Hey guys I hope this finds you all well.

So uhm, it's day 60 since I switched to flower. It is my first organic grow. I made a simple soil mix, top dressed a couple times with amendments, compost and ewc.
I have no idea what strain it is, I have a few seeds that I have gathered, but I forgot to label them.
Anyway, one of my plants looks like she might be close to ready, I was thinking to let her go another 10 days or 14 days, but what do you guys think?

Sorry about the pictures by the way, its the best I could do woth my phone.

Almost there... couple more weeks or so... peel back that 4th pic bud and look for Botrytis ... just a quick peek looks like mold?
Thanks man, I did check it, luckily it is not mold, it's just a combination of light, the trichomes on the leaves, and my poor photographic skills.
Humidity over here has been high these past weeks, like 60-70% RH, but have 3 fans running 24/7 and so far I haven't seen any sign of mold or pm (fingers crossed I hope that continues going my way).

Almost all seasoned growers in this site will urge you to flower for AT LEAST 10 weeks if not longer. I would go to day 70, then check your trichomes with a loupe. Also, your calyx’s will be super swollen and the brown pistils will all be receding back into them. Those pistils are to help catch pollen floating in the air, when they are fully extended that means she’s still hoping she can get some dick to make seeds and repopulate. Once they receded in, she’s has pretty much accepted her fate and she will use up all of her energy she has stored up to stay alive.

2 more weeks at least! 10 weeks is standard. Looks like you have had some heat issues too

I get some heat during the morning, but evenings and nights are cold, I don't really have a way to control the temps besides the fans I got.

Rh seems a bit high …. Might want to get ahold on that but overall lookin good.
I asked around on another post about my high humidity, and a guy named goofy81 calmed me down and recommended me to get more air flow, he says he flowers at 80% rh all the time with no mold as long as the air flow is strong and constant.

Hey guys, I think they aren't ready yet, it has been only 10 days since I asked, but they are now 70 days into flowering and I thought I could post some pictures, seven o is a big number xD.

I see they are still throwing some white pistils here and there.

Not ready. It also looks like it's foxtailing a bit. How's your light, and heat?
The heat is around 24° C all day, sometimes up to 25 ish, sometimes its cold they it lowers to 21 ish.
But I think it's because my lights are about 12 inches away from top colas. I tried to keep everything down, I lst'd, I scrogg'd. But my tent isn't very tall, it's a vivosun 60x120x150 cm.
But this is the first time I try using a scrog, and the first time I use this tent, im sure I'll get things better next grow (I hope), I am going to build a real and stiffer scrogg net. This grow however I am not sure what to do with it, I haven't seen signs of light bleaching, just fox tailing so I thought I might be good for the moment.

Short Answer ….
Add a month.
A month? really, I knew it wasn't ready but holy crap, why couldn't I grow a random bean that turned out to be one of those 10 week indicas? I got another plant that just starting to turn some pistils brown, that one is going to take another two months then, flm. (:

edit: maybe you said that so I stop thinking about it. I'll post back in a few weeks again.
