Is she ready?

[Angelstar45891]

Just curious what everyone thinks about her? 8/9 weeks into flower.

 

[greenspiritz]

What strain is it? Have you checked the trichomes with a magnifiers loupe? Pistil colour is not always the best indicator.
They look very green still for 8/9 weeks flower. Do you have a picture of the overall plant?

Here is her in dark phase. Not sure on strain. She was just a shot in the dark seed from a dispensary. I believe she could be lemon haze or white widow??

I'd say yes. A little early is better than late for me.

Nice flower for sure.

Give it another 5 days.

Personally, I honestly don't think she's done. The calyx don't look swollen enough, the leaves are still green, still looks to be shooting new pistils out. Most strains normally force some form of yellowing near the end, unless over fertilised.

I'd purchase a magnifiers loupe to check those trichomes, something like this one 60x 100x magnification.

She looks great

She's being flushed now. Some leaves are turning. This is my first ever grow and it's outdoors during day and indoors at night. I noticed she's still shooting pistils and beginning to fatten intensely. No special equipment used during this grow. Yes I was using a nutrient that was added to the water. Only fed her during her flower. During veg, just plain water. She'll be 9 weeks in on Sunday. Thanks for all your insight so far!!!

She'll be 9 weeks in on Sunday.

In 5 days like I mentioned above she'll be 9 weeks + 1 day and ready. Told you.

You're right on the money

It's funny how you got the exact age of her with your estimate she's 9 weeks Sunday and picture was taken yesterday lol. Thank you so much

Awesome! She looks really healthy for your first grow, good job
Yes, flush would be perfect now. Lemon Haze flowering time is normally 9 - 10 weeks.

Can i ask how long you have been keeping her in the dark each day, and have you slightly under her hours and forgot to put her in the dark?
Because this could add a few more days flowering time, over the course of the cycle.

 

[Angelstar45891]

She is getting right about 12 hours dark. She was waking and sleeping with nature. I was running her out with the sun up everyday. But the hours are shifting as the season ends. How much should she get

So she's still developing I had to remove a bud due to a damn caterpillar getting inside of it. What y'all think

 

[bushed]

You mentioned it is still fattening up in a previous post. Once you observe this process slow down you will know its time. I dont think you will be disapointed if you took it now to be fair, it looks great.

 

[Angelstar45891]

She has stopped getting so fat and she is getting flushed. The buds just seem to be continuing to get ripe. But I'm extremely patient ��

 

[greenspiritz]

Flush 2x the volume of pot with pure water, let the soil dry out a lot, take off the large fan leaves and put her in the dark for 2 days. Then chop

 

[Angelstar45891]

Please advise what you mean by twice the volume of the pot? She's in a 5 gallon bucket. Just with magnifying glass, I see the trichomes standing tall and true.

Drying soil?
