I would agree likely 3 or 4 weeks. Lots of weight to put on still.
yes, now they are gaining weight. It will have to wait, a shame since I planted it for the short time it took, since I have nothing to smoke.
let's see, hopefully the same will come out 30+ grYup id let it ride, those buds will swell if left to finish. Still see lots of new growth from buds.
Time is just an average, also depends on environment aswell.
Also how look the other girls? The small one is the auto, the other two are GG#4 they are on day 27 of bloom.
The GG#4 are starting yellowing a little, i think can be light stress..
I got a microscope, some and i saw some trichomes turning amber, it's soon to starting turning amber i think, no?

They turn amber on the leaves early...that's why they say not to go by the trichomes on the leaves. Those have at least 4 weeks to go, IMHO.

You will find there are always some amber, some clear and some milky at this point. It's because new tricomes are being produced all the time. Go by the bud tricomes and not the leaves. Plants look super healthy so great job on that, your patience will be rewarded. Once the pistils stop reaching out keep close watch on the tricomes, this is when you should start to see them turning amber on the buds.
Ahh! Thanks, another thing learned, is what I like most about this, for years that pass you always learn something more !
It is the first time that I cut looking at trichomes, I have always cut guided by the pistils
Thanks man! Will do that! When I have seen amber trichomes I have worried, because seeing the bud and the pistils it is clear that it is missing, but I have started to wonder what I have done wrong so that the trichomes start to get amber ...
hopefully less, I'm with nothing to smoke

Yes sir, a couple weeks or more. As long as those pistols are reaching up the buds are growing. Now if you are desperate for some smoke you could selectivly take down a bud but you will not be getting a bud at its full potential or potency. Its all up to you brother but they are not ready. Seems a shame to go through months of work just to not let them get to their potential however I do understand being out of smoke. On the bright side taking down one cola won't kill your plant. Many harvest top first and allow lower buds to keep developing.
I'm going to wait, although it had crossed my mind to take some bud from the bottom, but I prefer to wait, nothing happens for 2-4 weeks, but I just put this because it took 45-50 days from germination hahaha.
I think it is ready to cut, or close.
2 days ago I cut buds from the lower branches because they were turning brown, I don't know if they will be fungus or mold, what do you think?
I threw the most of the cut buds in the trash, and I saved 2 that looked good, and I put them to dry, and today I saw that they are getting brown at the bottom ..
