Hi! I have these Valiriaand Mk ultra and I lost count of the days leading into flowering, plants are supposed to be 60 or 65 days, they should take about 40 days but it seems to me that already are ready .....How do you see? The first two are MK ultra and the other two are Valiria ... Thanks!!

Ready to harvest? PICS
- Thread starter Mr. Fly
- Start date
Usualy when the plant starts to slow down, it kinda gets a "depressed" look to it. It'll satrt taking less feed, and less water. On most strains the pistils will be a reddish brown, and most all stop throwing out new pistils towards the end, or a very very limited amount.
You can also buy a jewelers loop and look at the trichomes. Most should be cloudy with some amber ones. If you see mainly clear trichome heads, it's not ready yet.

Thanks, I know taht, and normally i dont have problems with harvest but this plants look like are ready before the supossed date....You see the pics now??
Thanks!!!!
Those plants do not look ready. I would say at least a couple weeks left.
Plants don't "finish" according to an arbitrary date printed on the package. It's more a general time frame. IME 8 weeks is the minimum. I only begin to consider harvest after then. Usually 9-10w is sufficient.
Not sure what you mean by 40 days. That is an extremely short flowering time. If your plants have been flowering for 40 days, you have weeks to go.

Ah, I see now. Beautiful plants man! I'd go with what Ron and hush said
Thanks for the replies to everything, this is because in Spain (I am Spanish) is a person who says that the general "theory" to cut the plants is wrong. According to him, most of the people being cut to late,he says that the optimum point is before the pistils become dry and trichomes become amber. I asked him about my plants and said they were already cutting but really did not think too much. I copy the url of the forum where such person has his theory with photos included, you might find it interesting, at least it's a different point of view. That if the texts are in Spanish, but you know you ought to use the same Spanish translator ... And sorry for my Inglés, I know is really bad!

His ideas seem to be based largely on anecdotal evidence rather than anything substantial - I wonder what THC his 18% buds would have tested for if he'd left them for a little bit?
Have a feeling his theories wouldn't go down well hereabouts.
