How long until done ? El Dorado

I would of left 7 more days but need to put my next batch under lights and wanted to try her 13 weeks flowering is a long time..LOL my next grow is 60 day autos

can you journal your next run ?

or should i say are you journalling it

I would've left it 15-20 more days:
Sugar leaf Trichomes are not what to look @ to determine ripeness.
Mostly Cloudy/Milky Trichome on Calyx is what to look for...

I think of long flowering plants in a different way:
13 weeks is a long wait for unfinished bud, I'd much rather wait another 2-3 for the best it can be.
Some Sativa plants take 16-20 wk. to finish, looked like that one could go 16 easy.

Those auto's should finish quick enough for ya!

After 5 days of drying i had to try and OMG it is really nice. I wish i could grow outside and let her just grow.. I filled up 4 - 16oz mason jars full

El Dorado (not cured)
Smell 8/10 sour/skunky smell
taste 5/10 it is not cured but taste like bag weed
high 9/10 hits you hard at first then mellows to a even buzz, very energetic and clear - more of a high not stoned which is what i like 80% of the time
average high 2 - 2 1/2 hours

I might make a batch of tincture with some of this

thanks for the report, damn, starts reminding of the glory days of mexican back in the 70's
one of the reasons i've tried to follow logs on this strain

After drying and 3 weeks of curing, holy shit what a diference. This stuff is super strong and smells like i strangled 10 skunks.

I have to say this might be might new fav, it hits you super hard and almost makes you think you smoked too much, but 15 minutes later you get 2 1/2 hours of laughing and just fun times. I recommend this to anyone looking for an old school high, Only thing is it does take a while and I should of let it go another 10-14 days but it is still awesome.

I am hoping legal growing will be in my future and will grow this one outdoors and see how big she gets.

laughing, now you're talking my language/memories of mexcan from years ago congrats on this harvest, i have watched for grows of eldorado, and haven't seen a good result until this thread

Eldorado has a few different phenotypes, all great in my book. A few will be ready in 9-10 weeks, most in the 11-12 range. The longer you can wait, the better....

Without closer inspection...Looks like she's ready when you are!
