I am hoping for the indica pheno the finishes in "48 days"
I have RD. Not happy. They are vigorous growers but some phenos are touchy. I f'd up and vegged for 8 weeks under 24/0 and have light stressed them so they through off a male flower here and there. Because of this I harvested at ~9 weeks and they may even need 11! Heavy yield but not frosty at all. I have 3 phenos. 1 more sativa influenced (looks like may be yours) One that is vey indica dom, and another who is caracterised by leaf tips curling no matter what you do (less light and keep dry) this one turned purple on the tops. All was made into hash. They are so vigorous I am having trouble letting them go, but it seems the hermis deal has been passed on to daughter clones
. The same thing has happend to my k-train and headband, needless to say they are on18/6 now. Night Shade fem, Ak-48, a G-13 Purple lady fem, and some power skunk have all cracked and are in rockwool to replace my mistakes. I cant give up on the k-train yet as it is really nice smoke. Lots of RD pics in my journal starting about page 10. I wish you better luck with them!

Nice grow man. The AK-48 crank! ... My last grow went well. Moving onto other strains now though. But she was good quality for reasonably priced seeds!
These were grown in soil (10L pots) - I think that was week 7 out of 8 and a half weeks total? - Can't really remember, smoked too much of itlol
10 Ounces (about 285 grams) DRY and trimmed away from main stems (i.e - Into nugget form lol)
You can get your pistils to change color about anytime, just let the plant dry out, get them too hot etc. Early I would not consider it a good thing. Soon after harvest any remaining white hairs turn red.
I assume the Rd is in the orange homer bucket and the Ak-48 in the white?
One thing I have seen is if you harvest when they are how you want the trichs, by the time they dry they have gone past ie. harvest with all cloudy and some amber...finish with mostly amber. If you look at them under a scope, they are starting to degrade when they turn amber, become brittle and are more prone to fall off. Unless you are just wanting to sleep... I would say 56-60 days max, as I have seen others grow this and harvest at 7 and they advertize 48 days under ideal conditions...not my grow for sure. But then I like a heady high with my couch lock for mood elevation and anti-anxiety.

Dude if you are enriching (and have cloudy trichs) you should be good at 7 weeks. Consider flushing for the two weeks you are not there and cut a few days later. 10-14 days flush is better IMO and would rather do 16 days with no nutes than only 1 week flush, they are starting to die as they approach being ready and transpire less (depending on heat i guess). But again it is all personal preference.
Though after thinking about this, I looked at my RD indica pheno which is 6 weeks in flower and she is mostly cloudy but nowhere near done. I guess I really do not look before about 8 weeks normally and different strains. The RD trichs are very small and almost n one on the leaves, though the buds are large and sticky. I am hoping she will put on more trichs late?
She looks nice! Are your RD the same age? I have one that is 47 days today, I will put pics up in the "seldom scene garden" when the lights come on in a couple of hours.

how was the smoke from the red dYeah I was forced to harvest the mother of my RD at 9 and I think she could go 11.
