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?

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.

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?

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?
