female budding plant

[princessleah]

hi all im new to the site and im growing my 1st indoor (natural light) female plant which is starting to bud its got some white hairs and some reddish hairs on the buds now shes on 12/12 and ive trimmed her up abit its doing ok just wondered if anyone knows how much longer it has got before harvest roughly .any help is apprechiated

She looks like she still has at least 5-6 weeks left before she is ripe depending on strain. How long has she been budding?

[princessleah]

shes been budding roughly 2-3wks now

Ya, she has a few more weeks to go. Cant really say an exact time cause I dont know the strain. You can go get a cheap microscope from walmart or radio shack and check the trichomes. I personally wait till about 5-10% of the trichomes start to turn dark.

quiet a few of the white hairs are turning red there was loads of white hairs but they are staring to thin out round the bud bit ,this plant is starting to get on my nerves lol :mad: really thik i need light on it

Bud sites look nice but I would expect to see more leaf. When you say trimmed it up a bit did you cut off a bunch of leaf?

[princessleah]

yes i did thats were i think i went wrong it looks like it starting to die now the leaves are curling under and drying out dont know wat to do with it i cant afford any lights for it at the moment its just absorbing the natural light
