You need 4 weeks (maturity) + 9 weeks (flowering time for Aurora), 13 weeks at least... Wait for 5 more weeks, and she'll get forsty...

another is it ready thread smh. buy a god damn loupe, shit is like $10.
nobody here on RIU can tell you if its ready or not, they will just make a guess, are you willing to risk 2 months of work on someone elses guess just to save $10 beans?

looks about 3-4 weeks left. Watch trichs. Imo when there's an even number of clear cloudy and amber trichs is good. Also check trichs when light comes on. Those trichs get degraded by light by the end of the day.

also watch for the orange / brownish hairs to recede into the calyx. Over the next week or so the calyx's will swell up. Then chop. After that time they will start producing more leaf.

Wow, she's gorgeous. I just ordered seeds from Nirvana, expect del. by the end of the week then it's ON! I hope my Nirvana's do so well. I ordered 5/Pure Power Plant f. and 5/AK48 f. with 10 mysteries. Don't have a clue who to plant or how many because I'm going to have a small grow to transplant outdoors. And I'm trying to be discreet til it get it outdoors.

I have a newbie question. Don't laugh, guys-- remember "Newbie"--Does every species of plant have to be pruned and topped/snipped off to cause fat trees and hearty growth or do you just let it grow on its own?

Looks almost like you may have seeds developing. Also when I see big leaves coming out of buds with no trichomes it makes me think there is light leaks. Which can cause hermies and seeds:(

Looks like a great bud so far, but i believe you are a ways from harvest. For one their are still a bunch of white pistils but of course the only way to know for sure is your tricomes. have u checked the tricomes out with a loupe?

That is definitely a plant on steroids! So, you need special plant foods to get it that way?

Well that sure answered my question! I'm finally coming to the realization that Home Depot and Lowe's are not going to stock the kinds of cooking medium I need. (remember, car in shop and have to ride along with different family members to get what I need on the slip slide.) So, here I am, the day (or two) before I get my things in the mail and I'm still not ready. I did get a pH tester today and some peat pellets along with more and different potting soils, I forget what now, they are stashed outside my bedroom door--outside. Got one of those 36-hole self-watering greenhouses with peat pellets, just for grins. I'm sure I got too much of some things and not enough or not at all of other things. Well, first grow live and learn. I do have the added advantage of trying out a few seeds and see how that goes and if it flops, I can start over months later because here in Texas, you can grow practically year round outside.

I wonder if the fact that (it looks like) you have them in your bathroom and they get plenty of humidity makes all the difference. Are they? I know it took much more than that, just sayin'.
