First Time EVER grow: Purple, Hindu & Richie

Hello Folks,
I'm in week 6 of flowering. Everything look ok? Any suggestions? Should I start flushing for harvest?

Wow. I guess it's hard to get some feedback. I'm really in need of expertise. Any help, encouragement, direction will be GREATLY appreciated.

thx

im outdoor but ill lend a hand. .... i know how hard it can be to share your grow..(lol) what you want to do is get a 30X illuminated mag (it does not have to be but it would help) and look at the tricomes they will tell you when they are ready...... you want soft amber color then harvest try not to let them get to the really dark amber....... just before they turn dark amber

Hahahaha. I have to admit...I'm a little hurt that my grow is not happily shared. lol. So, thanks for the hand. hmmmmm, light amber eh? Then by the looks of my ladies, I should start flushing and getting ready for harvest? but then again, just the visual, as you're suggesting is not enough. So, I should get the magnifier and be certain right? I'm hoping the plants look good to experienced growers. I know I should not expect much from a 1st grow, but I have put some time into this...you know what I mean?

Looks pretty good man, I dont see any problems at all. I would say they are getting close just by eyeballing them, however the boogie man up there was right about a budscope or magnifying glass. If you have not started flushing yet I definately would now

Are you using mollasses? looks like you got a couple of weeks left if you mix a bit of mollasses can fatten up those buds a bit. You cab find mollasses at your grocery store in the sugar section. Just mix a tbl spoon to a gallon of water.


Looking good especially for a first grow.

Thanks TJD! Yes, I bought the 30X pocket microscope and started flushing. Funny thing is, I got all "pre-post partum" looking at my garden. lol. But what a great experience looking at the trichomes through the magnifier! Most of them are cloudy with some amber...so definitely maturing right?

I guess I'll make that inaugural cut next week. It's hard to believe that 2 months ago I brought home some lazy looking clone and now I can't imagine a life without coming home to check on the ladies. I know you guyz/galz know what I'm talking about!

Here's some more pics...

Thanks EB. Actually I'm using sweetner b/c I tried the mollasses technique and unfortunately, the soil started to ferment. Rather, what I use is mixed with a post fermintation and it's been great! So, I've been using Shooter and the ladies have been fattening up. However, since I'm flushing now I don't know if they're going to get any thicker.
