52 days in flowering and the buds seem to be exploding--there are very few leaves left and the trichs are an asortment of clear-foggy and a few amber --- hairs are still 85% white still.I don't want to let them go for to long or not enough any help would be great----- here are some pics but my camera is crap it does'nt like close ups

going by the what color the hairs are, is only a slight guessing tool for when you dont have a microscope to check your trichs some plants just wont put out that many red hairs... what you need to look for is if there are any NEW hairs sprouting or not

but you said that you were starting to see some amber, so you COULD chop them now, or you could let em go a couple more days and let some more amber get in there, (the trich heads will still mature for a couple days after you cut your plants) it all depends on your personal preferences


nice plants btw!

I veged them for 4 weeks 13 inches tall while using nsr greenleaves grow juice then into 12/12 nsr greenleaves bloom juice ..No co2 -- and i think they called it ether silver or heavy duty -- they said it was a 8 week flower strain.

you cant really "go to long" you would have to grow it for like another 2 months to go to long

the longer you let it go the stonier you weed is going to be

and yes the the hairs still being white means nothing, as long as its not sprouting any new hairs thats all you have to worry about... trich heads are the most accurate thing to go buy

why have you been flushing for 15 days already?



doesnt seem healthy flushing them 4 weeks before they are supposed to be done. that prolly lost you some yeild


Ill flush for 1 week and also use clearx to speed up the process thats why you can nute the plants all they way till chop almost

Flushing is VERY overrated. Unless you are using harsh chemical nutes like MG. I see Alot of people in here drowning their plants and they don't even know why, just because someone said to. I did not "flush" my plants at all. I just stopped the nutes towards the end of the grow. I recieved MANY compliments on how good my pot tasted and they had no clue I grew it myself!
