well given my situation i think wut im gonna do is take the 2 in the middle first since there smaller and not as robust as the big ones so those will go for a good 9 weeks possibly 10.

id take them further and flush when you see more bud devenition and the hairs should fade by that time, unless your aiming at a particular effect your pulling them a few weeks too early. id expect a heavier and more potent crop if left to feed till the first growth spurt has passed and theirs a second wave of hresh white hairs comeing out of the faded rad ones -theirs a dif effect you can get you probly know from pulling at clear to blikly and milky then milky to amber. i rarly look at trichombs anymore or hairs or days on the clander, i look for defenition and wait till the nugs stop growing. you have to think of the ammount of new growth compared to the ratio of the old and the diferans in their thc levels- a bud with amber trichs and red hairs will have some clear trichs aslong as theirs some new growth that hasent faded yet. they could all fade and nothing more would happen -wich is the worst that could happen, then best is more potent biger buds and that means heavier yealds when things are all trimed and dry -the nugs should cluster some, i let the foxtails growth thick and fat befor cutting.

well ive already started to flush them but like i said im cuttin the 2 runts in the middle this friday but thats gonna be more of an evalution test than anything and it'll give the bigger ones some extra room and those will be able to go for the extra couple weeks. i know what u mean about the maturation tho, im hopin the bigger ones are nice n ripe by 9 weeks, which is like 2 1/2 weeks away. so we'll see, good lookin out 8)

you started to flush 2 days ago, thoes buds may have a nother growht spurt you would never see if you take them soo early -the small whit hairs are potenchally a huge cluster in the makeing ~let that cluster form and then start your flush, or try next time ive got more of thoes seeds 'tbb' probly will give alot away. i had pulled at dif stages and thought about the outdoor season buds maturing from august to october or even november soo two months is really the minimum, id say its more like 8 weeks from when the nods thincken into tuffs not soo much when 12/12 is initiated -seedbanks like to make quotas but i think its comercally motivated, vegitable seeds have maturation dates but the quality of your stuff is really up to you. the worst that could happen is you get some nice stuff but maby under-developed and could have been more potent and biger/heavier buds. -as the mautre fruit set continues and they grow into fox tails i let thoes thicken up and then harvest but i have to spray for powdery mildue soo often times i flush for like 3 weeks anyways.

the best thing that could happen is you improove on your last harvest, i think thoes quotas the seed breeders use are comercal minded like how vegitable seeds have maturation dates. id imagen 8-9 weeks from bud set not from 12/12 initiation is more realistic, 9 weeks is only 63 days. thats a bit long i guess but your only giveing your crop 42 feeding days and i remember reading about a comercal grower that said he gave atleast 50 feeding days then harvested. i just think the numbers arent neer as important as paying attenchin to the growth, stop feeding and flush when you feel its time to harvest is the best way to go i think -giveing them the 2 extra weeks isnt bad at all unless their sickly to begin with, your plants look healthy.

i dont count from 12/12 i count flowering once the plants start forming pistils. people have different opinions on when to flush tho, some say to start when the first hairs start turning amber and thats wut i did here. but like i said this will be an evaluation kinda thing and ill try somethin new if im not pleased with the results i git from these. but right now these buds r pretty fat, much bigger than my last grow so i probly wont be too highly dissapointed. i think the bigger ones will be ready to roll by 9 weeks tho there lookin better every day

well there lookin like there right on schedule, should be about another week for some and maybe an extra week for a couple others. i cut smallest on in middle(had to) cuz there was no room and it was gittin smothered by the bigger ones so i took the one u couldnt really see. other small runt in the middle is ready to go but im gonna wait til the first one i cut dries before i take that one down. then that leaves the 4 biggest ones to go for about 8 weeks maybe longer. i know i wanna take the one with the dead leaves down first, probly at 8 weeks and leave the healthy ones to give that last burst of growth. i dont wanna leave em up for too much longer my house is startin to reeeeek all the way downstairs its gittin kinda bad.. u cant really smell in my room but u sure can git a good wiff downstairs and even in the basement lol. but yea thats about it, heres the pics as always 8)
