They look more than ready to me. Do your flush, if that is what you do. Personally, I don't flush at the end, because I stop nutes about half-way through the flowering process, and the nutes have been washed away by clear watering for several weeks.

I would also take your plants to the shower and give them a nice room-temperature shower to dislodge all the detritus and foliar sprays you may have used. You can be quite vigorous, and get under the leaves. I use a plastic grocery bag to protect the soil. The shower will NOT wash away your trics. After the shower, your trics will shine like Xmas lights.

Then I would snip one bud, dry it, and give it a test smoke. it might taste a bit harsh because it isn't cured, but you're testing for the high.

Hmmm... IMO, they don't look quite finished. But that is going off of a picture without having any knowledge of how the grow went, how long they've flowered for, or what color the trichomes are. They do look like they are foxtailing, so they are probably closer than I am thinking, but a $10 jewelers loupe would confirm that with trichome color

Start your week of flush now. Going by pics its close but not complete. Let more hairs change to the orange. But dont let them go as far as looking dead and black. All the best but id say 7 more sleeps

You SHOULD be proud! Good work!

If you can't check the condition of the trics, just gently squeeze the buds. If they are firm, and with most of the pistils brown, I'd take those buds. If you haven't done so already, give them one last flush of plain water to wash away any after-taste, and for SURE spray your buds after harvesting. (I use a kitchen colander) Makes for a good-smooth smoke, free of chemicals, dirt, and detritus.

Great work mate. Id light like to know what weight you pulled. Smoke quality and drying technique.

what was the average temp of your grow area? they look a little foxtailed. foxtailing happens with heat. but theyre nicely frosted too and u must always check trichs under magnification for an accurate determination of readiness. pocket microscope is like 8 bucks on ebay. just a few suggestions for the future. but absolutely great job

I agree..you need to check the trics..they should look a little like this..I grew 1 plant with 300 watts of cfl and harvested 170 grams dried

 

[lindabjork880]

Sorry for the late reply guys but i used 250 watts CFL it was unknown strain from seed and i put it down in january and harvested in june after 9 weeks in flowering... well i kinda smoked it all before curing cause i only got about 50 grams out of it and the smoke wasnt that strong as i hoped for more lije medical easy hmmm. I fed it floraniva grow then floranova bloom plus addedd blossom builder, i think it was probably not ready yet and the heat in ny tent must have been too warm showed 29 celcius most of the tine but didnt realuce my tent lays next to an water heated oven ugh but for being a mom with full house if kids and having my secret tent in the basement and for a first try... im kinda proud though dissapointed but already on my next one. White widow feminised and goung to do better this time
