I am not an expert by any means, but i thought i saw some amber in the first pic, but most of it looks to be cloudy. In all that i have read on here it looks like your about there, now it is just personal prefrence as to when you pick it. You should really go and get a jewelers loop ( 30x Mag ) eye piece and check it in diffrent spots. Very nice pictures by the way.

Smpaz has it right. Most of them are cloudy, but there are quite a few amber. You could take the whole thing down now and I think you'd be very happy with the potency. Especially since it looks like a pretty heavy indica you already have quite a bit of couchlock right now. :stoned:

That being said, I say chop half of her now then the other half in a week or two so you have a little variation. If you grow this strain again, you'll know how long to let her go. Lately I've been chopping the biggest buds first, then leaving about half of each branch, and effectively cutting the whole plant in half height-wise. This gives the popcorn stuff a little longer to mature and become trim-worthy.

If you keep taking beautiful macros like these you won't need a loupe/pocket microscope :thumbsup:

Also, maybe next time cut back a bit on the nutes! They look great, but a little burned.

Have a great harvest, Cana!

This is my first grow and I've done a lot of mistakes. First, two plants are in the same pot: Slow growth?

I've been fighting with spider mites for weeks. About six weeks ago, I thought only two weeks left till harvest so I stopped giving any nutes. They've been only getting molasses for more than a month: Slow growth...

They were doing fine the first six weeks until the growth slowed down and that was when I first noticed the mites.

They completed 13th week of flowering...

I know.. I suck at that one... :rastasmoke:

Are there any rules like, "cut down your plants if they have been flowering for more than 13 weeks or so, cause they won't be getting any better after that period"?

I'm asking that question cause those photos were from bottom area. Top parts are another story. They look less matured compared to bottom parts.

Wow, your buds look good considering what you just said!

The top buds are less mature than the bottom buds? Never heard that happen before considering they're closer to the light.

Do you still have mites?

Usually with a pure indica or indica-dominant hybrid you won't go longer than 11 weeks (and a lot of sativas don't go 13 weeks). If the top buds don't look ready yet, then don't take it down. I still say cut all your lil buds off that look ready, dry, cure and enjoy. It's about time you got something off these last 4 months

Looks like you've learned a bit from your mistakes, and that's the most important part. Get rid of those pests, one plant per container, and happy growing, Cana
