When to harvest my Sativa

Hey fellas, I kinda felt like a masochistic monster chopping one of her flowers, but I just couldn't resist the temptation. Can you tell me how much this beauty has left? Here are two pictures of the plant and one of the harvested and wet trimmed bud hanged out to dry. She's been flowering for 7-8 weeks now....

8-10 weeks

Smoking that early nug is gona feel like pouring coffee straight into your paranoia gland

That's far from being ready. True sativas go a long time. I've had them go 20 weeks.

That plant looks pretty rough. It might not make it as long as it needs to go. It's hard to tell from those photos but looks like bugs.

Yeah, I've had mites on her, but chopped those leaves that were infested yesterday hoping it will be enough. Although, I thought I was closer to harvest so I wanted to avoid using neem oil... I guess i could use it now since it needs that much more time?

Are you just growing it in the middle of a storage shed, or is it just there for these pics? You might want a more isolated grow space to keep bugs away.

I put her inside while taking care of mites & chopping that one bud. Its usually outside on the balcony. Btw, about your previous comment, why'd you think it could cause paranoia?

Don't spray neem now. And I don't know how long that's going to take but it's going to be weeks. Some just keep going and going while others

Dude I'm growing this for my mom mostly, she loves having a puff before sleep, so thank you for the warning. I'll have to try some before letting her smoke

Thanks dude, I'll post an update in two weeks then. Hopefully mites wont return.

Trust me, your mom wants a nice indica hybrid that'll have a muuuuuuuch shorter flowering time, tighter buds (usually), and a phenomenal effect. These heady sativas are for us stoner types who wana giggle and bro it up with our friends, Moms want medicine lol. Best of luck!
