ya again, that first pic tells me for sure at least another 3 weeks. thats definitely not just a few limited new hairs on foxtails. You gotta do what you gotta do and iam sorry to hear they gotta come down early.

Me to and this is the third wave of white hairs. I know you can't see the trics on the leaves, but they look wet. Anyway from what I understand ready is dependent on the high the grower wishes to receive is that correct? So if I chop in he first week of November I should at least get something decent after a week of dry + a week of cure right? Or if I cut then I'll just have waste?

I apologize for the bad news, but it is your strain. an 8 week scrog works because the strains used are 8 week flowering strains. Your strain is a good 12 week strain. If you wish to force it to ripen quicker, cut it down to 10 hours of light and 14 hours of darkness. This will decrease yield, and possibly potency, but at least you'll get to chop and dry in your current location. It sounds like you are beyond happy with yield anyways, so go ahead and shorten the light cycle. Instead of 3 weeks, you can finish up in a 1-2. I'd start flushing too.

Happy Harvest.

Oh and klosetking Im sorry if I came off sounding like my plant was better. Not my intention, I know from looking at my pics the the buds look WAY better in person. So I'm sure your plants are way more frosty than my one is, just right now mine looks and smells like grade A kill. I'm just very inexperienced with the growing and harvesting as it is my first time so I'm not sure what she will yield and how potent. Also I don't believe I've seen 1 amber tric honestly unless it's new tric growth I can't tell if they are clear or not. They all look cloudy to me.

Well I would shorten the light cycle but I'm hoping this plant saves me from
Eviction. I already have some bubblicious seedlings in the same tent starting their 3rd week of life and when they start flowering I'm converting my small tent into a 10 plant SOG. I have some bubblelicious outside of the tent growing to be mothers to continue the SOG.

Lastly any link to good cloning advice would be wonderful I took clones from a blackjack plant and lost all of them. I need to work my cloning skills.

Some pics of the tent. My setup. It doesn't look like she is missing many fan leaves but I cut off about 2-3 yellow / browning leaves everyday. Should I have kept adding my 1/4 veg nutes till about now? Sorry about the large pics. It's hard to upload them to my account with just a phone for Internet.

They are looking good dude, and taller than mine for sure (at least the 2 citrus pheno i grew). Your yield should be nice. That one looks like its the citrus one, kind of lemon-fuel scent? you should be excited its great smoke!
And nah its good i didn't take any offense, was just tryin to spread some information since i got some experience with both phenos (that i could find info about) and have already chopped one. Which leads me to why iam posting.
Watch for translucent trichs. I noticed on my girls (both the citrus phenos) that some trichs, but not all, will come in clear > cloudy > translucent (clear yellow). Granted i have plenty of actual amber trichs, some have turned only yellow from cloudy. Somethin to watch for =D
on a side note, i personally wouldnt remove leaves unless they fall off easily. these girls will get some nice autumn colors into their leaves as they finish up flower, and i would say theres no reason to pull the leaf off unless its so brown and shriveled up that it pulls off with a very gentle tug.

Yeah man she smelled like a diesel strain with citrus but first smelled strong of SM-90 (smells like fruit loops). Oh yeah I topped this lady and then started a light lst. Most of my branches go a little ways out before up. I'm glad I did tha or else she wouldn't have fit into the grow space. She is about 36 inches tall fitting in a space that allots her 28 inches. So I know I could have LSTd her better but I stated late. A mistake I won't make on my two new little babies you can see in the pictures.
