When should i harvest?

cnymoeman · Mar 9, 2009

I put this plant into flowering 8 weeks ago...I have been flushing for almost 2 weeks....I started out with 5 plants under 157 watts of CFL....Then they got nute burn really bad and i choped them.....I now have 1 plant under 150watt HPS and 2 seeds that cracked the soil 4-5 days ago....I used N high bat guano for veg...P high for the begining of flowering then about 6 weeks ago started the tiger bloom....Tell me what you guys think...Oh yeah its PPP and its in a 2L soda bottle....

Just let the plant tell you its done, you'll know. Keep checkin the trichomes but I would say you could go another week, quite possibly two. On another note, I would generally never advise someone to try to go a whole grow in a 2L bottle. There is just not enough room for roots and its pretty transparent. Don't take it as a diss because I give kudos to you. You did it. For a 2L bottle you have a pretty nug so enjoy man. Nice work.

Thanks man....Yeah i would have gone with my normal 3G pot but i wanted to try this....I've seen people grow nice weed in 20oz bottles...Not sure who but i think it was someone on here....I read alot about a plant going root bound and my thought on this now is its BS for small grows....U just need to keep a eye on your plants and the nutes....I wish all my 5 made it this far....This one was my smallest and weakest plant before the rest died....

Anyone else have any advice about when i should chop?

Just put my plant into 48hrs of darkness....These pics were from me putting her to her last sleep.....Whats up with the hairs? A shitload of new hairs have grown and they were really pointy? Anyone ever seen this?

i think you still have another couple weeks. at least one. if you have already been flushing for 2 weeks your leaves should be dying soon. wait for them to go yellow. then chop that bitch.

on my indicas, i always let ALL of the pistils change to red and dry out before I harvest. this guarantees they are fully ripe and able to plant me firmly to the spot where I smoke them. this usually takes 10 or 11 weeks on plants that the breeders suggest 8 weeks of flower.

Right on well its kinda too late now that it has 24 more hours in the dark....It was a full 9 weeks...I didn't wanna go to far with the plant....My first female so...But what do you think about the hairs how come they were growing like that?

I was at 9 weeks of flowering with the plant.....I choped today and hung to dry over my light and new plants.....I'm hoping for a half z...I am very happy for growing this plant in a 2L soda bottle that was cut down....It can be done!!

the hairs were growing like that because the flowers were not yet mature... What do you mean go too far??
