should this be about ready to harvest?

[stewie420]

hello. the plant is going to be 8 weeks flowering monday, she
vegged for 8 weeks as well. her last watering she got just water,
and a healthy dose of it. plan to give her more water to clean
her out on her next watering. had planned to put into 48 hours
of darkness at 8 weeks, but not sure...

thoughts?

[Garden Knowm]

NO not ready.. nice plant... no more ferts..

that LADY sure is hairy!!!!!

[sMOkeY bOB]

gees garden knowm u not wrong i aint seen dat many hairs since my ex gf, gees,
nice lookin buds tho man

[latewood]

By vegging 8 weeks I think you prolonged your flowering cycle and you need more time to truly finish that baby...imho

[stewie420]

really? you guys think its a pretty good plant? hrmm...
well cool...

so about how much longer you think... weeks?!?!
ferts stopped on october 2nd.

[Garden Knowm]

good plant... I bet zandor has a nice theory why it is so hairy.. I am guessing it is not all genetic.. maybe too much nut of some kind...

DOn't get me wrong the plantis swellingncely but I thik there is a nut issue- just by looking out how the leaves curled..

hang in there.. post a pic next week..

IS is getting 12 solid, uniterupted hours of darkness?

[HARDDON]

YOur plant is not yet ready by any stretch of the imagination.

This plant is a high sativa strain and it is rare that most high stativas are ready in 8 weeks. Some are as long as 12 weeks.

It is very nice and pretty, but not yet ready for harvest at all.

THose curly cue finger leaves are jsut a sign that some roots are getting light or some exposure to environment other than dirt. Not a problem at this stage. Could be the holes at the container bottom, it could be the space between the soil and the pot. No big deal.

Plan on another couple of weeks, at least.

Very nice buds...but they are not yet done :)

[stewie420]

alright... i will continue feeding her water and post some pics
in another week... the leaves have always been kinda thin, she
had some pH problems early on. i didnt purposely try to abuse
my plant with chemicals, she just got the fox farm stuff as
directed. ill check the soil to see if there are any roots sticking
out on top and add some soil accordingly, she should be due for
water tonight anyhow, im sure theres roots sticking out of the
bottom of the pot, but that pretty normal.

i go to great lengths to ensure that her home is as light proof as
humanly possible for the full 12 hours of darkness...

i wish she would finish, ive got others waiting to move in...

what should i look for beyond the
microscopic signs to know that shes
nearing completion?

thanks!

and of course i dont actually know anything about this plant
and scenario i found on the internet to share with you guys.

The only other way to guage her readiness besides the scope is to generalize...when most of the hairs turn red / brown.....

It will start from the bottom of the bud and work its way up.

When 3/4 of any particular bud is red haired, you can harvest that bud if you like to do it without checking the scope.

i plan to use the scope, but it involves so much touching
of the plant that i would like to avoid overdoing it if i can.

is it going to be getting more crystals?

[Garden Knowm]

well, stew, there is another way you can gauge her readiness... pick off a nice big bud... put it in an envelope... and mail it to me... I will then exam it thouroughly...

A real professional exam!!!!!!!!!

and then I will mail you back a report on my findings along with the remaining ashes that will probably be left after such a thourough exam..

its up to you.. no pressure..

HD - back off dude : ), I got this one....

[budman2000]

LMFAO!!!!

[MeatRulz]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i like hairy buds

[stewie420]

wow... are you guys messing with me? i figured
my wimpy bent over plant with no crystals would
be the laughing stock/waste of resources of the
whole community...

is my plant really that hairy? is being this hairy bad?
is it going to get stickier? shes not too sticky nor smelly...

sorry... first girl... have no idea what im doing...

ive got 5 of her clones begging for 12/12 once shes
finally done...

any gauge on how much i might harvest off her?
at least an oz???

she got water yesterday... lots of it... many of her fan leaves
are yellowing and many towards the bottom have already fallen
off... otherwise she seems very slow to show any real change
from day to day...

ill take some more pics maybe monday or tuesday and see
what you guys think as to how shes coming along...

garden knowm i apprciate your offer for a real professional exam,
but i think i might keep her local and be the first one to light
up her beautiful fruits...

[Garden Knowm]

hahaha

You plant is not bad at all.. it is very very hairy,,,,, : )

It should get real sticky and real smelly.. give some time..

leep up the good work

[stewie420]

how about this...

how long is the window for trich development? as in... if the
trichs are clear and cloudy now, how long does it take them to
turn cloudy to amber? as in... how long does a trich stay in
each stage of its life?

i know its a gradual change and all... but will a trich stay cloudy
for 1 week, 2 weeks, 2 days, 4 hours ???


more pics sometime tonight... probably not of trichs though.

[stewie420]

these are pics from today... there seems to be some swelling
fairly noticible in person...
hows she look?

the yellowing to browning to falling off leaves is just the plant
using the fan leaves for sustinance since shes only getting water
correct?

[stewie420]

bizz-ump.

[stewie420]

didnt drag her out of the cabinet for these i guess.

[KenoSmoker]

Very nice

[Garden Knowm]

nice finger.... no offence, but your lady is FAT!!!!!!!!

[stewie420]

trichs still look clear to cloudy... but they are hard to find...

well question... are the tiny hairs sticking out of the hairs
that make my lady "FAT" actually trichs too?

[spacebud]

what strain is that? looks sinister......wowee

[stewie420]

just bagseed. my first female plant ever.

i took a tiny piece of a bud from the way bottom and tried to
dry it out and smoke it... it dried to practically nothing and did
about the same...

she isnt really crystally at all either which worrys me... i really
dont think this is going to end up being good at all...
and its taking forever.

she just got a friend tonight. one of my baby babies just got a
little out of control for her home... dont know sex yet, but hope
to within a week or so, shes got lots of pre-somethings i cant
quite get 100% certainty either way.

yeah, that bad boy is at least two weeks out, looks more like 3-4 to me.. I would still keep pumpin it with the mix for about another 2 weeks. and then flush, about the last week. What do you have that under a 600? looks like it. If you got it under a 600 go another 3-4 weeks.

[frostymcfailure]

its obvious from the first pics posted it had a long way to go flowering wise. The hairs are good but not on the end product. A lot of white hairs like u had means buds are still growing. in the first pic that plant definitely looked abused/kicked & sad. Anyway, it'll probably flower 10-12 weeks & if u harvest early ull regret it later imo. Amber trichs are a good indication on when to harvest as well.

[frostymcfailure]

that shiz looks very sativa

[sourpatchez]

You overfertilized your plant big time and because of the nutrient burn it will no doubt take longer
