Would you chop this? (pics inside)

I'm using a hps 1000w bulb, I lost track but I believe its at 7-8 weeks flowering It's around 5 feet tall. I don't know the strain. I used a magnifying glass for 2 of the photos below. I don't have a microscope I'm looking into getting one in the near future. They are not that great of pics just hoping someone skilled can eye ball it.

7-8 weeks flower?? still look like it has long white hairs... n ways to go?? maybe it takes 12-14 weeks?

im No PRO.. but just my Opinion

If that plant is @ 8 weeks flowering then you have another 8 weeks to go...
Post some more pictures in 4-5 weeks + you'll get precise answers!

to help out when estimating times on plants keep an eye on a couple telltale signs.

1 - The white hairs will turn orange/red/brown
2 - There will be a white/reddish shine on the plants ( the trichs maturing, 3 stages, clear, cloudy,amber and matures in that order. cloudy/milky coloured ones are mature and ripe, the amber ones are the degrading thc which becomes cbd which gives you a couchlock/stoner feel, the clear ones are pretty much useless as they are under developed)
3 - take the times they give you, if your running hydro then there prolly spot on, if your using soil, add another 20-30% time.

this is just from personal experience, and might vary according to conditions.

Around 8 weeks flowering time not counting the veg time at all.

Thanks for the information m8. Do you think dropping from 13 dark / 11 light (been at that for 3 weeks) to 10 / 14 would decrease the time it takes to finish? Ive seen posts saying it works but could it harm anything by doing this?

Personally I would get the back on a 12/12 schedule....your not going to make them mature faster, it is mainly in the genetics. Don't try and rush things, let it go.....it looks like you have a few weeks, nice plant should fatten up nicely for you! Keep feeding and watering as you normally would in case you have stopped for some reason. I recommend keeping a log or have a calendar you can make notes on to keep track of everything. Also I notice some wet leaves in one of your pics, your not misting or foliar feeding your plants are you?

I bet its 8 weeks since 12/12. And 6 weeks of actual flowering time

Thanks man

Nah man I brushed the one leaf against an aphid fly trap I had hanging. Nasty little bastards had quite a few of them early but the traps killed them off. I really didn't wanna put anything in the soil to kill them. Luckily I didn't have to.


Anyone know if this is mostly sativa or indica ? I know the pics are shit ill try to make another post with better pics in the future.

It sure looks like it is mostly sativa from the pics, the leaves seem long and slender. I would say if its been in 12/12 for 8 weeks and flowering for 6, that it has between 5-7 more weeks, I would start keeping an eye on it in 4 weeks and go from there. You will notice the buds start to swell alot more then it looks like they are. The hairs will start to receed into the bud a bit (though some sativas aren't good about that) and most importantly the trichomes will all turn cloudy which means they are rip! Some people choose to harvest when trichomes are all cloudy, some wait till they start to see amber.
