Ok thanks . Lol , so I didn't flip them too soon ? You wouldn't happen to know how long it should take to flower would you?Looks like ur gonna end up w short plants....

Thanks , yea I hear ya on not shining a light in the floor but I have grown several at once in the past and didn't want tonhave to keep up with it all this time is why I only did two. I now wish I had done some autoflowerAs far flipping too soon goes...u wanna fill up ur space by whatever means necessary....whether it be w a few big plants or more smaller ones......no sense in illuminating the floor haha
No idea on flower time....when im working w a new strain i usually figure on 10wks....if its done sooner then all the better but imo 10wks is about avg

Because I have a few good strains in auto and I don't think I'll harvest a lot with these small AI . I have them on 12/12 so I can't start an auto until I can dedicate my lights to them .Autos? Why?
Thanks and thanks for the advise.I ran these for a year, very good smoke, they do take a long time to flower out, just like all Indica's do, just keep an eye on them when they finish, because the like to herm. They don't grow grow big.

iv'e done some 22 week sativas
The next question I have is usually how long does it take until the tricombs turn amber color? Do they always turn an amber color when they are ready to harvest or can they be cloudy and ready? Is it crucial to wait until this point or can they be harvested before the crystals turn? ThanksA few months back I was on here asking about the size of my AI’s well here is a recent photo taken yesterday and then the close ups aren’t from an hour ago .

It varies with different strains with indicas turning sooner and sativas turning later but AI is a heavy indica.
Your plants also look amazingly like mine in structure in places but mine are also an odd cross.
Really it comes down to preference. You want it a little more stoney and sleep inducing then wait a little longer and harvest after there are anywhere from 30-50% ambers. Most people don't like going past that.
You want it a little more energetic and cerebral then harvest when ambers are only in the 5-15% range and the rest are all cloudy.
In the end an indica will tend to be stonier and a sativa will tend to be more cerebral but people seem to like to harvest indicas a little sooner to keep their natural stoniness from being too much and harvest sativas later to keep their head effects from being too unbalanced and rushed.
With that AI I would suspect you should be getting ready to see perfectly ripe trich conditions somewhere in the 8-9 week range of flowering.
Harvesting before the trichs even start turning cloudy will result in subpar smoke that will have much lower THC and terpene content as well as tend to be a rushy/panicky high compared to the finished product.
Personally I'd wait until I saw around 10-15% amber and the rest 95%+ cloudy before harvesting that strain but that's just me.
One last note...Trichs can turn cloudy but the plant have a little ways to go yet and potency to gain. Trichs actually go through many phases as they grow but at the end they turn cloudy before swelling up at the top like a little mushroom. During that swell they increase greatly in potency and terpenes.
So as a rule of thumb you should always wait for some amber to appear to let you know that the cloudy trichs are actually mature. Unless you want to read up on and keep track of trichs very closely with a pretty decent magnification. Not really required. Just aim for 5-15% ambers with an indica and you can't tend to go wrong.
My leaves are starting to look like they have nutrient burn but I think it’s normal for the leaves to start to look like they are dying off in the end correct?Honestly the biggest indication of doneness is the fade of the leaves. Drop the temps and move to just molasses and water. The leaves will fade out real pretty and fall like. The trichs can only be assessed properly under natural light. I got some pck that looked done at 6 weeks but I'm pushing it. My leaves are starting to fade and she's getting crazy swollen and super hard nuggets. It won't die overnight and the trichs won't all turn abmber overnight either. Let it ride out 9 weeks if you can.
