Okay first time Grower here and I don't know that much about anything really. This is my first time I've actually got a seed to sprout and turn into a mature plant. My question is, are these done yet? are they ready to harvest? if not about how much longer do you think it will take?
No, they look like they've for some time left. Jist ny pistils alone, you've got a couple weeks I'd guess. How long have they been flowering? As I'm sure you've read, the only way to be sure about bud maturity is to inspect the trichomes.
They been flowering for about 55 days +/- a day or 2. The package said 55-65 days of flowering. But when I first started this grow I only had a 150 watt cob, I ran that for a few weeks (just vegitative growth) now I have that and a 1800w led and they really responded well to that. I have 3 critical purple autos that just poked their little "heads" out of the soil. Want to try to have a perpetual harvest going. I'm sick of spending $ on it every month so I decided to grow my own. 1st attempt at a :real" grow. I have a magnifying glass. If I take some close ups can you be more certain, not doubting your experience or intelligence by any means just maybe a closer look would help.
Oh and thank you for taking your time to reply to my questions. This is one community that I am proud to be a part of.
The recommendations on the package are just an estimate, assuming perfect growing conditions. Usually add a week or two to ballpark it. But, yes post pics of the trichomes and we'll take a peek!
I agree with everyone else, not quite there yet. Also I adjusted my own count back 1 week. I was counting from when I flipped to 12/12. You need to add 1 week to account for transition or you may be too early.
You're probably the closest to the harvest timeline. This is just 4 days after my initial images uploaded...
I'm not sure I have had no problems with lights going off or anything like that. I just added the last round of nutes the day I sent the first pics and accidentally gave it too much. I dont know much about growing yet but they seem pretty good to me. Ignorance is bliss I guess.
So..... what's that mean? Depending on what you were trying to say. I assumed you were commenting on the explosive growth of the fan/sugar leaves in the 3-4 day gap in between pictures. Am I correct on my assumption?
