Whatsup guys, first grow here. This is a bagseed that I've had flowering for almost 9 weeks. I'm planning on harvesting this friday or sooner if she's ready. she's starting to foxtail a little. Anyways here she is, friday will be 9 weeks from when she showed me she was a lady not since the flip. Had a little nute burn, so I started flushing her last week. I've already flushed her twice with 15 gallons. Tell me what you think!

I would highly recommend some type of microscope device to truly know when the optimum time for you to pull is, especially since you're working with an unknown bag variety. You can go with something as cheap as a 30x Jewelers loupe, but I prefer a slightly higher magnification. 60-100x is my preference. We look for cloudy heads with a few ambers. Once you have about 10-20% amber and the rest are cloudy is our preferred way to determine the readiness.

Can I ask what size your light is? I to have a bagseed under a six and am trying to guess what the smallest amount ill get is. Only one under there right now and I know its impossible to tell just curious as worst case scenario

I've got her under a 250 watt hps. After harvest when I procure some more money I'll be trying to get a 400 or 600. But she's lived her whole life under that 250. I'm hoping to get around 2 ounces. Maybe 1.5.

I like to check the trichs with a scope.. you could take a look and get an idea of how close/far out you are from cutting it down..

You know how that all works, right?

30-100x scope with a light... most folks like it when most trichs are cloudy, not clear, not amber.

It's all preference.. I like to check with the scope because all of the other signs like color, pistil appearance, etc.. they don't really line up consistently with the trichs.

Yeah! I've done a shit ton of research, I plan on getting a scope in the next few days. Moneys just tight lol was just wanting a second opinion on how much approximate time I have left, a week etc. I can't find a scope anywhere any suggestions on stores? I have no debit card and I'd preffure to buy it with cash lol
