Well, today is the 3rd day of week 8. Im growing seven shivas.
Im planning to go for the full 8 weeks, and a few more days, so, about 8 days from today.

The problem is that I cannot wait any longer than that, because I have a ticket booked, which if I wanted to change, I get charged up the ass. So basically, theres no way out but to chop em down in 8 days.
Most pistills are still white, on most of the plants.
I know they say, when it looks ready, wait a week, but I just cannot. Bad position to be in I know..
If all goes to plan, they would have been under 12/12 for 8 1/2 weeks. It says on the seed pack from 45-55 days flowering.

Is it possible to chop em down in 8 days and not risk chlorophyll taste, and not risk yield & thc decreases?

Given that I have 8 days left, do I flush asap??
I used Flora Nova Bloom (Chem fert) for the first 5 weeks, and Organic Bat guano & molasses for the last 3 weeks.

Any other comments?

Thank you fellow growers,
Nice day :)

Pics in a couple of hours, when lights turn on :clap:

I've heard that you'll get more of an 'up' buzz from plants that are harvested early. 1 week won't make much of a difference as i'm sure it'll still do the job.

Great, I hope so..

When do growers usually start counting flowering days. I know some don't even count, and just use their microscopes for peak harvest.
But usually, do you start after the 12/12 switch, or do you start counting after the plants have responded to the change in lighting?

Don't worry much about it. You'll get perfectly fine bud. It will be great and (assuming your plants look great), your yield obviously won't be as big as if you waited, but it's not THAT significant and if you don't have a choice you can't really get down on yourself about it. I've chopped at 7 weeks and the bud was great. I don't recommend it, but sometimes (such as your situatjion) it's out of your hands.

Lol what an answer man, honestly, that is exactly the response I was looking for. I thought its a helpless case lol.
Not only did you make me feel much better, but now I know I'm not the only one who had to chop down early.

Thank you very much..
