Hello again to everyone! Same newb here, still growing in FoxFarms Ocean Forest Soil, Ph of 6.5, In a 3.5 Gallon container, Using all of Fox Farms Nutes, Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom, and Grow Big, which has made my plant explode! Temps are about 77 degrees during the day, and at Night about 66 degrees. My question for you all is, is she done yet? I'm on week 6 Day 45 of Flower. I am using 4 150 Watt CFLs, and 1 15Watt CFL. I have been checking the Trichomes with my Jewelers Loupe that has 30X magnification, but I'm not exactly sure what I am looking for. I see some red hairs and it's crystalizing nicely but I've been checking out other peoples grows and their weed is crystalized like crazy mine is nowhere near that. Would you all mind checking out my pictures and giving me some comments. Or give me an estimated time of when to harvest. Thanks guys!
Here's the pics

keep an eye on those trichomes, most folks harvest when they show anywhere from 10%-20% amber trichomes ... how long that will takes depends mostly upon the strain you're growing ... I'd say your plants are looking very nice, indeed :thumbsup: ... be patient, watch for mold, keep a lot of air moving, as the buds get denser, they like to hold moisture ... nice work :thumbsup:

you should get 2 books - Jorge Cervantes Grow Bible and the Marijuana Garden Saver, both on Amazon...

On average my harvest are usually between 55/60 days from day 1 flower. As stated if you know the strain you can zero in on it. Again other factors such as what kind of high your looking for should be considered. The longer you go the more couch lock the lesser equates to more of a physcodelic head high. By the looks Id say give it another 10 days. Looks great! :thumbsup:

Looks good so far, you have about 4 weeks left I think. Maybe 6 if its a strong Sativa strain. CFL's make slow them down and take longer. Trich's are pretty easy to see with 30x, clean crystaline mushrooms.

i agree with everyone i'd wait a little longer.. when i think mine is ready i just snip little buds off each week and try'em... works for me..

pic 004 looks like the closest to being done. I would say probably 2 weeks. The others look like they're still about 3 to 4 weeks more.

Hey guys thank you all for your comments. I wish I knew what strain this was. It's hard growing from bag seed. I have been checking out leaf pictures online to at least see if I can categorize my plant as either a sativa or indica, but It's just too hard. :mad:

I disagree with your time estimates. Another 4 weeks will be too long, unless the OP is looking for severe couchlock (6 weeks is definitely too long). From the pictures and non-macro pictures of the trichs, I'd guess the harvest window will start in about 2 weeks.
