Hi guys

Pics below are of Barneys Flower Power Auto. They are on 5th day of flush, no yellow leaves yet which worry me a little - the other one I planted a week or two before is yellowing but these havent really changed much yet. Im planning on flushing until this friday then drying. Still got some white hairs but I know thats not all bad, ive got a scope on the way to see if it is done but if that doesnt get here im planning on continuing with the harvest friday. Let me know you think, cheers.

Hi Skataman, im glad you say that, i cant fuckin wait!! :-)

When I get a scope I will try getting some pics, would try with camera tonight but fuckin batteries, as usual, have died on me. When I took a cut to dry earlier on today I noticed it had a LOT more crystals that I noticed when it was in the tent. Its on 24/7 so didnt expect it to be covered but is delifinitely guna b a nice smoke!

Last time i took a sample i ended up drying the whole plant on a cfl, smoked it same day :lol:

Never took samples since .

Well some people swear by 24/7, other go with 20/4, but i found 18/6 yields best for me.
Make sure you get some decent photos, what's your grow setup?

Thats crazy dude, no doubt you stopped with the samples :-) This is the only sample I have taken on this grow, guna dry it properly tho- have it hanging in the dark at the mo. I cant believe ive managed to be that disciplined that I didnt take bits off earlier on. This is the same bit of bud i wanted to take off a few weeks back, but it look much better now! Guna have it when I harvest the rest of it... I cant be round that bud for so long without having a sprinkle of the good stuff.

I went 24/7 because I didnt have a timer for the lights when I started (i do now, i use timer for feeding plants) and so just stuck with it how it was really. I wont be doing 24/7 next time probs like you say just do 20/4 or 18/6. Leaning more towards 20/4 tbh tho, not even sure why really, suppose itsa just trial and error.

Set up - DR120 (1.2 x 1.2 x 2m)
Intake and extractor fan
Twin fan controller - fans still fucking loud! :-)
600w dual spec hps
wilma 8 pot drip system using clay pebbles feeding canna products. Carbon filter etc and the rest of the usual.

I am fucking shocked tho at how much this hobby can cost - I know people can do it on the cheap but my equipment etc has cost around £1k. At least I make all that back.

Plenty of views but no one answered my original question?

Does anyone think this will be about done in 3-4 days?

Will it be ok if I harvest a plant of which the leaves havent turned yellow much/at all?

The bud look ok doesnt it?? I have another plant and the leaves on that started to yellow before I began to flush. This plant still green leaves. The predicament- same drying area, I dont know what would be best to do??

If leaves ain't yellow at all this means your plant has some way to go, as they draw nitrogen from leaves when in late flowering.
Just be patient, hit your bong and relax bongsmilie

How long have you been flowering for?
If they are Indica then I'd go 9 weeks and if they are Sativa then I'd go prob 12 weeks.
They don't look done from the pics.
I'd say another week at least, but the buds look awesome. Nice and thick!

Flowering about 8 weeks for most of em, one has been about 9/10 weeks, that ones leaves are nearly all yellow. The others i think are starting to turn now, seeing signs of colour change. I just hope things yellow a bit further by friday when I plan to cut, im not being stupid for the sake of a week i should leave it if its not idea timing coz ive spent months looking after them to get em to this point.

My only prob is the grow room is the dry room, so i cut friday when they are a little yellow or I leave for an extra week at the risk of it impacting on the slightly older plant which is all yellow?? I think ill make my decision hen I have to on that.

Cheers for input all
