Supsup!!
I have been out and about for the last week or so so no updates! Finally I can fill in with some nice news! My girl in the cab is doing AWESOME!! I see her everyday and se still blows my mind! Not the biggest plant I have seen but she is my first grow so I have reason to be proud haha she started tusning her white hairs amber about 5-7 days ago and she has more than doubled that already! I would say she is at 30% - 40% amber now!
she is still growing taller, just very very slow, about 1cm in the last 2 weeks, but the buds are getting fatter! Amazing how sticky they are aswell, resin bloody everywhere!
Tomorrow is feeding day for her with just purified water and molasses, full 500ml of it, I feed her 500ml every 3-4 days now. Temp. is 24'C - 28'C lights on, ±18'C at lights off and humidity around 35% lights on and 55% - 60% lights off..can't get it lower even with humidity packets and rice! But I have a few questions if anyone will be willing to help me please!
1. She is 87 days old, 42 days of flowering (exactly 6 weeks), I know its still a while, but how do I know when she is ready? If I want a hype type high, do I harvest when cloudy?? Will use a microscope for that when its needed
2. When do I stop giving her nutes? She is still getting 500ml full strength nutes with molasses and purified water every other watering.
Any input would be awesome! Anyway some pics, these will be the last of the good quality pics for now, they were taken 6 days ago, will update tomorrow with new pics!
There you can see the hairs changing color.

Looks tasty dude . Now that it is deep into flowering one can see by its buds that it is definately a hybrid . From the top it almost looks like a White strain like White Rhino .
If you patient try give it another 3-4 weeks maybe harvest it the 1st of October
it will be well worth it and should still be a head high .
Plant looks good and healthy still and your environment is dialed in nicely , good updates
Get others started if you intend on pulling this one soon . I just read what you said about the hairs , I dunno because my Swazi had hairs where way more degraded when I harvested it and cured for 3 weeks and it had a very strong cerebral headhigh . However that is pure Sativa . Looks still mostly white though
How are the windowsill darlings doing ???
Peace

Why do you say you can see its a hybrid? How? Wonder what's crossed with what then haha man I was hoping that I could harvest at 8 weeks but I knew 10 was going to be it!
The hairs are now a full 40% amber, when should I start looking with a microscope? And where exactly again? Haha
The windowstill girls are heading into full flowering, massive long white hairs coming out everywhere now! Will update with new pics as those are a week old now

Shit dude, this grow looks dope. I think he thinks it is a hybrid because of the big leaves on bottom, and thin leaves bottom. I don't know, it's hard to tell because of the way the leaves are tacoing. I'd say indica dominant, because of the fatness of those bottom leaves. Also, wait for 90% red hairs. It's most important to wait for the pistils to recede after nearly all of the hairs are red as this will result in a swell that will add 20-75% of the weight you see now.

Oh oky ja I see, I have no idea, would be awesome if I knew what this was coz the smoke is alright with a few seeds in it so this should be better! But those bottom leaves that are basically completely dead, can I cut them off? You can see in the pics how brown and crinckley they are.
Do the pistols recede? I want to look thru the micro scope but I don't know what to look at haha where do I look to see the trichomes? Is it the sticky resin? But thanks dude, have got 3 more lined up for a 12/12 from seed grow!

I took a little sample, the smallest bud I could find from the bottom and quick dried it in the microwave for 10s intervals, I know its not the best way, but I wanted a tester and man was it good hairs are at 50% amber now, maybe 60%, I got a microscope, will check it out tonight and update with pics! Still wana know what to look at? At the resin on the sugar leaves so I can see if its amber or what?? Thanks! Btw I'm at 7 weeks flowering in 2 days time

Update with pics! I reached week 7 of flower! She is doing awesome! I could finally get some shots under the microscope but that must be 1 of the shittiest microscopes in the world, gives you 400x magnification but you can hardly do 20! Anyway, fed her with purified water and molasses today, full 600ml worth, no nutes from now on for her. The buds have doubled in size and she is at about 60-70% amber hairs!
Here are some pics, don't know if you can see exactly, but can you tell me how long still and what you think I should do next? Thank you!

Hey man. First post on this site. May I say. Sweet grow! That lady seems awesome and frosty.
I think with harvest, Dont go by the hairs. But by the Trichomes, You'd probably want Cloudy with just a very slight bit of amber starting to show your head high hype sorta shit.
Keen to see the end product and weigh in and smoke report.
Im just doing my first grow but its over on Grasscity. I won't post the link but search it if you want.

Yeah I got a 400x digital microscope, but those pics I have there is the best I can get from it..is there any way you can tell there if I'm at amber/cloudy or clear thrichs? I want to harvest when they are best for head high, I sae there when to do that, but with no descent scope/lupe I can't! That's why I asked about the hairs haha
I checked out your grow dude, nice bushy plants you have there, I also had 1 similar, back in my grow journal like page 4 or somewhere there you can see, very very bush but short, had 16 budsites growing up after I lst'd and then turned out to be male, but you can def train that plant, just water atleast 1-2hours before you train and do it in stages, not 90' at once..although I did haha
I'm doing a scrog in my next grow in a pc case, saw you wanted to scrog? I put a screen up yesterday, but the plants will only be in there in about 2 weeks, so I'm still testing everything out, temp's etc! But good job!
How long do you guys think I still have to go? 2 weeks? They're at about 70-80% amber hairs right now, on 14/09/12 its 8 weeks flowering (2 days from now)
Thanks for all the feedback!

I just went to check on my girl before lights off and I saw some funny shit going on underneath 1 of the leaves on a small bud right at the bottom of a branch and saw something yellowish that looks like a flower..turns out that's what it was!! I search the whole plant and found 3! O cut them off but they had pollen inside them, they weren't open yet but some pollen did escape..what do I do now?? Do I wait and cut off everything I see or do I harvest? I would say I still have about 1.5 - 2 weeks left of flower..
Please help!
