is she ready?

Interesting. It's her 9th week (if i want to be precise her 63th day) and according to you guy she is not even near to harvest. Is it possible that i was the one who fckd up something? Because the description about the strain says 56-63 days flowering time. I'm not impatient, just curious.

Do you have a 30x microscope to look at your trichomes? Got my 60-100x from radio shack for $14.99 works great too. I'm cutting down at 10% amber. I gotta ask how did you get your colas nice and tall like that?

Unfortunately i don't have any microscopes around. Well it's my first grow, but all i can say, i kept her 60 centimetres away from a 600 Watts HPS, a fan always circulated the air inside the closet, and her feeding schedule was ph balanced water on every day right after the HPS turned on (or after a few hours not more than 4), and gave her water with nutrients on every third day. (a few times it happened that i gave her three times a week. )
 
She still has some time just from looking at it. Trust me I wanted to cut mine badly but I waited and let me just say my buds look so much bigger and swollen. Just wait 3 more weeks you will be happy you don't want to skip that Swell stage that happens the last two weeks.

A few weeks past, and i thought i give you a heads-up, what's going on with my lady. It looks like she stopped growing, the pistils not really wanting to recede but they're turning brownish, and the bud density is quite, well, not dense at all.

I'd say probably another week and a half to two weeks. Have you started flushing yet? This might be a good time to start. Molasses and water is what I like for a real long flush, the molasses wont make it burn harsh, but it'll feed the plant enough to drag out the flush. You can use plain water for your last few drenches before chop if the molasses makes you nervous.

Enough of the Trich questions lol OMG !!! First growers or not.... If you smoke the hippie lettuce than you can tell ... Keep in mind I dont know shit either. First time grower as well, today is my 46th flower day and all my trichs are clear.. I am growing 4 diff strains so when 4/7 plants get cloudy I chop.

My question is since I am getting close too I hear lots and lots about molasses and water for the last 10 days or so . Are you talking about pure mola ? or some hydro store synthetic ? Also I have been using mountain spring h20 since the beginning , should i continue to use that for my flush or is tap better ?

Looking really good. In my opinion, you need to go longer. This isnt the best way to tell, but judging by the pistils still being predominately white, she needs to go longer. Just because she is going longer than the recommended time, doesnt mean anything is wrong or you messed up. you just have a more predominately sativa phenotype. All seed types will have more than one type of phenos, some are done in 8 weeks, some in 10-11....just an example, times will range according to strain really. Let her go until shes ripe and the wait will pay off.
I've grown bubbleicious before, one went 8 weeks and the other was a week or two longer. Just keep flushing her and let her finish and your golden.

water with less chlorine is better. Generally tap water will work, but it is not the best. Use "Blackstrap Molasses" on your plants. I dont think you can use every type.
 
One more thing, just as a precaution psynapse, if you are worried that growth has stopped, just make sure there are no light leaks throwing things off. She is probably still growing and maybe just going to dense up a little and be done, but just make sure that you have no light leaks. I've had that stunt the flowering period before.

So you suggest to starve her in her last weeks? I know i should not give her the whole amount of nutrients, because the taste won't be the best. But only water?

Not quite "starve," rather deprive. All those beautiful green leaves have one job, store and distribute carbs. As long as those babies are green they are feeding that plant that last 6-7 weeks of stored carbs. Most of these are packed on between weeks and 3-5, which is really the only time most plants will need a heavy feeding. That's your standard commercial 8-9 week crops.

As those flowers yellow and drop, they give every last bit they have, and you can go ahead and pull them when they droop or look soft, rather than missing them and let them rot. But that is what process we have going on. An organic and gentle carbohydrate, like molasses, black strap of unsulfured, will not leave a taste even if you use it in heavy doses while flushing. It leaves delicious smoke. These carbs will give the plant everything it needs to swell in the last two weeks without suffering much loss in yield, while gaining an enhanced tasting and smelling harvest.

I do what I do well (:
 
Dude best way to tell get a magnify glass a good one and if a majority of the trichomes are cloudy you should harvest you want to harvest before they turn amber
