This is my first grow and I was wondering how many days until she is finished? The trichs are mostly all cloudy with a few clear and a few amber.

she looks like she could use another week at least, If the trichs are where you want them, give her a day or two and chop. Alot of people will tell you to go by the pistils, and if you were to go by that you would need a few more weeks for sure, as i see lots of white, and not so much brown/orange. but its all in what kind of high you want..

Id let the calyxs swell a bit more, the buds look like they could still fill out.. have you been flushing??
aslo, what strain? how many days into flowering are you? soil or hydro? lights used?

It is a soil/cfl grow and I am not sure of the flowering time. I agree there are a lot of white hairs but her leaves are dropping really fast. I am going to hope she swells up soon.

how many watts of cfl? Your buds may not swell to much more if you have low watts.

Leaves are dropping and trichs are cloudy she wants to come down : ) what strain?

Your not even close, unless, you got a really lame strain or tomato lights. 400 w or bust. 12000 lumens per plant.

My plant is soakin up 20000+ lumens. Ive heard alot about the cfls.. I dont know how much truth is to it but it seems hard to get fat rock hard nugs.. look into the cfl threads and find some info. also upload some pics in a few days and see what people think of her..

Cfls are great for small plants the penetration on them is horrible I use t5 for clone and early veg.

Get a scope 30-40x and check the condition of the trichomes. It is the only way to be 100% sure when to harvest. I'd also remove some of those shade leaves and let the bud get some light.

I will also be using t5s, for side lighting,, hps for main light. 150w hps is woorking pretty good, 1 plant at a time
