Last 2 weeks of flowering and all fans turning yellow?

my Nirvana White Widow at final flush....zero fan leaves...makes harvest a breeze.... ...5% amber



So, what is your flowering time for the Nirvana White Widow? I'm just about at 10 weeks and all three phenotypes (and they are pretty distinct) look ready to me, harvesting tomorrow... I've got a few more fan leaves than that, but they're all yellow at this point, and haven't seen any increase in bud size in the last couple of weeks, and I'd say 90% of the hairs are red... haven't gotten into the wide world of trichome counting, but I'm pretty confident I'm there. Thanks!!

P.S. Do you find they take FOR EVER to clone? I'm almost at 3 weeks in an EZ Clone machine and they are just nubbing... I've found the same in vermiculite/perlite... trying my patience.

If you haven't been looking at trichs then you may be off slightly. Hairs are for sure the most inaccurate way to judge if a plant is done or not. Its all about the trichs, you just need to look at them under something that magnifies. That said, nice buds and you'll have a very nice clean smoke :)

about 9-11 weeks is normal for me...:yoinks:...I nute and/or water to the point of starvation thoughout the whole grow...so ...I end up with all buds ...no leaves... ...the plant just sucks the leaves dry. Once all growth has stopped...I just wait for 5% amber trichs to show...

no experience at clones...sorry

gonzo... either my magnifying glass is not powerful enough, or I'm too lazy, either way I don't think I could count 5% amber trichs through it.

Pinball... thanks again! I'm at almost 10 weeks and I need to cut em down because of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday... next time I'll get into the trich counting thing...

Here's a couple of pics I just snapped... wish I had a better camera, can't really get close enough to see the trichs, but they'll have to do.
