Id say just going off the look and the fact your only 5.5 weeks thats its going to be another 3 weeks but you should get atleast a 30x magnifier so you can see when the trichs turn color

Got one, but they all look cloudy, but i know it's too early for that, so they must be clear still. It's hard to see through that thing...LOL!!!!
Thanks man! I was aiming for 8 weeks, but it's bagseed, so who klnows, right?

If you know how long they stretched for then you can figure it out roughly. They stretch for about 40% of the flowering process. So if it stretch for 18 days then it should only take about 45 days. But it all a matter of opinion when to chop

how do u get such a thick stem??
ya no shit that stem could support the biggest buds:shock:
Well, i vegged this one for almost 8 weeks, after being topped at about two weeks. They started under alot of CFL's, which makes them a lil more bushy and thicker.

Also, constant air flow across them gives them the strenght to survive in windy conditions from babies.

You should see the stalks on some of the new ones in my journal. They are bigger in diameter than a tire gauge.

Dude, this is my first grow, i have no idea how long they stretched.
Too worried about not killing them, light distance, moisture level, insects, PH levels, air ciculation.....ETC!!!!

Thanks man!:bigjoint:

check out this link it should help
get yourself one of those lighted magnifiers at 30x as soon as you can so when you start watching the trichs you can see change color. seems like it takes forever to start seeing amber trichs.
dont harvest to early most of the weight will pack on in the last 2 weeks

i would think if you want some couch lock then when you think its ready to chop, wait 2 weeks. patience is the key.

indicas, I pull when the milky ness is almost clear(less couchlock)...sativas, clear to coca cola(more weight).
MIlky ness is almost clear?
Now i'm confused cuz i was told they would go clear, milky, amber.
But you say milky to clear? Could you explain a little better? Thanks man, It's the first harvest coming soon, so you know i'm stressed over it, Don't it go wrong

This is the hardest time to wait, near the end... I have about 2 weeks for some of these and 4 weeks for the sativas in the lot. This is all for me, I only grow for my own use.

Then you have at least another month to dry and cure properly too but you can start smoking before then as long as you keep the rest of it wrapped up to cure.

They look so good I want to eat them.

Very nice!!
None of mine look like they are starting to go yellow yet. This will only happen when i start to flush, in about a week or two, right?
