When should I start to pick?

[kamalais]

The plants are about two-two and a half months old, and I wanted to know about how much longer it would be until I am able to start picking them.


here are a few pictures of them taken today.

need more details. most importantly, how long have they been in flower, and under what kind of light?

[kamalais]

hm... about a month and all purpose plant light

At full zoom I see no amber trichs.
It looks like you have a few more weeks to wait.
To be sure though, I recommend that you buy or borrow a cheap microscope.
(Radio Shack, about 10 bucks)
Use it to take a close look at the trichs.
When they are "mostly coudy" with sprinkling of amber it's a nice mix of head high and couch-lock.
In short:
More light and more waiting is advised.

this is the best I can do for right now, does it help any?

Yes, it does.
Looks like you may have a week or two of waiting.

I'd also suggest that you quit "petting" it and sniffing your finger.
A lot of trichs are missing from that sugar leaf, brah. :rastasmoke:

When you touch the bud, trichomes break off and stick to your fingers.
No wanna waste 'em.

lmao! i agree with weeze, more light and a little while longer. you want ~70% amber trichromes.

bahaha that was my boyfriend, not me I don't touch them or anything... im not "allowed" to because I left the lights on for too long one time.


here are some new pictures with an actual camera, not a picture phone.

Just make sure you smoke all those beans!! What kind of lighting do you have on them. No offense but they look very small and the seed pods are breaking open so they must have been pollinated or hermied on you. Seeds ripen at 4-5 weeks I believe. Not too much bud production going on either. Look malnourished or even root bound.

[kamalais]

ha they are pretty small, but there isnt really much we can do with them considering where we live.

we only started to grow them for something to do and so that we wont have to pay for our bud anymore


yeah we had a big hermie and when we cut it the stem started regrowing into 2 or 3 new plants and it looks crazy now but it was too late, it had already pollinated .


but we re-planted them into a bigger thing because the roots did only have a small limited space
