I thought I would add a few more pics today, I think they are done, probably flush today and cut on saturday, what do you think?

That looks done to me chappies although I must say I'm not familiar with the strain. What is it? I hope the quality of the high matches the look of the plant. What light did she get? Looks delicious but a bit scrawny.

Hi there.
While i've been a lurking reader for a while i've only recently signed up.
Now about 4-5 weeks into flowering with my first ever grow. Had some issues with pests along the way and of course the (relatively) hot summer we had here in the UK.
Hoping someone can give me a rough estimate of how long they have left.
Lights are currently off so only a quick couple of snaps of the one closest to door.

EDIT: Sorry for pics being wrong way up.

4 or 5 weeks tuxseedo, are you serious? Need much clearer photos but looking at that 1st pic it looks very close when looking to the right of the pic that's out of the direct light flash. Have you got amber trichomes?
Send better pics but if you have at least 10% amber then it's just about done. Enjoy :)

I can't recall exact timing GreyLord but I started them (put donated clones in tent) on 23rd June and vegged for about 7-8 weeks and they've been flowering ever since.
I'll do a better job of the exact timing next time round but I've basically just been flying by the seat of my pants with this first attempt.
I never had proper extraction for first 4 weeks and always thought they looked small hence the 7-8 weeks of vegging time.
They still look nowhere near the size of those I see online with similar vegging times but they did have a tough start with no proper extraction and Thrips so that's maybe why.
Not all plants are at the same advanced looking state either but I'll try get better pics up later.
Got my wee girls up for weekend so everything has to be done on the sly.
Lights on at 8 though so as soon as girls are sleeping I'll get some better pics and information posted.

I've only just ordered a loupe so can't tell you about trich colours as of yet.

Thanks for looking either way.

Hello there legends , hopefully im in the right spot to ask the question , this is my first grow in 17 years (been on veg awhile lol) and yeah things have changed somewhat , I was interested in the whole trich's under the microscope thing so I bought one and have taken a couple shots , they probably are not quite good enough to see real good but im still learning and playing , I was wondering would this be ready for a pickin? , apparently its a 9 week flower and shes at 8 weeks 2 days n I got a few naners starting to pop up so yeah im thinking of cutting it down now , what do you experts reckon??

I know it's probably still not ready but I'm thinking of chopping early because some dirtbag stole a lawnmower from my yard, If he smelled my garden chances are he'll be back looking to rip my plants.
These are Caramello by Delicious seeds.

This is my second plant ready for me to chop. It's hard deciding wether I think its ready since I'm still in the newbie stage. But from what I've read some go by the hairs and 40-50% browned and curled. But I have lots of white hairs(still straight even) but with the 60-100x handheld led microscope the trichs look ready. Past ready for my liking. I did try the little popcorn bud that had broken off yesterday, (kids and dogs) and I emergency dried it in the hot car. Smoked it and I felt so damn couch locked. Don't like the feeling of couch lock.

The pictures of the trichs are the best I could do. Damn hand held and a cell cam. FML All of the same plant. the last ones are of the top ...

Those pics look good. I am able to get quite a bit of info from them. I never go by hair coloration. It's all about trichrome development and color. When more than half of the trichromes have turned milky or opaque at the tips, they're done. It all comes down to personal preference at that point. Some growers like to let the trichromes oxidize just a bit to enhance the couch lock effects. Others I know like to yank em right when the trychs start to turn from clear to opaque for more of an up stone. I prefer to harvest when about 60% of the trychs have turned opaque.

Yours are very close. I'd say within the next 0-48 hours for sure.
