  1. lol :p check this link again by another browser!

     
  2. I always thought the rule of thumb for harvesting is when all trichs are cloudy, full and at least half are amber in color.
     
  3. Hey guys,
    it's been 4 weeks since my last post, asking you, the experts here, if it's time to go for harvesting, since i'm a first-time grower.
     
    Since then, the whole plant has started to turn almost all its leaves to yellow day by day, smells a hundred times more intense and the flower buds have started to ger fat and feel a bit sticky to the touch near the trunk.
    So, what do you guys say? Should i start chopping one of the following days?  :smoke:

  4. Well, I'm a bit confused, this baby looks ripe to me and is on week 8 of 12/12, So I want to shop it down, but the trycomes are to cloudy, not to many amber trycomes, what do your guys think shoul I harvest now or not.

  5. I am nearing the time to harvest my ladies from my first grow. I've been reading all I can on when to harvest, I have a hand microscope and the trichomes are turning milky Yah!!
    From what I've read I need to flush the nutrients out of the soil and let the plants use up what they have, which from what I've read this can take up to 2 weeks.
    How do you decide that it is time to do the flushing? Will my ladies continue to mature during this flushing period?
    Help!!!
     
  6. you flush 10 days to 2 weeks before u want to cut your plant down & they will mature threw the flush

    BigC

     
  7. Hi I was wondering if my baby was ready to go or if I should hold off a little while longer I still need to flush her but she's a auto white widow x auto jack horror been flowering for about 3 weeks now 1383173790701.jpg

  8. I'm at 7 weeks today, I switched to 12/12 within a week of them showing sex, I know I have about 2 weeks to go, I'm not impatient. Pistils are just starting to color and shrivel. Trichs are mostly cloudy. They are ww x bb, does my timeframe seam reasonable? Thanks for any input guys! 1384230675313.jpg 1384230685499.jpg

    your buds look way too imature for your leaves to look that shitty.... i think you need to water them and feed them asap
     
  15. Water seems to be the need. I forgot to water my vegger and the leaves looked dead. Straight to the ground. 
     
  16. Yeah I watered the day I took those photos. Any idea when it looks like it would be ready?
