I just dont want to wait too long and end up with knock out so Mr Sunshine says 5-6 and Alienwidow says 3 is there reasoning behind those numbers?

Get yourself a scope. 75%+ amber trichomes. Some strains like 45-55, while others are closer to 65-70. Keep a log book for next time.

Wow good thing I asked because I was thinking maybe 2 more weeks. In the last couple weeks should I be removing the fan leaves?

No, don't remove any leaves. Indica dominant plants usually take 9 to 10 weeks to fully mature.. Most of the breeder's claim 8 weeks but most of those dude's are lying or "off by a couple weeks"..

Personally, I like a little 45-50% amber

Ok I will look for a jewelry magnifying glass to inspect. Its my first time, I think I have done well but want to get it right and not waste all the time and effort that goes into it. It has been like my child these past months... lol

You said you were at week 4, in 5 more it would be week nine. six more weeks would put you at day 70.. best case scenario it's done in 8 and a half weeks putting it a few days away from 5 weeks..it won't be done in 7 weeks. It's a very safe guess for an indica dominant strain. So roughly 5 to 6 weeks give or take 4 days.

Hi, first look at all the white pistils around your buds, the pistils will recede into the buds the remainder will turn Amber, during this process your buds will fatten up. Next get a magnifier and look at the triches, a good mix is 75% cloudy and 25% amber, these numbers depend on personal taste but you can't miss with these. Then at that time you can cut her. Exactly how many weeks it will take depends on how your plants go through these changes, but following these will give you more quality smoke.

I am just short of 4 weeks and mine look similar. My 2 strains have always needed 70 days. So the little yellow bird is probably in the ballpark. You being under HPS might add a few days and if you were going after "45-50%" amber, that too will add a few days. Thats a little too red though for the best high, 10% is what I shoot for with the rest cloudy(higher red is better medicine).

I am in the process of trying to figure out what ratio of amber to cloudy trichs gives me the buzz I am looking for. I am looking for a buzz that is head and body high with that lingering buzzing sensation throughout. Any guesses to what ratio that requires?
