[magilla gorilla]

hey, she is about 6 or 7 weeks into 12/12.. can't remember exactly when i flipped her.





any ideas approximately how long is left?

 

[k-town]

DAMN! Those are fat ass buds. What lighting are you using?

 

[magilla gorilla]

just one 400watt HPS

 

[magilla gorilla]

any guessing as for the time frame till harvest?

 

[shrigpiece]

i have to say they look pretty good, what strain are they? as for flowering id say 2 weeks. PEACE

 

[magilla gorilla]

bagseed, 2 weeks sounds good.. ill my flush in about a week or so then

well there only to make sure is to look at the trichrome. you will need a microscope for this around 100x-140x magnification. like this one http://www.420science.com/420_scope/420scope.html .you look close to harvest. cant believe how dense they are. Great job. also wal-mart has those microscopes. remember dont water for 2 days before harvest

 

[magilla gorilla]

thanks.. we don't have walmart in aus. but i will look around for an equivalent.

Another way is to look at the hairs. when there all no longer white then its close

Wow dood! All that from a 400w.....must have been a good bag

Killer Cola's dude. I can't tell exactly how far you are but even as fat as those nugs are the hairs look a little virginesque <--- is that even a word. What percentage of your hairs are red? Are you leaves starting to get a little crunchy?

 

[magilla gorilla]

most hairs are a yellowy white.. hard to tell with the HPS lighting. But some hairs are turning like a reddy colour but that seems to be happening mainly on the immature little side buds :S and i'll test the crunchyness in a little while and report back

Edit: they don't seem very crunchy. not really sure what i'm looking for exactly though

Even before you flush plants leaves are starting to curl and get crunch. Don't be afraid to walk in there with a regular light while it's dark to examine them. It won't hurt them. 70%+ red hairs, leaves starting to look a little crunchy is a good sign that you are close to flushing.

If your leaves look super clean and grean plus just white or yellow hairs, you have a ways to go. When I see hairs pointing up like yours, that tells me they are a little young still. As the darken they curl a little.

There is a great Harvest tutorial in the Harvest section.

That's a sweet plant man i would try to keep that strain going if you can.

 

[magilla gorilla]

thanks Dubsfan.. ill check on her tonight with a torch when she's sleeping. and thanks dpjones. i plan on keeping it going already got 2 clones vegging atm

 

[magilla gorilla]

the leaves are starting to brown at the tips and curl up. and also there are a few red hairs appearing in random places over the canopy

Do you have a Radio Shack or care to purchase online?

You need lots of red hairs dude...a few isn't enough. I don't check Trichome color like Brick recommends but it's a very very popular method for checking ripeness and would say it's a worthwhile investment.

that looks like its gonna be a monster yield. congrats
