Ok i am really getting impatient with my grow because i have been flowering for 9 and a hafe weeks (65 days) and still 90% of the hairs are white so i don't know if i should chop because i already added 5 more days to the calender and i am supposed to harvest tomorrow so should i keep flowering or chop her down?

Don't chop until she's ready. It's all in the trichomes, wait until they are cloudy and amber. Forget about exact dates, or when it's supposed to be ready.

Why would you even think of chopping them down before they are ready? You invested how much time and your wanting to chop them down early because your impatient? Dood, what about dry/cure? That takes a good 5 weeks minimum if you do it right or are you going to smoke it as soon as its dry?

What strain is it? Is it Indica or Sativa dominant? (Sativas generally take longer). What lights are you using (CFLs generally take longer).

Bottom line is... it's all in the trichs. If she isn't ready and you chop her early you will be VERY disappointed and all the time/effort/money you put into her will be a waste.

Without pics we are all just guessing here but it sounds like she is still not done. Put up some close up pics if you can....

EDIT: Don't forget .... you should do a good 14 day flush prior to harvest ;)

Have you looked at radioshack? They have the handheld microscope and the jewlers loop magnifying glass.

By those pics it is not done, they fatten up a lot in their last few weeks, so you will be highly disappointed if you harvest early. I say go 2 more weeks and then check in with us.

Judging by the pictures it looks like a nice cross... maybe 60% Sativa / 40% Indica... of course that's just a guess by what I can see. The leaves don't look narrow enough to be 100% Sativa.... hmmm... maybe a 50/50.

Anyhoo.... since we can't see the trichs and the pictures aren't really that good (closeup / clarity wise) I'm going to judge it by the overall plant color. Seems too green still to be done. Usually you will see A LOT more yellowing of the leaves near the end of the life cycle. I'm guessing she's got at least 2 more weeks. :peace:

when i did my bagseed, they fattenned up very considerably in weeks 6-8, so i'd suggest waiting, my first grow actually took 12 weeks of flowering before she was readt

If you are getting a 11mp camera, it should have a decent macro setting. Get as close as you can with the macro setting, make sure it is focused, and take a picture.
