Ready yet?? WITH PICS!!! seeking experienced grower opinions

[newbgrowerrr]

Almost 8 weeks into flower. This is my first grow so needless to say I made many mistakes along the way that probably stunted the plants.

Im wondering when i should start flushing? I just want to make sure they are finished growing before i stop the nutes.. Unknown strains...It looks like 2 of the plants are suffering from nute lockout.

Take a look at the last picture.. why so leafy?

TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!! Please
Thanks :D

Lol thanks!! and thanks for the reply!! :) .. Yea i have one of those 60-100x radio shack micro scopes.. but its pretty annoying to look through.. and Im never sure what im looking at.

I was just wondering theres any way to get a general idea just by overall look because i get really impatient trying to use that 12 dollar microscope :mad:. lol

So would you say another 1-2 weeks ish? would now be a good time to start flushing?

What kinda high yu be lookin to get pilgrem energy high or know yu out high? Also yu got macro settin on yur camera be takin a pic on that settin then load onto computer and then edit with paint be seein it real big and just maybe seein trich color as well. As for just usein yu eye without nothin well best i be givin ya gain would be watch the hairs turn fro ivory white to an orange or shriveled red color how I be checkin but it aint always dependible so be carfull pilgrem. Hope yur crop turn out as good as they be lookin once gain wish i did so well my first grow.

Nice looking grow Newb...:thumbsup:

Looks like you need two more weeks, then a flush of 10/14 days...

Looks like a Sativa Leaning plant so 12/14 weeks is not out of the question...

The leafy buds will tighten up and look/smell real "Crusty" when she's ready...

Another way to check the Tri's is a camera, D-50 with a 105MM macro shows wonders...

I'm a brand new grower so I can't give you any advice. I did want to congratulate you for a great grow though and tell you that they sure do look tasty! I figure that I am about 10 weeks behind you and your pictures have made me weak in the knees. :woohoo::yippee:

Your right....growing takes tons of time...but the satisfaction of the finished product is well worth it.......One suggestion I can make is keep doing research...read other grow logs....even very old ones.....make small changes and wait for the plants to respond.....your grow looks good....anothe week or so and start flushing....good luck.

you had to be using a tripod when you took that shot....I have a Cannon 50d with a 100 macro and love taking those kinda shots.....I am a newbe for macro photography....any suggestions as to how I can get better?

I'm far from an Expert but like the song says... I know a Little and Baby I can Guess the Rest...;)

Two of the most important things are a Tripod & Remote Switch...

Canon Remote Switch RS-80N3 2476A001 B&H Photo Video (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/164276-REG/Canon_2476A001_Remote_Switch_RS_80N3.html)

Now lets get Small...

With Macro look for the picture inside the picture...

By that I mean... focus on the leaf and not the bud...

At this range your depth of field is less the 1/2" so compose the shot taking that into account...

Other Tips...

Good lighting in the 6500K to 7500K range...

If the plant is movable, place on a table so you have full access...

If the plant is no movable you can cut a bud or bud section off to work with...

Take lots of photos of the subject, normally 1 out of 20 shots is a keeper...

In this photo the leaf is 1/4" x 1/2" my focus point was the leaf tip allowing the rest to fade out naturally. Then I cropped the photo so the focus point is to the right and not in the middle of the photo...
