  1. So, I see growth everyday but how much longer until I can harvest this thing?

  2. If you see growth everyday that is a sure sign she need more time.
     
    Throw us a bone if you need help.
     
    What day of flowering?
     
    Strain?
     
    Anything?
     
    Go grab a cheapo hand microscope, trichomes are the only real tell IMO but if you are measuring daily growth you have weeks to go yet.
     
  3. How long have they been flowering?

    I've been growing long time and it might be possible to harvest in a month, but I doubt it ..... To me they look like 6 to 7 more weeks.

  5. You think that soon?  I would give them 6 weeks at a guess, but at least a month for sure.

  6. Also I dont know where you live etc but Id be remiss not to warn you about growing with a dead-giveaway LED spectrum in a window.
     
    If you live somewhere cool, disregard. But security is #1

  8. Bloodbooger and mad professor are dead on. You still got 6-7 weeks dude.

    They're gonna look ready to smoke in 4-5, but those extra two weeks will make a world of difference dude.


    On a side note, I'm not the biggest fan of microscopes to tell when its time to harvest. The uniformity of trichrome maturity across the entire plant is unrealistic in my opinion. You'll know when its ready, as a fully mature cola has this sort of shiny/amber glow about it that makes it easy to tell when its mature.

  9. My brothers met their neighbors by asking about the led lights thy could see from their house. Dude walked straight up to em and asked if they're growing because he wanted to check it out because he was thinking about buying some clones from the rec dispensary...

    Turns out most everyone in Colorado is really fucking cool and now they swap clones/harvests all the time. Lol

  10. I have a 7 foot wooden "Privacy" fence between me and the neighbors. They are illegals and don't speak english. However, I usually have the curtains closed, I just open them on real sunny days.

    Thanks for the tips. I will post more pictures on January 11th and look to harvest on my birthday = January 19th!

  13. OP, most photoperiods require 8-12 weeks in flower to be finished and most auto flowers take 6-8 weeks to finish. How long have yours been in flower?

    So, I first posted pictures of flowering on December 10, 2014. When I posted those pictures my plant had been flowering about 2 weeks.
    I believe I'm in the 8th or 9th week of flowering. The Cola is heavy as are supplemental shoots. The hairs are still white. I'm not seeing any that are turning a copper color. None of the leaves look sticky.
    What do you think? 2 or 3 more weeks?
    I've switched to straight spring water to flush the plant. I've noticed a little bit of yellowing on the tips of the leaves.

  15. I'm not in any way an expert but it looks like all the energy is going into fan leaves instead of fattening the buds. You may wand to trim her up a bit before the finish
     
  16. are you checking the trichs with a louper's scope or pics with your cell phone magnified, with at standard room white lights on.
     
  17. I have trimmed a lot of BIG fan leaves and I was wondering if I should trim some more. I'll do that tomorrow and also try to get some micro shots of the flowers. Thanks for the tips.

    I did some Major trimming today. My plant looks a lot better. I also noticed that the white hairs are beginning to turn! I started this plant from seed. I purchased the seed from "Attitude Seedbank". I've purchased several times from this company without complaint. The seed is either "Critical Kush" or "Purple Diesel". I really don't remember which. I believe I started the seed in October. This plant is about 4 and a half months old.
