First time sativa grower needs help!!!

Hi guys...

I'm a first time outdoor grower from Switzerland. My plant has been flowering for 9 weeks and the weather is turning cold and rainy, so I am wondering how much longer it will take before I can harvest. The plant's leaves have been turning yellow for a while and I remove them as I go. I have stopped adding fertilizer about a week ago.

Don't know what strain of Sativa it is, it was a seed out of a mixed Sativa seed bag.

Can anyone help me out? I added some pics...hope they are ok!

looks like a sativa dominant hybrid...the indica is displayed in the nug structure you have there...wait till 75% of hairs are orange/brown/red...then use a 30x scope to look at the trichs...its all in the trichs...its all in the trichs...btw...your woman looks gorgeous! very healthy!

Jonboy30 is right invest in a mag glass to check the trichomes. From the pic's another 3-4 weeks but you can only tell but checking the trichomes.

Thanks a lot! I talk to her a lot

I ordered a 30-60x scope, but its going to take about 10 days for me to get it. Its almost getting frosty here...I live near the alps.

About 10% of the pistils have turned red and I wonder if it will take two more weeks or longer before I can harvest. Maybe I should move her inside my apartment, but then she wouldn't have complete darkness? I am just scared that she can't handle the 5 celcius / 45 fahrenheit nights!

Too bad the other 4 seeds were males

Some real helpful dude gave me some pic's on one of my post's of trichomes in different stages, the dude is a legend

I am a first time sativa grower and yeah she is just starting to get trichs and plump out at 9-10 weeks. She looks like she will be huge, first I was unsure how I woul dever even trim with all the skinny leaves crowding the bud but now I see how they are being taken over by bud size. . I smoked some, my first sativa off a last run that failed for emergency harvest blah blah blah and wow! sativa is worth it. Like I cant get any higher!

But I just fed mine some botanicare and sweet grape and she is likeing it.

its up to your taste too. i like maximum ripeness and full couchlockyness(as if thats a term) id feed your plant once or twice more and harvest in 2-4 more weeks. i have no idea how the weather in Switzerland is, i hope you have plenty of time to finish that lady out. she does look really nice. im pretty sure if shes a strong plant, if you cover her at night she can survive a few frosts

Put her indoors that frost will kill her

looks beautiful!
maybe look into bringing her inside, even if it is only for a week or so.
that extra week will make a huge difference.
i would try and keep it next to a window and supplement it with fluorescents.

if its been outside in the ground for a while it might not be that easy. the root system could be huge and the stress of a transplant and moving it indoors would be about as bad as suffering a frost or two

i dont know about this, id devote a whole closet to the cause if i were you OP(Original Poster), that is it you go down that road. i think it would be best to see how thing go outdoors for as long as you can, but also maybe start hooking up some CFLs of floros in a closet

@ KaleoXxX: I have her in a big bucket. I moved her into my guest bedroom for the night. Its dark in there. I can move her back outside in the morning when its a bit warmer. Hope the weather turns back to normal here. It should be about 60 degrees out at night, but its been a lot colder for a while. Cant move her to a closet since she is bigger than any closet I have

you shold be golden then good luck, and let me know when your harvesting, send me some pics or something
