Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

You will be happy with the result if you wait 20 more days from the day that picture was taken...full weight/potency will be acheived!

Do Not Look @ Trichomes on LEAVES to determine ripeness> when a majority of the trichomes on the Calyx(swollen buds) are milky/cloudy(not transparent) and nearly ALL Pistil are red and receding into Calyx> Then it's done.

Did you only germ. 1 OG13? The OG13 has around 6 different pheno. that I saw in my 10pack.
They were all better than average but one stood out above the rest in flavor/potency but not the biggest yielder of the bunch.
Kept the highest yielder too because it fills more jars and still good potency just not like real OG^

I like some selection to choose from but some people want every one to be exact replica's

I suggest you pop a 5 or 10 pack of a strain and keep clones until you find out which are the keepers.

Thanks again for the help. Yeah it's just 1 plant. I made a small set up (1'x1'x2', 84W CFL) so I could make mistakes and learn. I didn't want to shove all in with an expensive setup right away.

Hello! Some details of my plant:

Germ Date: Nov 7, 2012
Flower Date: Jan 1, 2013
Strain: Wappa (Paradise Seeds)
Current Flower Days: 60
Medium: Soil



Thanks a bunch!

Why does every1 look at trichomes on the f*cken leaves...The Calyx are what you should be focusing on and if they are all cloudy(or mostly cloudy)then they are done. From the full plant pictures it looks like 5-10 days (from when pic. was taken)
70 days sounds about right

I've gotten to a point where I don't need a scope anymore because the trichomes make the buds look mostly grey/some orange tints on sugar leaves+Calyx will be swollen 2 the max.
After a few harvests using a scope> you will see the whole plant at peak maturity and know what they should look like.

so what you guys think I'm giving her another week I would think... she's 80 days old Dutch Passion Think Different Auto

I would assume it's to not crush the trichomes on the bud you want to smoke, and still get a general idea at what your plant is at, and overall it's just easier

what do u think of these 8weeks

I have seen more plants cut early here due to people using the trichomes to determine ripeness. There is a whole lot more than just milky trichomes to tell if a plant is done folks. I have had milky trichomes at 5 weeks on more than one occasion but I still waited til my plants were done to harvest.

to the 1st pic ..chop that baby down or I'll have to come over there and chop it myself, for the 2nd pic.. I reaaly can't tell break me off a peice and send it to me I'll let you know... and the 3rd one flush for 1 week -harvest and send a big cola over to me for proper verification.

Hello fellow green thumbs, just after a bit of advice on when to chop a few plants. I noted down when I flipped to 12/12 but cannot find the note any where! argg lol. As far as I can remember it was the first or second week of jan, and it was a Thursday, so I figure today is the first day of week 9, or the first day of week 8. I have included some pics of 5 different plants. 4 of them are some sort of cheese and one of them is some sort of lemon, I am guessing the lemon will take longer but they don't look too far behind at the moment.

Plant 1


Plant 2


Plant 3


Plant 4


Plant 5


How are they looking?

Thanks for reading! TheGarden

Here is a snip I took to see if they are done. they are at 8 weeks and I know I am anxious but I really dont want to wait too long. I might have man handled them a little before the pic, so if there broken tri's its not over ripe and falling off.

you got a pix of the plant that came off on instead of just a few bud shots?

To everyone posting in this thread for estimated harvest times




The picture I have attached here is the type of picture you want to take for this thread.

It is close enough to show the swelling but far enough to allow estimators to see all of the hairs


= a more accurate estimation for you

???? I know I suck at taking pic's, maybe 3rd time around. plant one, two and three. I have no idea the strain, 8 weeks.

Every1 on this page but Grievous69 has a month probably more...Griev. 2nd pic is done 1st/3rd have 5-10 days

Day 63 just wanted to see how long y'all think she will go AUTO NLxBBTHANKS!
