Any guesses as to when this will finish? northern lights. buds are starting to fill in... (how do i post pics?) http://forum.grasscity.com/photopost/data/500/medium/P1050831.JPG
Hmm... I copied link from the gc gallery. I'll search it. Ants are in pants to harvest. Most everything in garden has died except for my bright green, seven foot mmj plants. Not hidden to well... J
They don't look done to me. I use something like this to view the trichomes. Works great for really cheap: Mini 60X Jeweler Loupe Magnifying Glass Microscope +LED | eBay There's plenty of tutorials and photos that show what they should look like prior to harvest (typically 50:50 milky/amber)
8-9 weeks? should be snow on the ground by then. it's 3.5 months from seed now. i thought nl was "cold hardy, short season"? j
It doesnt depend on how old the plant is my friend. A marijuana plant could be two or ten years old if it hasnt started the flowering process. The flowering process begins due to shortened day periods. NL generally has an 8-10 week flower period. Depending on where you live, if you atarted flowering in, lets say, mid-august, that would mean mid-october to get you to the 8 week mark. When did you first start noticing the plant start to flower? What state do you live in? There are many variables - and none of them have anything at all to do with how old the plant is. Good luck. jerry.
she started to flower 10 weeks ago in colorado. if we don't get a hard freeze in the next week or two i will be amazed. i bought a 40X loupe off ebay. should have gotten some cracker jacks with it, not even worth sending back. j
I recommended that loupe because I think they work really well for super cheap. The trick is to hold it all the way down, literally touching the trichomes and then you should be able to see them clearly. It will allow you to gauge how far along your plant is. Try that and then report back if you're still having trouble using it.
tonight is going to be the first hard freeze. plant has large buds that are filling in. i put a step ladder over it and put in stakes around other plants and will cover tonight. i just hope it isn't still windy, blows the covers off. hey, i got two watermelons. and i used that loupe to examine a fly (fishing) that had impaled my dogs leg, a tiny, tiny hook. i got it out and my dog held still the whole time. fed her hunks of hamburger as i worked. j
