Mind is right about about 4-6 more weeks on the flowering, however the best way to check for a new grower or even an old grower is the trichomes. Pick yourself up a microscope or magnifying glass that is at least 30x magification, you can purchase one from Radioshack for less than 15 bucks that one is 60x - 100x magnification if I remember properly. I'd get it to make sure but it's kind of in a box.... that's duct taped.... so yeah lol.Greet and Bake. Back with some pics of the girls. Its about 6 wks flowering now and I cant believe I made it this far as first time grower. I wish they would finish already. How can I tell how much time is left until harvest? My lower branches are starting to fall off and turn yellow and brown, is that normal? Thanks 250
The lower leaves yellowing out is perfectly normal Sp4ce don't worry. It's the plant using up the remainder of the Nitrogen and other resources from the leaves. Just let those leaves fall off, don't worry too much about them, just keep it clean on the top soil. The yellowing will be more rapid when it's closer to harvest. If you're not using Molasses yet you should get some Unsulphered Molasses and use 1-2 tablespoons per gallon every feeding. I use Grandma's brand, you can find it at any grocery store pretty much.
The plants look good, especially for your first time. Great job Sp4ce keep it up! Think of your plant as a fine wine, you don't want to rush the process, or else you'll end up with product you won't be satisfied with, and after all these months would you really want to do that to yourself? Lol the wait is long but surely worth it, hang in there buddy.
Cool beans dude.

FYI, I harvested my 3 girls today. Last batch of 3 dried to 5.7 and this one looks bigger. Maybe 7. 2-Barney's LSD and 1 Blue Cheese.
Hey Team,
Im officially on my 8th week of flowering now. My sativa ( the one i posted pics of a few pages earlier ) has about 50% amber pistils and the other 50% still white. How will i know when it is the proper time to start the flush? I think Doobs comment was that "its a 14 weeker". But since its my first time, i lack the experience to know when its flush time and even chop time. So any info is appreciated.

Congrats! Please let me know how the LSD turns out. Can you post picks of that?
I was trying to decide between Sweet Tooth and LSD. But i ended up choosing Sweet Tooth when i ordered my beans

This stupid blackberry sucks my ass for browsing the site and such. Hope all the plants and you guys are doing well. Hopefully I am back before everyone harvests lol. Much love 250 and happy growing and toking.

Ok since I got my Blackberry to work as a crappy modem for my computer. So I have internet browsing now lol.
Anyhow iDrops this is a quote from an earlier post to another club member but I think this will help you out.
"The best way to check for a new grower or even an old grower is the trichomes. Pick yourself up a microscope or magnifying glass that is at least 30x magification, you can purchase one from Radioshack for less than 15 bucks that one is 60x - 100x magnification if I remember properly."
Now keep in mind that Trichomes and Pistils are 2 completely different things. Trichomes are clear, cloudy or amber, the more amber trichomes the more heavy the stone, the more cloudy the more clear.
Hope this helps.
The more the merrier lol, welcome to the club Pitbull.
Got the internet on the laptop up and running just in time lol.She should be done this week
I got the internet running but it's pretty slow, so I'm going to hold off on pictures until we get high speed back because this is so slooooooow, and uploading pictures? Pfft not enough herb in the world for that wait time lol.

ya so I have a question for you guys. How far does the 250 have to be to start loosing valuable lumens? I would say that my light is no more then 12 inchs from the top of the plant. am i still good

No problem dude.Thanks Doobieus!
If your temps are stable 68F low - 78F high then you want your light 4-6 inches away from the top of your canopy. This will provide a very good amount of lumens for 4, 3 to 4 foot plants.
Hope this helps.
