I started with 3 plants from bagseed and ended up with just one female. I'm growing in solo cups with perlite verm mix hempy style and cfls. I used just Bionicare base newts and vegged about a month and now I'm 41 days into 12/12. I wanted to get a small indoor grow under my belt before getting some clones or good seeds. The plant has stopped vertical growth and seems in good health except for some of the larger fan leaves turning yellow and falling off but I read that is normal. What do you experienced growers think about how close I am to harvest?

well you at about 6 weeks....so at the minimum you have 2 weeks

harvest when trichs are mostly cloudy/milky and a small amount are amber for peak potency

Thanks 2supra4u. So after they start to turn milky I should start to flush them with just water until I see some amber trichs.

Really when most of the fan leaves are gone and the plant has stopped growing white hairs it is done...for real...not when the hairs turn brown, but when it stops growing new white ones...that is what I look for before I even check the trichs...

What is it that you look at that indicates it's time to flush for the last 2 weeks, it seems like you could over or undershoot the right time to harvest without properly flushing the plant.

nothing really indicates that, you just flush with plain water for the last week or more and thats it
its something that you should do everytime before you harvest, its like a guideline kinda thing...

Ok cool thanks for the help. BTW I'm growing in a walk-in closet/ small office and the smell was very strong when I'd open the door. My wife started storing our aluminum cans in a few 20gl trash bags that are scented/odor absorbant and the MJ smell is completely gone. I highly recommend using them for odor control, I don't know the brand but I can ask the wife.
