First Outdoor grow! Is it Harvest time?

[puggy88]

Hey all. Planted my group August 17th. They have been grown outdoors in a tropical environment. It's Looking close to harvest time, but as I said, this is my first grow and not 100% sure. I've read alot on harvest times, but wanted to post some pictures and get the PROS opinions. Any info or help is awesome.

• First pic is of all the kids
• Pictures 2-3-4-5 are of Plant 1 (4ft tall), the tallest and fullest
• Pictures 6 and 7 are Plant 2 (3ft tall)
• Pictures 8 and 9 are Plant 3 (1.5ft tall)

All planted at the same time and given same attention. I do not know the strains. Info? This will be my first harvest as well so any advice as to the simplest and most effective harvest process would be awesome!

I can take more pictures and post them if these are not good enough. Just let me know what details need to be photographed.

Could you be a bit more detailed. From what I gathered you said that Plant 1 (the tallest) will be ready to harvest in a week, but how much time for all of the rest? Anybody else with feedback as well would be appreciated. As much info and detail as possible please. Thanks in advance

sorry lol i ment they all need more time the 2 on the far right>> second/5th row about 1-2 weeks if good weather. and the others need probly 3 weeks. i look for the collor of the plant like the grey collor and how much thc produced so far leafs are full/ grey collor with alot of pistals or if they turn orange then their done. should look like snow on the plants when ready to chop down

Thanks for your input. The tallest plant, plant 1, looks to have patches of white on some of the leaves. Any clue what this is due to? I fertilize once a week with a diluted combo of big bloom and worm castings, and I water generally once a day, or when the soil is dry.

Anyone else have more insight? I would love all the input I can get so I have a better chance of not losing these guys

Nobody can tell you if they're ready from pics. It's somewhat a matter of preference anyway, but they all look like they need more time. Go by the trichomes; see the 4th pic in the first post in this thread (you'll need a pocket microscope -such as are available at any radioshack for < $20): http://forum.grasscity.com/advanced-...rt-thread.html
