Opinions on how much longer

This lady is currently in her 8th week since I flipped the switch to 12/12 and I need your opinions on how much longer. She's a random bagseed and I've got six 42w cfls going. I checked the trichromes with a 420 scope but that thing is super annoying to get a good look with. From what I saw there was a mix of clear and cloudy. The main colas seem to have a ton of white hairs still on them, while the smaller random buds seem to be further along (see last 3 pics in separate post). The entire plant still looks super green, with barely any leaves dying off so that along with all the white hairs makes me think she's not even close. Thanks for any opinions!

I'd also say it needs another 2 weeks. They look very nice, it seems to be foxtailing just a little but just on the tops. Very nice looking plants!

Thank you for the replies!! Do you think I should start flush now or wait another week? It's soil and im using fox farm big bloom and tiger bloom

I'd quit feeding nutes and give a couple heavy waterings before harvest. I like to dry the soil out really hard right before harvest so it doesn't take so long to dry.

don't flush, its a plant in a pot, not a toilet.
looks nice, i'd say 3 weeks to a month. have patience, they'll swell in a couple of weeks, they look healthy, you could get close to a 50% increase in that last two weeks.
the leaves look fine, its a natural thing that happens as they approach the end, called senesence, its the plant taking mobile nutrients from old growth to feed new growth, in this case, buds. i'd say feed them normally for the next two weeks, then drop it by 50% for the last week or two. thats as close as i ever get to flushing

Is that magnesium/calcium def rust spots on the leaves? I'm no professional but maybe someone else knows

I would not flush yet if u are going that route. They still are filling in. Wait till white hairs recede and you will get much more yield.

I'd agree that you can ignore the rust spots, continue to feed blooming food for 2 weeks and post another set of pics. So based on your first pics posted on 4/12, take more pics around 4/26 and post them. You'll probably need at least another week (5/3), maybe two maybe (5/10), but we'll know better when we see the 4/26 pics. Then if you're a flusher, you can use water only that last week or two.

Took all your advice and just kept feeding. Today I'm noticing some serious fox tail action on the tops of the main colas. I'm only using cfls so not sure how they're getting heat stressed, I moved the light up anyway. The tops of the colas seem to have many more white hairs then the rest of the stalks. Got some more leave browning going on but like you all said I think it's normal. Here's a pic update, lmk if I should take more. Thanks!

cut back on the fertilizer some to slow down the fox tails, especially nitrogen if u haven't already. Once they start they usually don't stop though good luck. Genetics, heat, humidity, over fertilizing could all contribute to foxtailing. Your fan leaves look pretty green for the most part, looks like you have some CalMg deficiency going on but a bit to late to remedy that. On your next run give them some. I'd just give them mostly water, maybe a bit of PK and let those fan leaves lose some color and see what they look like then.

Ok will do. Update from today: still a lot of green, and now they're getting heavy so they're falling over. Need to prop them up. The fox tails definitely have more white than the rest of the buds. Looked at the trichs and saw cloudy and clear, but more cloudy. Didn't see any Amber. Go another week or so?

no matter how far along you are there will always be someone that says, " One more week"
In my opinion she looks finished. I would chop the the next morning when the light turns on after the dark period. Some strains never get amber trichs, and I personally would not wait for those. Fox tails will always keep on growing white pistils so be aware of that.

she is close - you could chop her in a day or two or let her go another week. it's up to your personal preference. chop some down tomorrow and let the rest of her go another week. see what you think of the smoke if you are planning on running her again.
nice job on not chopping her two weeks ago! :weed: she looks great!
