How much longer should I wait until harvest? Rough idea

[mattyb420]

So I don't have a jewellers magnifier(hoping to pick one up in the next day or two, it is on order) any insight on how close to ready my plant is? It is Himalayan Blue Diesel seeds. Buds are starting to turn a nice orange on the pistils, and trichomes are forming very nicely as you can see in some pictures. Any insight into harvest time would be great!

That plant has a long way to go. You should put her in a much bigger pot too

4-6 more weeks?

edit -- I just looked up that strain... it is an auto that suggests "Harvest : 8-10 weeks from seed" So how long have they been going?

looks a long way off to me too but dont much experience with auto seeds. looks like you dont have enough light!!

Well first off WELCOME TO Yah mate agree with what has been said but I understand we all can't get it perfect everytime, they look airy and the calyxes haven't began to swell so you got along ways to go. Also next time use a bigger pot that root zone is really holding your potential back. You may also examine some of the threads about common plant problems on here they are alot of help for a new grower and its important to know. I feel like you could correct a cpl issues and really improve your Harvest. I don't think it's too late. I'm not trying to put you down it looks like you've done a good job but there's a couple little issues you could easily correct. Keep up the great work and good luck!

If I were to pick up a bigger pit and depot tonight think that would be beneficial? That is something I can do.

Its normally not recommended to transplant during flowering and I have heard that autos in particular are sensitive to it but I don't grow them so I don't know for sure.. If I were gonna do it anyways I would say do it in a manner that would cause very little or no stress, maybe look around a little for a journal of an auto flower grow that has alot of posts and replies, introduce yourself new to here etc tell em what your trying to do and see what the replies are. Last thing I ever want to do is tell you something that would hurt or hinder your grow. There is a world of info here at 420 and you'll find alot of people wanting to help you out and see you succeed. Good luck'

if you can pull it out the pot like you showed i cant see any stress would happend.what kinda light do you have on it

Several weeks yet at best, even tho mildly root balled will not hurt her a great deal a larger pot may help & best done a couple of weeks before flowering starts aka 12/12

I would repot, just use the same medium you are using now, don't get all fancy with something it is not used to. When you do I would not treat it rough like you would on a early transplant (meaning don't loosen the roots) and just repot.

Oh and don't yank it out of the pot for pics anymore , next root pic after harvest

Some more pictures from earlier tonight. Picked up a bigger pot today, going to give the soil another day to dry a bit more then repot with some more soil see if it'll help any. Also as I said took of the tieback to focus on my best buds. Hope you all enjoy what I got going!

 

[Buckshot]

[CronicHempHog]
