Is this ready, week 10

nufc · Feb 23, 2012

hello, this is my first grow, the seed was a bagseed its a sativa and in 2 days it will be week 10 of flower. Iv been flushing for 1 week ive just been giving her cold water and molasses. Does she look ready to chop? The trichs look most milky and a few yellow ones, most of the hairs are orange/brown and receded. I was thinking of giving her a few more days then 2 days dark, does that sound okay?

Get a microscope, when the trics are milky/browny u wAnt tochop it, but 10 weeks should be more than enough

nufc · Feb 23, 2012

thanks...ive got a 60x microscope but its quite small and only works well when u have it flat on a table but i can see the odd amber one ive looked all over the plant

sir_diesel · Feb 23, 2012

Put it right into the bud, 1 iv got has a light and uv light on it, so it makes the trics shine

Nufc? U a newcastle fan? Lol

It looks like it revegged, and then flowered again. It probably won't get much more done at this point. Do you have light leaks?

If you think its ready wait a week

Hard to tell from the pics

Almost ready for sure

Plant looks weird but looks like some dank bud up in there

Best of luck :)

How is it that "dark days before harvest" has such legs.
Can't do much harm I suppose.
Must be in a FAQ someplace.

As for optical devices for detail viewing; I have just purchased for little money, some glasses. They have two illuminated loops attached.
I removed one loop (not sure what good two loops pointed at different targets is) and affixed a rubber band to hold it on my head, and it is the best way I have found to view flowers. The loop stays comfortably in position, and I steady my head relative to the target. Works better than any of six other candidates.

As to the big question, based on your testimony, I say harvest now.

no the room is 100% dark but it had 1 light leak on new years eve. i left a light on but that was the only time, what makes u think there was a light leak? how does it look like it re-vegged

If you look, your main apical stem has turned back into stem after the full bud and produced another stacking of buds. That probably shouldn't have happened and could have been caused by a variety of things. That looks like revegging OR some sativas are known to foxtail in the last leg of their life. Either way, she is as done as she will probably ever be. Chop er down, cure that lady and start anew!

nufc · Feb 24, 2012

Yeah i see what you mean, but it has basicly been like that from the start of flower. I think she streched abit because i had the light a bit higher, is it okay to harvest after only a week of flushing i will give her a big flush tomorrow with just water then in the dark and harvest monday thanks for the help

That growth pattern with the stacking and single leaf's is not uncommon with a sativa.

If she has stopped swelling and you are seeing some amber then you should be good to go.

Cheers
