does it take 11 weeks for a plant to be ready?..i bought a 100x zoom scope to look at my trichomes but all my tricks are clear..i see maybe 1 or 2 tricks that are amber but the rest are just clear or a little cloudy..i'm thinking it has to do with my lights..i honestly didn't expect to get this far but i did..i have three 26 watt light bulbs from and aerogarden with two 20 watt tube lights..soil is miracle gro organic choice soil with fox farm big bloom and tiger bloom

pics? It has nothing to do with the lights if your light schedule has been 12 12 for the whole 11 weeks... Probably a sativa dom strain... Are the leaves thin or wide? Sativas can take up to 13 weeks or more...

ive been there man, i had this papaya that i hit with to much nitrogen all through flower and the nugs were plentiful just small, immature and no fully developed trichs. Also if your working with sativa dominant it can take a while, 11 weeks isn't unheard of. I like to run mine, all of them for a minimum of 10 weeks. I'm all about the couch lock. Be patient, see if you can't wait it out, maybe snip a fluffer nug on the bottom and give it a vape. Also did you flush to early or have any problems in flowering?

you can chop now ppl like to chop when milky white for that head high and you have a few ambers also yea you can chop now or leave 3 days in the dark so they can give you all of the rest that theyve got then chop

also did you count flower from when you started 12 12 or when it first showed hairs ?

2011-12-05_20-40-08_389.jpgas you can see my leaves are fucked on this bud..im not sure if its a deficiency or when my light fell and got too close to the plant (the light was a little to close to the plant for about 25 min)

I've heard of some sativas that run for up to 15 weeks. I couldn't believe it when I first saw it. But if thats an indy, it shouldn't take more than 9-10 weeks TOPS. I'd chop her personally but I enjoy a mind fuck of a buzz. To each their own.

well if you do it from when buds appear then yeah yoius hould be good ive taken indicas past 10 weeks before to get the couch lock


but its not like it is stamped on the seed to be done in exactly 9-10 weeks ive seen them finish later and some very early just depends when it decides its done but if they are clear and some cloudy then id let it go and just check it day by day

check your ph man, im pritty sure its off by looking at your pics, if its off in the wrong direction your preventing the uptake of essential nutes for flowering. imho i would give it a week more, and last 2 days of the week in complete dark before harvest.
