This forum is awfully clicky, a simple question from someone who is new to the field, can't get even a response kinda sucks. I know a lot of you guys know what's what, and could help a lil fella out but shit. This sucks. If anyone can help, I'd be happy to help with my knowledge of the automotive industry. I'm a master tech for Chrysler, and worked for gm and Honda. Btw I wish I was still at honda haha Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Sometimes it takes a day or two for someone who can answer your question to come along. It has nothing to do with the forum being clicky. You started the thread at 10:30 at night and bitched about the members 6:19 the following morning. The forum just isn't that busy. As for how long you have left, looks like about 5 weeks to go
Have a microscope like this http://www.amazon.com/Carson-60X-100X-MicroMax-Microscope-MM-200/dp/B000P8AUMU and it will help a lot, if you go off trichomes. Past that I can't really help, but I'd say longer based on that last picture.
I'll grab one from my grow shop Wednesday. Thanks man I appreciate it, but this sounds retarded but where do I find trichomes? Sorry like I said I'm new to this. Ya think more than two weeks? Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Trichomes are the crystally frostyness that speckels the bud. The heads of these stalked glandular trichomes are colourless, they become cloudy as harvest time approaches and will eventually given enough time turn brown. When you start seeing a few brown ones dotted about its harvest time. But you are a long way off from this. You have about 5 weeks left to go. Your pistils are still white, you must be one week 4 or 5 at most
Wow that far? Some of the buds are doubling in size like 9 inches. I started 12/12 late April, hmmmm. Maybe I'm just an idiot, but they are swelling like crazy. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
That last photo looks like a week 4 bud and the rest look like a week 5, so I'd guess you have 4-5 weeks to go. The size of the bud doesn't make any difference, about 9 weeks is a pretty standard timeframe, buy you sometimes can get early finishers. I don't think yours is though
Awesome thank you so much, I'll swoop a microscope and check it out every couple days. When do ya think I should stop giving em utes? Do they look ok? Good? Great? Sorry I'm just super excited for my first grow Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum

http://tehbosh.blogspot.com/2010/04/harvest-time-or-is-it.html this should solve any of your when to harvest questions.. no microscope needed, altho i'd invest in one still, to check them, after you start to see the indicators on that link posted above. Hope this helps. it sure helped me on my first grow.
you stop giving them nutes 2 weeks before harvest.. i never flush just water them plain water for last 2 weeks make sure you saturate it well and some leaks through the bottoms of your planters... not too much just gradually.
Its that last photo that looks like it hasnt even reached mid-flower. I would concentrate on getting your temps down and learning about trichs, pistils, calyxs etc... It will help you along the harvesting process. Sent from my HTCEVOV4G using Grasscity Forum mobile app
