You need to be more specific, when did you start flowering them?

46 days ago. My 1st grow indoors in 5 gal dirt pot

You need to get them to swell a bit,put on some girth or they will dwindle when they dry, I grew this strain over 20 years ago and the dry buds were like golf balls you could bounce them off hard surfaces.

 

[CNDGrow420]

Yea I would say another 4-5 weeks and it depends on the crystal development, but 5 weeks and you should be good maybe sooner because those seem to be going well

Thank you much. One person told me when the leaves start turning yellow give them bout 10 to 15 more days. I should have my jewellers loop in a few days.

IMO That's WAY to general a statement! So many variables..Stick with the trichomes and maybe watch the pistils too for accuracy!

I agree I'm only afraid to let these 2 girls go to far. I like some stone in my smoke but not to much. Just a little on edge.

From what little I can see..there is no danger at this time of going too long. The harvest window will stay open about 7 days as well, so relax!

When you get your loupe, try not to zero in on the sugars since they ripen faster than the buds..Also a staged chop can be very advantageous. Watch the general overall condition of the plant as well..there are many tell tale signs depending on strain.

Thank you. That's what I needed. The pic I sent was the other lady. Their are 2 of them. They popped at the same time but look much different from each other. I figure one took after mom and the other from pop. You folks are a great asset to my growing and learning. I've grown for 50 yrs outside but mi eyes are going bad so I had to bringem in and learn that way. Outside was easy. I plant 1st of May and harvest 1 day after the 1st frost.

They are in peak flowering. Check trichomes after most of the white pistils die back and the flowers are finished growing.

Thank you much. I will do that

 

[Dirtbag]

looks like they've got 3 or 4 weeks left. Keep feeding them for another couple weeks at least, otherwise they'll be a bit hungry as they swell. Looks nice man!

You're in good company..they're lots of us old foggies here....LMAO
My eyes suck too and I used to "grow" outdoors as well; but in those days we didn't know about cultivation..we just chucked and ran. Very different today and you will be a happy camper when you dial in.

The person that told you that is wrong.

I agree. I'm learning but I'm slow. I tried hydro but I didn't like all the mess. 5 gal pots with cowshit and coco with Fox farm trio is my first grow but I'm always open to new ideas. Thanks much

We all pitch in here and try to help each other.
I hope your pots are the cloth pots or air pots..They grow much better plants and are almost impossible to overwater in.

My grows are mostly FF Strawberry Fields/Happy Frog for indoors, but promix HP for outdoors. (no gnats with promix)
I am in Nevada's high desert country..I grow a few outdoors mostly for fresh frozen hash and rosin..I still enjoy flower..matter of fact..it's all good..LOL

My pots are hard plastic but have extra 8 Holden drilled in them. The bottom sits on expanded metal and a catch pot under them. I check my wetness 2 times a day. After a grow or 2 I will probably get better grow pots. I have to just a good amount of citric acid because my Well water has a ph of 7.5 I have a good gnat control.
