Well with one of them, the leaves are turning quickly I noticed today so I went ahead with the flush. Probably going to harvest right before or after Christmas... most likely right after. Here are a few shots of the trics starting to really show! It smells like rotten fruit in my grow room I am like a little kid at... well Christmas LOL! Hope you enjoy!

So like 4 days ago I took a sample and let me tell you I was not let down for my hard work and it wasnt even the prime bud just a smaller popcorn stem! Was smooth and gave an instant high but 10 minutes after I was gone. Definitely some creeper. I want so bad to chop em down and start the cure but trying very hard to be patient. I will post some pics later on tonight. Gonna try to take some pics through the magnifying glass ;)

I see a lot of fresh pistils on your plant.
I was about to say the same thing! Let that thing go for at least another 3 weeks. You will be glad you did :D

There is still way to much white there. Don't harvest right after xmas. The last 2-3 weeks of the plants life is when it doubles if not sometimes triple's in size.

Oh wow. Thanks so much for the input. I was thinking that it did not look quite ready. The leaves on them are starting to yellow already, will it make it another 2-3 weeks? I really have nobody but you guys to turn to here so I am truly grateful for any comments.

Yellowing is acceptable the last 2 weeks yes but I try to keep my foliage green all the way through. You can feed her some N to help compensate for that.

Any suggestions for adding nutes after I have just watered? I wouldnt want to drown my plant or lock out nutes from over watering.

Hmm do they have a new way to upload here? Tried the same way I always do but said files too large to be handled. Did I run out of space on my thread or something?

Ok figured it out. The pics I just uploaded are from today. When I went in my room this morning my plant on the right had fallen over, well several stems had fallen over and I tied them all back up no worries really. Like I said before you can tell the close up of the buds the left plant has smaller pistils and the huge buds, the right plant doesnt seem as far along and still has huge white pistils and the buds have just started popping out.

Just bumping, nothing much new to report, the buds are swelling as usual. Tomorrow will be day 1 of a week away... It will be so so sweet to come back and have them swollen to the max! Thanks for watching!

Ok guys havent been home since the 20th and HOLY CRAP NO PROGRESS!! I figured by this time they would be ready and the pistils would be red... but nope they are still growing new buds and the pistils are white all over... well most of them... I had a friend water once while I was gone. The leaves are curling under... not sure why that is happening or if its normal or what... you guys be the judges... I am thinking we still got some time here... I am going to go to 10-14 tomorrow. Maybe that will push them along a bit. As always I hope you enjoy! 001.jpg002.jpg003.jpg004.jpg005.jpg006.jpg007.jpg008.jpg009.jpg010.jpg011.jpg012.jpg013.jpg014.jpg016.jpg017.jpg018.jpg

Well guys still going here... looks like the left one may be about done, the right side one is swelling big time past couple of days so it may be close as well... Still not seeing any amber trichomes yet though. It is smelling oh so sweet though! Germinating next batch today!

See what did I tell you about letting them go for another 2-3 weeks. Told you that you would be glad that you did :D Looking pretty good for your first time bro. Way to go.

Few of them still got at least another 10 days in them. The first one is getting close I'd say within the week. It's worth the wait though. Just really depends on what kinda high you like.

Well this grow would have gone a lot better I just didnt want to waste my good seed on my 1st grow, these 2 are just bag seeds. I will germinate 3x vortex 3x blue dream and 3x spacebomb tonight. Thanks for the help though I do appreciate it!
