okay first of all sorry for posting again another lame post but ! i need some help i rly cannot decide should i harvest em or not,and will they lose potential if i`m late .yes i have microscope but seems to be out of order, i rly cant see anything with it .so here are some pictures,i hope that its not too late.i am first time grower.btw i rly cannot remember what week of flowering is now, i was away for a while (blush).also i found 1x seed(very little and green) in two of them, is that bad ?its a 14light 10 dark cycle,feeding with a high burst of nutes so i`m wondering if they can turn red because of the nutes.btw if you are wondering why branches are hooked up like that, they were nearly about to break.any comment will be good.thank u and have a good day.

flushing just means stop feeding nutrients and give it plain water for about a week or two before harvest. if you don't flush the buds will tastes like the nutes

Thats because there 2 different people lol. For the first guy you have about 2 weeks but thats a rough estimate. The second guy you have at least 6-7 more weeks.

KENSOU (first person) i would say start flushing them now, then in a week/2 weeks harvest. For what it's worth (and apologies if you already know this) I would use a flushing agent. I know, I know many will argue you don't need an agent in the water but i have done two grows and the flush solution compared to water was better. There was also a lot of reading I done on harvesting - so many different opinions but mine worked perfectly:

Cut all the buds off very gently, place in a cardboard shoe box with several holes cut around the sides (for air circulation) and place it somewhere dry.

ty guys, will keep that in mind.just one more question.a friend of mine gave the 3 kind of seeds with "this is a skunk, this is some other sort" but i cut off some of the lower buds just to check it and i didnt get high.is it just that the weed isnt rdy yet OR seeds was just bag seed and i lost my time .

u should of atleast caught a little buzz how did u dry please dont tell me microwave .... the best way to tell is gett a 60 x microscope form like radio shack ... and look at the tricombs if there 75 percent amber its ready ...u really dont get the full effect till u dry and cure it right it makes all the differnce... the seed grew so it cant be a bad plant ..

hahah i thought it was the same guy . my bad ....
I'm confused, my plant as started budding with the white pistles but how long from this stage can i expect to be able to dry and smoke it, i have already taken a cutting from her and it is growing fine, my plant goes in the garden (green house) by day and a dark room for 12 hrs at night,
is there anything i'm doing wrong.
it's my very first plant.
