Yeah man let it go... Tell your buddy to buzz off and his stuff was junk last time... The bud does THE MOST fattening up in the last couple weeks. You'd be losing out on half your harvest weight by harvesting a week or two early. Plus? who wants bud that doesn't get you high? Wait it out, tell your friend the same. I think a couple thousand experienced growers on here know more than he does. Good luck man

this thread is some funny shit...

you got all kinds of wives tales...... hairs turning brown.. fan leaves turning brown... lol... i can do both of those on a 2 week plant if you give it too much nutes .... give it a fucked up ph and see what happens....lol..

The only ones that are right are the guys talking about the trichs... Honestly speaking you should be able to tell if the trichs are amber in good lighting. WHen your bud is done it kinda has a golden hue to it... cause of all the brownish trichs... if you get close enough you should be able to see if the trichs are turning amber or not.... in any case... those pictures that you are posting donot prove anything except the composition of that plant sucks in my opinion.... i would think you would have wanted tight internodes to have buds growing all the way up the stems... but it seems like its very branchy or stretched out between those nodes.

In any case i do agree with the peeep that talk about trichs...

I hate to break it to ya but if this guy is already on your ass about the plant trying to go in there with scissors... and saying a 1/3 is his....? bad bad... AND hes your girls bro or somethin? Soo many things can go wrong with that picture....

I say break it off with the girlfriend... move away from them and dont tell anyone your growing... your gonna end up with your shit stolen or in jail...

good luck!

a yield of substantially less, and and unripened, unfinished product.....you ever wanted a fresh tomato so bad that you pulled a small green one off and threw it in a salad??? same concept, you made it this long through the plants life, if its inside and youre around it daily at the very worst youll be a few days late and there will be less thc and more cbd's....which will just park your @$$ on the couch as opposed to launching you through the stratosphere..soooo...WAIT

No problems man!... But please.. its Gen FranCo ...with a "c"... LOL

Shit your life sounds like mine at that age... except the roomate thing... gotta get your own thing going with you and yours now bro... LOL

Please dont misunderstand me, I was just trying to help .... :leaf:

PS... thats looking A+ for a 200 watter... try placing it closer to the plants next time...

A real good way to know how close you can have your bulb/hood to your plants is by putting your hand under the hood/light about 24 inches down...(palm down).. then slowly start raising your hand towards the light... when you feel a little itch with the heat you know its close enough... basically right before the irritating feel... then just hang a string with a paper clip on the end as a marker and that will always give you a nice guide to go by... bongsmilie

as far as your mate.... well, just tell him he can cut his 1/3 right now if he wants and then your on your own... But make sure you tell him the sharing is over. My bro in law kinda thought he could do what he wanted around my house cause his sis lived there... i know what you feel bro... you gotta stand up to him and his sis if needed sometime... he will respect you more in the end... and she will love you more in the end for standing up for yourself..

There ya go man... life lessons...

happy growin!

:weed:

the buds are still small and have nothing but white hairs. Id say 3-4 weeks, but check with a microscope as mentioned above

a good rule of thumb is when about 80% of the hairs utrn color (die) the buds should be ready. but if u plan on growing and harvesting at peak ripeness (to ur taste) then get a lighted mic a radio shack it's like $15.

if u ain't got the money stop smokin for a couple days and save up.

ONE MORE RULE OF THUMB

never accept anyones plants or shit unless a specific amount is agrreed upon.

and only grow for someones as a caretaker or sum cuz lines can easily get crossed
one time a "friend" gave me a plant to grow i reluctantly did. after harvest i gave him 3oz and keept 4.
he got pissed off for sum reason and felt it should be 50 50. i said why i did all the work.

anyways the diff between 1/2 oz ended that. i used to get Guatamal buds from him that comes in a can. good mids.

lesson learned grown for ur self and don't let now one know.
PEACE

Just depends on the strain check to see if 70% of the hairs have changed coulour if so then yes flush for a week though.I will always grow a 8 week strain for 9 week.If the plant has been growing for less then 8 week let it go full term you will be supprised on the extra crstal production a week makes.A tip for the next grow too have the lights closer this will increase yeild by 70% plant looks a little leggy.
 
yh i know he's a fool he's last grow he chopped it early, didnt dry it right and tried selling it. it as utter rubbish and just coz he been stoned for 3 days straight he thinks he come in get a pair of scissors and chop it down thats why i asked you guys. he still been saying all day that you guys are rong but ive been on this site long enough to know that you guys know what you are talking about. i grew this plant nearly 4 month and for some idiot to come and put a pair of scissors to my plant (for real) try chopping down it made me want to hit him. (the fact that he has 2 dogs with him all the time and hard mates makes me want to say no) he also thinks he owns 1/3 of my plants just coz he found them :( really annoys me. (sorry to rite all this up just wanted to express myself and say thanks to you guys)
rofl
he sounds like a crackhead that wants to chop the plant and sell it for crack lol.. and owning 1/3 of ur plants just cuz he found them? wtf? You REALLY need to cut that dude loose.

found them?.. I thought it said that he gave them to you...

SO you mean just because he found out that your growing?

thats bullshit... you need to beat him down.

you know what you do is you make it look like somebody he would know broke in your house and took your shit a few days before harvest ... even stole a ring you had picked out for your girlfriend.... "That Fucker... see because he went around and opened his mouth we got robbed hun..." Shell want to kill him herself.
