They are looking good. They will fill out a lot more in the coming weeks for sure. The brown hairs is normal I think. They have more to do with the environment then ripeness I believe.

Yeah man, give her one more load of nutes before you flush, they are only like 37 days into flowering right? Are you going to let them go for a full 7-8 weeks? You will thank yourself if you let them go for like 20 more days, they will really swell and get fat in the last two weeks of flowering.

Do you have a microscope doctor? That will really help you know how close they are to being done. So are you going to give them one more drink of the nutes before flushing?

Yeah im going for one more dose on nutrients. then im going for 2 weeks or so flushing depending how the hairs turn out.

Very good, just keep in mind that the hairs turning is not the best way to know if they are ripe as they have more to do with the environment then ripeness.

Well this harvest i cant afford a microscope so ill go with my intuition. And im not sure if that is right schoolie when plants are close to harvest hairs will turn brown reddish. how would it be the envirment changing the colours?

This is true that the hairs will turn close to harvest but I also know that some plant's hairs can turn brown/red weeks before they are done. If, for example, there is alot of heat. This is what I have seen happen with some of my grows and also I have read this on this site. I could be wrong though, hopefully ngt, fdd, or an expert will throw in their 2 cents.

I have witnessed what you speak of... what i think it is though, is that sometimes the top of the plant will display a lot of new growth, so you don't see the brown hairs as much as you would lower down the plant.

I harvest from the bottom up, usually. By the time actual harvest comes I'm usually left with just the colas.

If your plants do brown prematurely, this usually means they are dying. I saw this happen to in one of my dwc grows. 3 plants sharing 18 litres of water is not a good idea. Two of the plants strangled one of the plants, which stopped growing about half way through flower. All the hairs started turning brown.
