I can't see trichomes in this pics.

I have a bag seed that I run it is a 12 week stain sativa and a really nice sativa too. However it has its issues, besides taking to damn long, it doesn't amber up like most people will say it has to. It is a good sativa buzz and it continues to put on weight till it starts throwing nanners around 12 weeks. So the next time I run this strain I'm going to do a fading light schedule starting at 13/11 and fading to 11/13 or less.

I said all that to say this, I think you might could get more amber with a fading schedule . 10 minutes every 3/4 days less light till you reach your goal. I know this works with some strains of course I have no idea if it is right for you, and I haven't tried it yet either but it is my plan next run with this bag seed of mine.

I tried the light fade in my tent recently. I think it prolonged the finish actually. I won't be doing it this go around.
Good to hear from someone who has tried it, maybe some more peeps will chime in before I waste time on it , thanks.

Ohh do you remember the strain, sativa/ indica % . I think I might have a landrace sativa, but I don't know for sure.

I use the diminished light cycle after gas lantern schedule. I currently have three different strains in two spaces growing. Timer reduced from 11.5 hours down to 10. In my experience, the finish time is still in the ripen window. The trics on the buds tend to stay an overall milky white. Very few clear. Using a 6Ox loupe to observe.

Some amber comes out on the sugar leaves. 10%~. Even though over 80% of the hairs have turn a bronze brown and fold in by then. (Bubblegum)

It's entirely a different look then the old 12/12 schedule. It'll play with your head on when it's ripe.

NOT done............the bud will take more of a "brownish" tint when finished- from the amber trichomes. You probably have at least a week, maybe more. Also, when finished, the bud takes on a "hardness", knowing all the calyxes have swelled.

I agree you have to go longer... Flowering under CFL slows the flower cycle. Look at it this way... The plant is in fine shape to focus on just producing the medicine!

Hey thanks for the comments ladies/gents. I appreciate you taking a look. One of the many problems I've always had is figuring out when to chop. I finally pick up a loop after a great suggestion from someone, well at least its better than my old way "eh, it looks good, (chop)"

Those pictures were take by strapping the loop to my phone, found that diy here.
Let it go longer IMHO. Very difficult to tell because of lack of magnification, but I'm not seeing any amber.

Thanks guys, let me see if I crop closer to it to make it a better picture.

I forgot to mention how nice I think your buds are great job and very frostybongsmilie:clap::bigjoint:

appreciate that, I try my best, should see the whole plant and also the top cola....

Thanks, that's the main plan

Those look f,ing nice , really frosty , I think your real close just a few too many clear heads , it's like some head's are starting to swell and some haven't started swelling yet ( resin heads ) , when most or swollen the Amber should be right behind it.

Congrats and enjoy

Yup, agree with all. Glad to see so many ppl advocating take her when shes ready reguardless of days on calander.

My last round went a solid two weeks plus a day or two longer than they always have. Two strains but same two ive run multiple times. And i go long to begin with. Gg4 i usually am around 70 days.. idk wtf wudda caused that but by god i waited till she was ready and shes is dandy... will be interesting to see if i get that this time, then ill know somethings up.

Anyway what im saying in this rambling is, i second everyone on wait till shes ready.

One old man once said for every plant taken too late 100,000 have been taken too early.

figure I'm a week and a week and a half out, this might not be a easter present, I would be happy with a 420 day present...:lol:

Like everyone else said, Not ready yet man . They look nice , Also very sativa , You might even see 13 weeks
she might actually go that far since now I'm going into her 11th week which will start on the next Tuesday

Beautiful man, just beautiful. I hope she puts you on you butt for everything you've done for her. Killer shit indeed.
Thanks man, appreciate it, not bad huh

yeah, I'm gonna push till she's finally done, one of the reasons why I'm actually asking the questions that I'm asking, always happy to get an extra pair of eyes on it

That final sentence in and of itself should be a sticky. Put second, right under the "Don't ask questions like 'Should I flush' sticky".
eeek, flushing bad word for me, since I know that tern actually doesn't exist in a soil grow, all I've been giving it is tap water anyways

Subscribed. ..absolutely beautiful!
Thanks for stopping in a taking a gander at my girl

Happy growing (:
