Are you talking about indoor plants when you say to wait at least 2 months into flowering before checking if they're ready? Because it seems like it would be different depending on the environment & how rapidly they have been growing.
I may be wrong but, I think with any strain it is gonna take a minimum of 2 months for it to reach some form of maturity.
Different environments do affect the rate plants grow.
I think you still have a 2 month minimum that it is going to take to flower maturely
. Some may take 3 months.
Basically he was saying that you should not be expecting your plants to be ready before that time frame.
Just don't expect them to be ready a month into flowering.

It´s a clone of Alien Dog. It´s my first grow, so take this in consideration lol... I already gave her the final flush... So I´m thinking in about 2 more weeks... I´m going to do a partial harvest since the top buds are maturing much faster then the botton ones. Opinions please....

The hairs won't tell ya much. I've seen the hairs turn red and the plant still went another month.

I've seen bud start turning all red hairs and then it shit out a bunch more white hairs and then those turned red! lol

You really gotta wait and watch that bud fill out. Take a look around the forum at others' harvests. You'll notice on many that the hairs are almost shrunk up to nothing before they were ready.

edit: for example look at GidgetGrows' buds right above this post. Those hairs are real tiny right? That plant is close if not ready. Check the trichomes!

Yeah man. Two months is pretty standard. Maybe even 3 months. And that's after seeing the first set of hairs. Most people think that when they switch the plant to 12/12 is when it starts flowering. It's usually another 1 or 2 weeks before it really starts flowering at that point. And from that point is when you got 2 months. Of course there's the exceptions, there always is, and that's exactly what this thread is for. :weed:

This is my first garden and my second post!
I have tried very hard to find a scope in my area, but nobody carries the one that I need. SO! Would I be able to use your experience and wisdom to look at a few of my plants and tell me if it's time to cut these girls down:)
Again I am new to this so I am just experimenting with some bag seed. I have no idea what strain they are.

Tofino, I'd let them go at least another week, if not two. You'd be surprised how much more they'll fill out if you let 'em go.

Really? It has been 9 weeks, and the hairs are really starting to turn amber. Oh well, I will wait it out! I have never wanted to harvest a garden as bad as this one!!!!

Well, the hairs are still long. It seems to me that the plant could fill out more, but maybe someone else can give an opinion as well. 9 weeks since 12/12 or flower?

hi there! indicas here (hindu kush) now seeing week 9 in 12/12. was wondering when to take them. no amber trichs yet, but i'm wondering when they would be expected to finish. so much for 45-55 days! the buds have slowed their growth and i believe they are now ripening. smaller buds seem generally riper.
