First Grow!!! What ya guys think is he ready?

so im right about at 8 weeks of flowering and im thinking my beautiful white widow is ready for harvest. I flushed and trimmed all fan leaves to allow light to lower areas. I plan on turning lights of tonight at normal time then keeping them off till i plan to trim which is prolly sat morn. so will be about 30 hrs of darkness at the most. I also have a mix seed i got and it grew awesome but im pretty sure shes a sativa and def needs a lil longer.I almost think its a skunk blend. I got close ups of the widow but not the other. Not sure how to post pics in this forum but have pics in my album if any one wants to check them out n let me know what they think. Thanx guys

A few bowls later and look what I learned how to do lol. Heres some pics of the first grow. So what do ya say they ready to chop or what

Impressive first grow + Rep

Thanx and I just realized the titled said that ooopppps thats like a huge insult hope I didnt hurt my plants feelingsBut yes the title was suppose to say IS SHE READY? Im useing a 2ft flouresent for germ stage then switched to 400watt MH for veg then to HPS bulb for flowering. Light and ballast is from HTG. Also using fox farm soil and nuets line.

Yeah the one on the left is one of the free mix seeds I got. I got 20 free with and order and i planted 3 from the mix and 1 widow. 2 out of the 3 mix were males. It's def a sativa if I had the room it would of probably been much bigger. Buds on it def arent as tight as the widow but def ended up with a good yeild and looks to have lots of crystals. Will let ya guys know the out come n a few weeks

nice grow man, very nice. you should of did a journal i would of watched.

If you let widow go an extra week or so you will know why they call it white widow. Great looking plants man!

An extra week see thats the thing im worried about the thc starting to degrade. Just about most the hairs are orange and I dont realy have a microscope to check the trichomes out. Like I said I plan on choppin her in the am. Whats the perfect magnification to beable to see the trichomes good so I can order me one up bc my local HG shop didnt have any.

Nah THC will not degrade too much and all the new tricombs that form I'm sure make up for it. Late harvested White Widow was some of the most crystal covered bud I have ever seen Tricombs even grow on the leaves and stems during the last week. Pretty amazing, check out the Greenhouse Seeds video on their site. Very cool strain one of my favorites! Thanks for the pic man

Whats if I harvest half now and let the other half go a week will I still see a difference in crystals or would I have to wait longer since I harvested half. Im gettin ready to chop today no matter what just depends on what ya guys say about the crystalization if I harvest all or just half so let me know. I'll let half go longer if I hear they will

You shouldn't even be thinking about harvesting yet, most of those hairs are still white so the trich's can't be mostly cloudy or amber. That plant should change colors...

And you need to go get a magnifying glass or something. You have at least two weeks to go is my guess.

Those pics were taken middle of last week. I dont have my digital camera on me at the moment or id take some pics now, but hairs are def about 80-90% all orange now. I got a 10x mag been lookin for something stronger but think im gona have to order one online. But from what I can see with 10x mag trich look milky and like I said its gona be going on week 10 and white widow says flowering period is 8 to 10 weeks. Can I clipp two or three branches now to compare the difference or will it harm them?

Yeah do a selective harvest it will give you a good idea of the smoke, will not hurt them. You really have to see how frosty these buds can get!

I trimmed 2 branches today gona let the rest go and see what happens and compare smoke. Just wanted to make sure that taking alittle here then a little thier wouldnt hurt it. This is my first grow so will be good to expirment do next one is even better. Thanx guys
