How long to harvest?

Top heavy plants is a good thing, just keep them propped up and make sure the buds don't touch anything. Check all over the plant for trich ripeness and as Mr2shims suggests focus on the buds, always thought that was obvious. Lol

It would be good to upload some pics before you cut. ^^^ I don't flush either.

You don't check the trichomes on the leaves. You check them on the flowers. Trichome leaves will mature faster than flower trichomes. I think you're being impatient. Why waste all this time if you're going to chop her down before time? In any case don't flush, flushing is stupid and useless.

im not impatient, im just worried. when i opened the tent and see my girl falling to the side i've just asked myself if she will make it one more week, thats what i asking you guys what should i do?. the branches and main stern was falling to one side then i tied them and when i checked again they feel to the other side. even with chemical nutes i shouldnt flush?thanks.

Tie them up so they won't fall.

I took some pics last night before that she fell to the other side, i known that i should remove the hps but i couldn't due the bend problem. i'll put others later.

looking good. they are ripening fast now. you should count from preflower, and then judge.

has been 11 weeks from 12/12, so i think 9 or 10 weeks from preflower.

soon, friend..very soon. watch trichs now.

hey RIU, almost 1 month since i start this thread and i took some pics today, i know that is not a good quality pics but here are some shoots. How long you guys think that she'll be ready? thanks

wow, she fattened up! maybe 2 weeks? what strain that its taking so long, a haze? once 60%+ of the pistils have pulled back and turned, you can crop.

are you not watering it anymore or something?

The strain is holy grail 69 from samsara seeds(matanuska tundra x chronic x haze). im growing in coco, last time i watered her was sunday and i gave her only ph'd water, im gonna water again tomorow with 400ppm of nutes and i was planning to chop her next monday or tuesday. all the leaves turned yellow and died. i just bought a scope and im gonna check the trichs at night when my lights turn on. do you think that i have 2 more weeks? she's in 12/12 for 90 days and 78 days from first sign of flower. thanks

maybe a week. i cant see the pistils in the pics, but i swear that most of them are still white and standing up, no? if you want to harvest soon, dont feed again. you should flush at least once. flush with half the size of the container of tap or filtered water.

you can probably flush, wait for her to dry out and then crop her down..that is if 60%+ of the pistils have turned.

that strain is crazy..its skunk x haze x ak47 x northern lights and whatever matanuska thunderfuck is haha.

lol, I,m gonna check the trichs at night and i'll post again for advices and probably i have 65% of white pistils. thanks for your help

thats what i thought..probably another week, maybe 1.5-2 weeks just becuase it has a lot of sativa genes in it. after the final push (fattening up a lot, which it has) the plant will ripen quickly, kind of like how when a tomato starts turning, it goes green to red in a matter of days.
