Some plant pics for readiness question!

I jurry-rigged up my scope to my phone (pain in the ASS), but did get some photos.
Week 11 tomorrow.

The trichomes:

Was told a couple weeks a week ago. Just wondering if it's still on track...

I'd say so from what I see .....the bud pics are blurry though ....but either way yes more time still

How much longer would you guess?

New pics since last time. Any closer to being ready? I don't see much amber/brown trichomes looking through 60x loop. Maybe a couple here/there. Concerned these will drop completely to the floor before they're done! Been trying to support them, but they keep falling over. We're talking about week 16 or so in flower here...

Did you take those pics under HPS lighting? Either way it's difficult to gain an accurate assessment of their progress, other than to echo what Inda said.

Yes, but compensated for lighting using camera color temperature setting. I can block the light or take one while off if the compensated settings are not accurate.

they look good to me depending on the brown to white hair ratio

what kind is that 16 week flowering omg

I'd wait another week or two. Can you post some new pics of the trichs?

White widow, 1st grow. Annoying waiting so long. Had to move 2 from veg that were getting too tall, couldn't wait any longer on those. Hopefully these bitches will get moving...

Still, many growers prefer cultivation of the original White Widow, which flowers in about 60 days indoors.

Not many amber. SOME had some more amber last week, but not near the 50% ratio I was looking for. The majority of the plants (4 of them) still have barely ANY amber trichomes. Here's some new photos of the plants, no closeup trichome pics, don't have phone with me right now. These are now at just under 16 WEEKS flower!

I have 2 additional in flower for about two weeks in the back, they got pretty tall, so I had to raise these bitches that are at about 16 weeks to match the height. As usual, the next clones are getting too big, waiting on these slow White Widow's.

wow, yeah I'd say at least another 2-3 weeks.

At least .... 2 weeks

Thanks, think this is 2 weeks past last people said 2 weeks.

No more visible white hairs, without any good trichome pics I would say they are done. Not sure if it's the lighting but they do appear to be cloudy amber

Put them down to 10 hrs of light a day

i'm at exactly the same place you are, and i plan on going to day 80. day 65 right now and just starting to see any ambers on the buds themselves, even though the sugar leaves have a good dusting.
you've been budding for 15+ weeks? i'll be done by 12....something aint right in your room.you said you have a hps, what wattage is it and how high is it above your plants?
And 50% amber is a LOT, i like to pick at around 10%. the plants continue to mature for at least a week after you harvest, so by the time you dry and cure 10% could easily become 15 to 20%.....50% could become 65% or more

Harvested on 8/22, and staggerd harvest to a week after that. I think the light was a bit high, had to raise to fit extra plants. Now have 2 hps 600s to cover extra plants. Been using buds and they make me tired, more relaxed, which is what I wanted.
Ended at 15 and 16 weeks.
