about how much longer do you think I have until I can start harvesting. If I remember correctly which I should have written downI started flowering around July 4thI have three plants and I'm only using 6 bulbs CFL bulbs 23 watt.I plan to get more for my next grow I also do not know what strains this is. 2 of my plants are almost done 1 plant is not near done yet.

What do the the trichomes look like? Cloudy to Amber color is usually when to harvest, but it varies on what kind of high you're going for. The pistils in the first pic look like they could use more time as well.

Damn been flowering since July 4th and still not close to be done on some plant? Some strains do take even 12 weeks to finish especially under CFLs. Invest in HID if you can, T5s if you can't or at least higher powered CFLs for better growth and better yield. However those colas look very good, the pictures lighting may not be good but especially the first plant totally doesn't look done.

They look like Sativa, so you can expect a minimum of 12 week bloom time, and some take longer. They appear to be on track in my opinion for completion on October 4, which would put them on schedule. Peace

Where do you live? Those would finish very nicely outdoors with some powerful fall sun

I live in indiana we hit 95deg. Today. So the light cycle wont mess anything up if I stick them outside. The lights have been on for about 10 hrs now can I still set them outside for another 7 hrs

The light cycle in Indiana would be a perfect way to finish them off...just set them outside and water when needed...then harvest when trichs are right...they'll do much better outdoors in sun than indoors under artificial light

So I can just leave it outside for remaning time or can I leave it outside just at light and bring it in darkness in its grow room at night.

I put 1 of the plants I have outside since its the 1 that is different then the other 2. It has the most and biggest colas then the other 2 but it seems to be behind on the budding part just has tons of off white hairs not seeing alot of crystals like the other 2 also. So ill see if the indiana sun will help it out or mabe even get bigger.

Finally harvested by 3 plants hanging in my closet with a fan @ about 68-70 deg. For a few days then ill put them in paper bag for a couple more days then jar cure them. I painted my jars black so they get no light. 20131009_042526.jpg20131009_040913.jpg20131009_162918.jpg
