How long until i harvest these?

Sound advice bro. Thanks...good info
See, that's what i was told also-wait until there are no more white hairs, with lots of gold trichs..so I had figured one last feeding last night, flush for one week, then pull.

i still wouldve went without feeding them tho... i like to feed my plants real heavy up until they are about 2-3 weeks out then i cut off all food. i try to get my plants to yellow up a lil bit at the end cuz if u got too much nitrogen the bud wont lighten up as much and will taste more leafy. also too much nitrogen will cause fluffier buds. even tho bloom ferts dont have much N they still have some so i dont like to feed anything. but u will be just fine in a week. also most plants wont all be done all at once. some strains mature bottom to top and some top to bottom. so part of the plant may be done but that doesnt mean the whole plant is done. this year most of mine seem to be maturing bottom to top so ill just wait til the tops are done and pull the whole thing at once. but when i grow strains that mature top to bottom ill chop the top when ready and then give the bottom nugs another week to fill in and finish up more. it really just takes time and experience to get a good feel for when a plant is done. i think everyone has pulled a plant early once before, its not the end of the world but it sure is a whole lot better when its fully ripe. and i think urs isnt quite 100% ready. this is the exact point in time where i tell myself its done and i would be ok with pullin it at this point, but i wait another week. i think u will be extremely happy with the results in a week. maybe pull off a little nug and do an experiement. see how it turns out compared to the rest of the plant that u let go for a week longer. u will be able to see if flushing has any affects on taste and whether or not that last week made much difference on quality.

if ur feeding chem ferts like cha ching and stuff i would def flush for a week. that plants looks done but imho i think it will be even better a week from now. i personally like to wait for all the hairs to turn orange i dont like seeing any white hairs. i wait til the hairs recede back into the bud and it is at least 50 percent golden trichs. but a lot of when to harvest is personal preference but i think most people prefer it with more golden trichs. if u grow organically with all types of manures and such in the ground i think flushing is pointless cuz there is no way to flush all the shit out of the ground. but when feeding with chems i would flush, but i also would never feed with chems so i dont ever worry about flushing. but ya like i said i still think that plant has 5-7 days anyways. its ripe but its barely ripe, and the window is about 7-10 days from once its ripe to when it starts to degrade. straight water for a week and pull and u should have some dank bud. but remember when to pull is only half the battle, drying and curing are just as important as to how your final product turns out. just remember for drying: cool, dark, and dry. keep the air moving with a fan blowin but not directly at the plants. keep the lights off, once a plant is pulled the light does the exact opposite of what it did while it was growing, it degrades the thc. and try to keep the humidity down so mold wont be a problem.
^ this exactly ^
 
Well, It's the night before harvest, and all through the house..lol.
Here are the two girls I'm going to harvest tomorrow. IMAG1430.jpg
The black plant is on the left, blackberry on the right. Enjoying their last sun set:)
A little while after I took this pic, I went back outside and noticed the black plant looked funny...then I spotted it..IMAG1434.jpg the branch was too heavy and broke! First time that's happened to me:)
So I had to do some early harvesting..IMAG1437.jpgIMAG1440.jpg IMAG1444.jpg
I'm pretty surprised at its weight..2.65 oz. Granted that's wet, untrimmed , but still, not bad for one branch:)...any idea what it'll weigh dry?
 
Well, just finished trimming all the black plant, and got 17.05 oz!!
-everything is dense as f*%k! ..from the colas to the small nugs..and smells unbelievable:)
Any idea how much it'll be once dried?
K, well break is over, back to harvesting the blackberry.
