How much longer do u guys think

killroy · Mar 13, 2009

Just wondering what the opinions are on how much longer these buds need before I cut them down.
They all have been budding at 12/12 for approx 3 weeks and the one I am holding is about 1 month older than the rest. ( Still budded at the same time )

I cut a bud off just to sample, the one on the table.

One question , I noticed the buds have no seed pods yet, just white hairs.... when can I expect the seed pods to grow. (Males were removed very early.)

Unknown bag seed, 3 diff unknown types under 430w HPS and 8 100 watt equiv CFL's.

Another 3-6 weeks maybe ?

gday! looks great! don't cut anymore off tho, its a tad wasteful.. defintely several more weeks to go - be patient and let it keep going - it will be worth it in a big way

Unless your males spred pollen you will have no seeds. You have 3 or 4 weeks more I am sure.

like 80% of those white hairs turn red or burnt looking beffore harvest. also get u a 30x microscope from radio shack and check the trichomes on the bud. they should get milky looking and then turn to an amber color. when like 20-50% are amber, harvest. that is if 10 days ago u flushed with final phase or something and its already cleaned out..............

I always thought that if no males were present ... the seed pods would still form ... just no seeds would be inside.

Can someone clarify this ?

Also one more question , does the pot size I am holding (8 inch) seem adequate for the plant size I currently have ?

Needs to be 3 gallon pot full of soil. And no seeds or seed pods is what u should get. Straight buds

i kinda feel dumber after reading this whole thread

about 8-9wks is the usual, so if theyre at 3wks now then wait another 5wks and check the trichomes.

seedless seedpods is what you want, they are the bud, couple weeks and you should notice them swelling.

theyre lookin good so far :weed:

Considering that the plant I am holding is almost 4 weeks into budding, is it normal for some of the lower leafs to turn yellow ?

I have read that this is normal for the bud's to cause the leaves to yellow as the buds mature, but how can I be sure its not a fertilizer problem instead ?

Also- the tips- last 1/8th inch of the said yellowing leaves are curled up and brown/dead.

The yellowing seems to be more prominent on the lower center leaves coming off the stalk.

I am pretty confident I haven't over fertilized.

Should I be alarmed ?

No man u are fine. In fact you'll see more leaves yellow and fall off especially near the bottom.
