super silver haze has been flowering for about 10 weeks. im abit skeptical to chop coz i feel the buds could get bigger. trics are all cloudy - looked at through a 100x scope.

these pics were taken on 26/1/09 so she has produced abit more bud since these were taken.

anyway, advice on chopping them this week please - i need to harvest coz im going to amsterdam with my gf on 11th feb. i will need drying and curing time inbetween then.

i can provide updated pics later tonight if needed.

cheers

Thats a big girl you've got there! Personally i'm more of an amber high kinda kat but to each his own. Your leaves are all turning yello so thats definitely an indication you're about done as all of the nitrogen is draining from your leaves & going to your buds. How far away is your light? What kind of nutes are you using? What is your PH? What kind of light are you using? If trichs are all milky you could harvest but it'll b a heady high....if you can stand to wait a few days you should see at least 20% amber otherwise it could be lost potential.

light is a 600w hps. it is fine where it is, ive done the hand thing and its at the point where its warm-ish but doesnt burn. nutes im using terra flores, NPK 2-2-4. not sure on ph, last time i tested it, it read 6.0 i think, it was fine anyway.

some of the yellow leaves at the bottom was nute burn but seems ok near the top. just curling.

Well some strains do just take longer than others...a few days could really make all the difference in the world. Did some searching and it appears ssh is listed as a 65-70 day flowering period. If you're at 10 weeks then it appears you're right on track bro. Harvest now & have a more heady high or harvest in 2-3 days and have a deeper couchy high....your choice. In either event, it looks like things are as they should be for 10 weeks with this strain.

Time is of the Essence my friend, im sure you were already aware of this you seem like a smart guy that knows what hes doing. As far as the SSH goes im not sure on were my buddy got his genetics but it was the real deal and don't expect fat tight nuggets. They will be more on the lose fluffy side, it truly is a gourmet smoke with its classic sides shining through after it has been properly cured...(His was on the same track as yours just a 400watt hps his finished i believe 11 weeks)..skunk, pine, a medicinal haze smell, honestly you wanna keep on smelling it..this high is just capital with a energetic type with its mostly sativa background. Its almost so intense at the same time you could mistake it for an indica if you did not see the plant it self and had no prior knowledge. You will be pleased to say the least, I say let her go for another 2 days at most...you know if you used something sugar based like say molasses 1tspn to 1gal...next time you grow use it through out your flowering period, it makes all the difference in the world believe me your buds will gain weight and fill out more and bring out the true taste and smell of your dope...make sure your giving it straight water for your last couple weeks of flowering, obviously its to late now but in the future. Even while flushing you can still use molasses it hurts nothing. I wish you the best and happy growing.

Post them pics to id like to see it recently instead of a few days old, during flowering things change so fast there for a time being the end of flowering they could still fill out more you never know i guess but im thinking your SSH girl is at what shes gonna get, flowering time is just about up...so pics would help also thanks bud.
