How much longer shoulkd i let her go?

im growing with a 400watt hps and im usin foxfarm nutes...im on da sixth week of flowering and im wondering how long should i let her go before chopping her down....my pic aint the best but here it is.....

At least a few more weeks. Your just getting to the point were she's going to start fattening up for you. Be patient, it will pay of in the end.

so...should i start flushing her next week and let her go 2 mo weeks after that?

I can't really see the hairs but I think they are still white?
You shouldn't flush until you have got a good ratio of orange hairs. I have made the mistake of flushing early and it sucks because by the end your babies are so nutrient deprived and tired that they don't produce the buds that they have the potential to.
Also, a sure-fire way of knowing that your girls are ready is purchasing a high power magifier (30X or something like that) and checking out the trichomes. If a good amount are amber and not milky white then you are good to go!

Oh, and cph is right about the patience, it hurts to wait but it definitely pays when you are smoking fat, mature buds.

When you say the hairs are orange, are you talking about the buds or the pistols?


Im in a similar situation and just curious where to look (n00b).


thanks!

Yeah its the pistils, they start out white and thick and then kinda shrink down to nice orange hairs.

thanks for the advice but i do have about 50/50 half white half orange on the lower buds but the top looks still white i seen maybe a few orange hairs but not many on the top just the lower buds....so i should wait till the hairs turn completely orange before flushing?

Could you post a pic to give a better idea?
You can always flush now, harvest the lower branches and continue to flower the top branches until they are mature. And if you prefer to harvest all at once I would wait because those top flowers are always the cream of the crop and you really want to have those nice and ready.

heres a pic of the top....im at about 6 n a half weeks flowering the top is still lookin like it got a bunch of white hairs still should i wait like 2 more weeks then start flushing?

you should let her go for some more,on schedule till the main cola fills out and you've got orange hairs beginning,then flush,you'll be glad you did.What strain?

its a bagseed but its gettin sugary by da day it smells like sum kind of kush....better then jus fire green....

I'd wait another week,take a good look at the trichs and the hairs,if you've got 25% orange,flush 10 to 14 days,cut,dry,and enjoy.

yup ima wait till its alteast 25% orange then ill start my flushing....heres another full pic of the plant

I agree to start the flush @ 25% orange hairs, it might take a couple weeks though the white hairs are pretty fresh still.
Well done, thats a really pretty girl.
