Flower help

Flower help

Hi All~
Just a quick question for now: Is 10 weeks in flower unusal? My guess is no, but I am not quite sure(actually not 10 weeks until x-mas day).

The girls look wonderful, but my good sense(hopefully) says to wait a bit longer to harvest. The fan leaves are still mostly all green and the buds keep getting bigger.
Is it ok to let them flower more than 10 weeks? I mean, it won't hurt the quality right?

I have my trusty radioshack microscope and the trichs are not as murky as I think they should be.
Also, the hairs are about 60% amber...would like to have them 80-90%.

Share with me your various words of wisdom o desert dwellers!

Thanks!!!
Bruja

either way your going to have some good buddage, its up to you, as long as there still putting on weight and are still maturing let them go, days are strain dependent.

Bruja64-I have a cross I am chopping down this week at 70 days, and a couple others a week later at 77. Depending on the strain, it can definitely go past 10 weeks. The hybrids I have are Sativa dominant so they usually go to at least 65 days, sometimes as long as 12 weeks. If you are waiting for the trichs to change to your liking, I definitely don't think it will hurt the quality.

EatShitake-nice looking buddage bro. that sweet kush is blinding.

peace all

Thank you Joesy & Old Soul.
These buds look really fat and happy & am still getting growth, so am just gonna wait(now that I have been reassured).

The trich color is just not where I want it. I have lots of patience when it comes to plants(unlike so many other things in life).

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Hey hey! Happy New Year my fellow desert dwellers!

Been a busy year so far outside the room as well as in. Took down a few plants...Venomhead, SweetKush, and PineTarKush. Threw up a new 1K light and redesigned my ventilation. Still got plenty work to do...a never ending list it seems!

Well, I finally got a battery charger for my cam, so pics to follow!


Hope everyone had a good holiday season and is adjusting to 2009 better than I am LOL

scifreak-looks good. what strain is that?

Here are some dried pics. Two phenos of Chrystal and the purp is Blue mystic.














peace all!

 

[Bruja64]

You all make me jealous! What amazing photos and breathtaking buds.
That Blue Mystic is one I am curious about. Have heard many good things about it.

Josey W---I am so NOT good at description. But I will try: The smell is AWESOME! They could bottle this smell as an airfreshener it is so good. Like Pine w/ a bit of sweet summer sage. I can just open the mason jars and enjoy the fresh mountain like aroma.

Smoke....I haven't tried it yet. I know, what a dork. But I am sort of sentimental on this one and would like to have certain people with me when I light up. Perhaps I will have a weak moment this evening while watching the dogs play outside and sitting under the stars in my rocker(god that makes me sound ancient).....we shall see.
If I cave, I'll let you guys know.

 

[Grizz]

all I can say is when guys and gals wake up you really put on a show.. got my co2 hooked up today. finally after 20 plus years gonna try the gas,
