How much longer till these are done?

I'm keeping this updated for you guys. Does the Verdict still stand? 4 more weeks at least?

I don't know, that's way ahead of what mine look like. Of course, I won't see a frost till October. Whatever the case, she looks lovely. Did you look at the trichs? Are any of them even cloudy yet?

Just keep an eye on the trichs they'll let you know when it's time to harvest.
by the way the plants look great.

I do not know what the " trichs" are. Sorry, english is not my first language. Perhaps you can explain. I always thought i have to check the hairs and make sure that about 70-80% of them are brown....

Harvesting Info.. .. there you go crash'..
... You're days are steadily getting longer, but they are far enough into flowering, "hopefully" it won't become n issue.

Trichs means Trichomes. That's the frosty looking stuff on the flowers and the small leaves growing directly out of the flowers. They are little containers of the good resin containing THC that gets you high. Look at them through a strong magnifying glass or a pocket microscope ($10 at Radio Shack). They are clear and glassy looking at first and as they mature they turn hazy and eventually amber colored. Once a good percentage of them have turned amber, it's time to harvest. Early harvest with more clear trichomes will just be less potent, but still a good party high that doesn't put you to sleep. Late harvest when they are all amber will give you a heavy couch sitting movie watching high. Or as they call it around here... couch lock.

Yours are going to be okay, those are beautiful plants. Even if you pull them early, you'll still get good smoke, just not near as much.

Well, i'm going to have to do without the pocket microscope. Where i'm from there are no such things and if there are, they won't be 10$, but 100$ at least. I'll get a magnifying glass. But is there no other way to tell when harvest time is near, except looking at the Trichomes?

Thanks guys!
