

to be honest im not quite sure man.

[twitch]

the trichs and see when they are turning an amber color

you'll want something powerful to view them. Like a 10x-30x loupe.

I use a 60x-100x handheld microscope from Radioshack. It was $10.99 USD.

I can view the trichs very well with this thing and it was cheaper than a quality loupe. Though I would have to say a nice loupe would probably be easier to use.

For the cost savings though I can't complain.

lol hey it worked kinda.
used a 8x loupe for some pics and a crappy mini scope its a bitch to use.. i need a better loupe tho.

Looks pretty clear/slightly cloudy to me. Looks like you still have some time before harvest comes.

Good luck :thumbsup:

can anyone give me a time frame like 2-4weeks?? so i can consider starting my next batch

[daihashi]

If you had to take a rough guess how long would you say those plants were in 12/12. I know you said you don't know but just take an estimate.

About 5-6 weeks or so?

If so I'd say judging by those trich pics and that most of the plants look sativa dominant, I would say another 4-6 weeks.

I'm in the same boat as you. Check out my flowering log link in my signature. I just started week 7 of flower and I'm still expecting to go about another 3-6 weeks. My plants are still all clear/barely cloudy like yours.

[Dankerb]

yea id say at about 5-6 weeks since in a few hours its April.
Most the pistols have changed color and the calyxes are beefing up so i may in the 3-4 week stretch.:)

your ladies look really good by the way.

[Dankerb]

for my next grow what great nutes do you all use for beefing up those buds that i can proly get at my local hydro store.?
thanks

ok just started seeing some amber and i was told once not sure if is correct that there is a 5-7 wndow where the thc degrades,,so would that mean the trics would be now turning amber at a fast rate in a week or so.??
