Day 80 from bag seeds. Day 47 of flowering. I am thinking another week and start to flush. Mostly cloudy Trics...have not seen any Amber yet.

Any chance I can smoke these by 4/20??

Pics 3 & 4 look totally done, but I can't see the first 2 pics very well... And Even then, all i'm seeing in pic 3 & 4 is the 1 bud. But from what I can tell, if they ALL look like that, it's ready. Check the trics if you can, but if you can't, go with a decent 80-20 on the red hairs (80 red, 20 white). They look great man, congrats on your completed plant.

That's gonna need a few more weeks, maybe 2 or 3. But if you want, take some new pics in 1.5/2 weeks and repost them. Also, it's VERY helpful if you use the closeup setting on your camera (if it has one) and get as close as you can for the shit, it will let us see the hairs and possibly even the trics. I have a 12MP camera and when I use the closeup, I don't need a microscope to see my trichromes. But other then that, it looks great, keep up the great work, and in no time you'll have a beautiful harvest you can be proud of!!

ARE THEY READY YET?
Not bad for a 1st timer huh? :leaf::shock:
[video=youtube;7-WDyUfjVrQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-WDyUfjVrQ[/video]​
Video won't play in your post, you might as well have just posted a link instead of embedding the video, as I had to go to YouTube to actually watch it...In any case....
It's hard to see them very well, as the video as long as is a mixture of pictures and video kinda randomly MASHED TOGETHER. But my personally opinion is that they're not ready just yet.

And VERY IMPORTANT what Kelvin are those CFL bulbs your using??! I can see them hanging over the budding plants. They really should have hoods if you've got as large a grow as your video implied...
You SHOULD be using an HPS on those beauties, however CFL's WILL WORK...however, if the spectrum of the CFL's isn't in the 2500-3500 range, then your totally off, I only ask because they look identical to the CFL's i'm using to Veg with. And if so, your on the opposite side of the spectrum then you need to be on...Perhaps it's the video's lighting, but to MY eyes, they appear to be 6500K 26W CFL's, but PLEASE correct me if i'm wrong, it's no bulb expert, they simply look identical to mine as I said.
Now, you CAN find some decent 2300K like...75W (75 ACTUAL WATTS :P not the stupid equiv number) Soft White CFL's @ Walmart for about 9 bux each, BUT, for the area of your grow room, (as least from what I could discern from your video) you would need about 20-40 of them, meaning it would be ALOT cheaper to get 1 of 2 600W HPS with MH converter so you can use the same light(s) in veg and flower, you simply use different bulbs!
Anyway, as I said though, those don't appear done, they're most likely need a few more weeks, MAYBE even 3 or 4, but it was hard to tell much about them from the grainy shots and far off pics.
I'd say good luck, but it seems you don't need it, your plants are coming along very very well, but think about that HPS, your ladies will THANK YOU with stronger and denser buds!! Great grow, keep it up!! :P

Well, pic 3 didn't tell me much, but pics 1 and 2 look DELICIOUS!!! I'm salivating just LOOKING at them, and in my opinion they look pretty ready to go!! If your gonna flush, id go for it. And i've had a number of experienced growers tell me that after you do your flushing (if you do multiple flushes, on your LAST flush, flush with ice water and mimic the first frost, which should kick the bud production into over drive in an attempt to finish it's life cycle before the cold weather kills it)
But she looks amazing, and i'm betting she'll smoke amazing too!!!
Do you have a rough tric color %?? Clear/Cloudy/Amber???

View attachment 1516987 whats the guess on this little girl ?
Can't give you one, except to say that it's NOT ready. I can't see much of the buds, but what I CAN see looks all white, look at the "How to harvest" thread, theres an example of READY, and NOT READY buds there. It should help you better understand when YOUR plant is ready ;).
Some info that would be helpful would be to let us know how long she's been flowering for, can you see the trics? AND are you capable of taking closeup pictures with your camera, most digital camera's have a "Close-Up" feature setting, which should allow you to get a decent shot of the BUDS THEMSELVES, that's whats gonna allow us to make a guess about if it's ready or not. Not just seeing 1 picture of it as a whole. :-P

So repost with better shots and I can give you a better answer ;)

I suppose you COULD smoke some on 420, but it wouldn't be finished curing, it you'd be kinda lucky if it finished drying. It need a couple/few more weeks before i'd chop her personally...
I'm not seeing much red in the hairs at all, just white. Cloudy trichs is a good sign, but after flushing, it takes like a week for the soil to dry up, and depending on if you do multiple flushes or not will determine how much longer it might take you, plus you have to factor in dry time for that much bud, maybe 1 week, 2 at the most, then factor another 3-8 weeks curing. (depending on your personal preference involving the level of desired cure you want your bud to have)
So honestly, I wouldn't COUNT on having it harvested and ready by 420, but if you only flushed once, and dried quickly, AND skipped the cure altogether, I SUPPOSE IT'S POSSIBLE...But it would be a shame to not let it reach it's potential...

Anyway, good luck, MORE PICS IN A WEEK IF YOU WANT ANOTHER OPINION!!!

ice cold water on the last watering before harvest!! wow, never thought of that, will def give it a try!! +rep
Yeah, i've done it a few times, but I don't have the scientific wherewithall to PROVE IT. But if anyone disagrees, i'm all ears as to why you disagree. And thanx for the +rep....Did you actually + my rep? Or are you JUST SAYING "+ Rep"

To + Rep, you click the little STAR ICON that is just under the persons signature and to the right of the "Journal This Post" button, and to the left of the "Report Post" yeild with an exclamation point inside...

They are 8 weeks under 12/12 as clones. I was told they were a 7-8 week strain. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
