more than a week, give it 8-9 weeks of total flower time.

wait 7 weeks then go take a 3 week vacation and then come back to your beautiful babies. Sucks waitin so long but in the end you still have to dry and if your really lovin it , cure it for another 2 to 3 weeks..... Well worth it though. The cure I mean!!!! Just Do It, Yes You Can!

I agree, give it another 5 or 6 weeks and you will end getting more off the plant even another quarter or two! Those buds will swell a lot at the end.

i would give that plant plenty of time to mature. like its been said before about 5 or more weeks. i have one plant like that now and its been flowering for three weeks tomorrow. at that rate of growth/maturation i would give the plant more in the range of like 15 weeks. that plant needs more light badly.invest in a couple CFLs form wally world. there not too expensive. and your plant will love it. youll notice a huge difference very quickly. get 2700 K light tho.

Thx guys for the advise, ill take it all into consideration and continue to watch the trichs. i got a better look at them today (gettin used to the microscope) and saw that very few had turned amber. further, i magnified it to 100x and saw that most of them were still clear.

I was also wondering though, which trichs should i go by? the ones on the lower buds or on the main cola?

i go by colas first, they always finish up first on mine, then the lowers.
Or you could just let the colas go untill the lowers are done, but then ya cut it close to THC degredation on the colas.
I suggest selective harvesting.

Go out and get some meds that'll definitely last you for 6-8 weeks, that way you won't get antzy at the ened and start hackin' yo baby too early just for smoke.

Hey, by selective harvesting, how would i go about that? i know it sounds simple but im just double checking. i would cut parts when they ripen and leave those that dont ripen for when they finish up....but when i cut the plants, does it matter how i cut them or where on the stem they get cut?
