* Day 77 / Day 69 / Day 27 Update *

Ok guys, my girls got a trim For my first plant I took off a lot of big leaves that were blocking buds developing underneath. And for my second I went crazy lol. I stripped it so much that it doesn't even look like a plant; more like naked stems with some fluff on top. I did this because I wanted to experiment and see which method works best for yield. Hopefully the lower buds will start developing a lot quicker now. My third plant is coming along so well; thank you warm sunny days.

Emilya are you still watching btw; you haven't commented in a while, hope you're still around.

OK guys; I need some help. I'm not sure when I should harvest my first plant. I've read on different websites that Northern Lights typically live as long as 11 weeks max. Well mine is now 3 days past this. A few people say to harvest when the trichomes begin to turn amber; I don't have a microscope so this is pretty hard to tell. Someone else said that when the secondary leaves beginning to fall off that this is a sign of harvest. Mine are starting to crumble up and have begun to turn to an orange colour. I've got a close up of one of the buds; can anyone give me advice on whether or not to harvest now or leave it for a few days, thanks. My second plant is doing great; definitely my favorite! It's hairs are still mainly white so it still has a bit until harvest. My third plant got targeted by my chickens... I left it for two seconds to go eat, came back, and them fat birds were pecking away at it. They only tore a few leaves off; none of the nodes were damaged, thank God.

Also, I'd like to thank Emilya from helping me get my feet in the ground. She was the first person to ever help and give me advice; and I'll always be thankful for that. Everytime I harvest and smoke my plants I'll always roll one up for you Emilya, thanks!

I can say this.... Not yet Evil. They all have big white pistils still. Is that 11 weeks from flip or from the end of stretch?

It's an autoflower; they typicaly are havested 10-11 weeks after seed. Mines just over that right now.

My bag! I should have known that sorry... That's 77 days, my northern lights have gone as long as 120 days. I'd say 100 days is my average...

Being from a similar region I thought I'd check out your journal. Looking good! Given me faith in the great outdoors!

 

[Noob4x4grow]

I'd say you have a few more weeks Evil. Those pistils are still white. You can order a lope on the net for cheap or you can get a cheap magnifying glass to look at your trichomes. I would do that if I were you. Your plants are looking great. Don't worry about that 3rd plant. It will bounce back just like your other plants have.
