Hey, quick question how long has she been flowering and under what type of lighting? Also, so you know the strain and the normal flowering time?

never put your plants into floweering when they have any problems! EVER!

can you tell me more about your growing conditions?
nutrients how much how often?
soil or hydro?
size of plant soil mixture and pot size if growing soil

ph, lighting and wattage and temps humidity?

if growing hydro what are your water temps ppms?

basic conditions are a five gallon pot with miracle grow potting soil and miracle grow indoor plant food. it has been working perfect for a while now and about one week from me flipping the plant for harvesting i get these weird problems. The plant is lit by hid's. the buds seem to be fine but i dont want to chance anything and kill it.. what would be the worst that could happen if you flip a plant to early

Hairs almost brown, flipping? I am confused. Has this plant been on 12/12 and is ready to harvest? Or are you currently in veg and want to flip the lights from 18/6-12/12? What do you mean by flipping? Also, does this MG soil have added nutes already in the soil and you added more nutes?

its ready to smoke like that kinda harvesting . my question is what can happen if the hairs arent brown enough yet and i flip it early, the plant has been flowering for like 6-7 weeks

[teezony]

the hairs that are still white will get brown or red during the drying process if u say that they are almost all red id say its time to go so flipp it man

The best way to tell when ready to harvest is by looking at the trichs under a microscope. If you don't have a microscope you can cut some off, dry it for 24 hours or bake it for a few minutes at 250 degrees in the oven, and smoke test it. The curling and browning of the leaves is normal and happens when the plant is almost ripe. Good luck and enjoy the smoke.

Also, stop feeding the plant 2 weeks before harvest. At that time start flushing the plant at every watering. A flush means if you have a 5 gallon pot, water it with 10 gallons of water. If you don't do these things, your weed will have a funny home grown taste to it.
