Strain flowering time?

[GreenThunb]

When they say finishes in 8 weeks, does that start at the time you cut back the light cycle or when you start seeing bud formation? Just a question because my plants were given to me. I was told they would finish in 8 but i am close to the end but they dont look finished:wtf:

Personally i go from the time i see bud formation. The only way to know for sure though is to go to nearest Radio Shack and purchase one of the battery operated magnifiers. Cut a leaf out of the bud and view the tiny crystals on the leaves. (trichomes- little mushroom shaped figures on the leaf) when they are mostly cloudy this means that it is near peak rippness. some will be clear some will be cloudy and some will be amber.(the reddish color in the trichomes, which means thc levels are declining) this is the way to scientifically tell if they are ready

Click either "Post Reply" or "go advanced". A text box appears. Under the text box is a green bar that says "Additional Options".
Go to "attach files" and click "manage attachments".

The rest is obvious. :thumbsup:
