Possible Yield

[BluPitt]

So I’m thinking it’s almost time to harvest this beauty. She’s 73 days from sprouting, approximately 42 days into flower. According to seed bank info flowering time is approximately 55-65 days. I’ve attached a few pictures (with and without flash) she’s quite small in my opinion just curious as to what sort of yield I should expect after I harvest and cure.

its really hard to tell by pictures, looking at the plant right in front of you gives a lot
better idea but if i had to guess maybe a ounce and a half to two? what size pot is it in?

 

[BluPitt]

She’s in a 5 gallon pot, wanted to give them room to grow but she’s stunted a couple of weeks into grow and started to flower about 24 days from popping.

It looks like there is still a majority of white pistils. Everyone will have a different 'ideal', I am currently aiming for the pistils to be almost all brown, and the trichomes to be 70/30% cloudy/amber or perhaps 10/70/20% clear/cloudy/amber, I grew previously to somewhere close to those percentages and I felt the result was outstanding. Some people prefer to harvest earlier, and some advise holding on, I currently am waiting for the later.

This is her as of yesterday . I’m thinking of giving her another week and then chop chop

They're looking outstanding. Pistils developing well but probably still further to go I'd imagine.

View of trichomes

 

[Stunger]

I feel it can be tricky judging the stage of the trichomes with differences of light. In strong direct light I have seen a tint of amber in the trichomes and yet not spotted that in subdued light. I think your pic is a little out of focus on the trichomes, they appear cloudy, but when I have tried to call the same on pics that I have taken where the trichomes are out of focus they can look all cloudy in certain light but when seen in sharp focus they may be otherwise.

 

[BluPitt]

I try to lower the light in my tent just enough to get a good shot at the trichomes. I will be cutting a calyx to get a better view.

My guess is you are a good two weeks away. She looks great. It would be a shamed to pull the plug early.

Thanks for the advice. Any idea as to what’s happening in these other ladies, they’re all getting these major rust spots and it’s definitely got me worried

Maybe phosphorous deficiency? If you flush your plants, one might start for the last two weeks and let the plant live off what it has stored. In this case no treatment required.

 

[BluPitt]

I’m certain these have more than two weeks to go. Should I flush and feed?

Lots of leaves. What’s your humidity, temperature, and ventilation like?

Humidity is 55-60, temp 75-80, I have intake and exhaust setup. Pic is from when they were very small.

As they progress in flower I would watch out for powdery mildew. Maybe consider a fan blowing on the floor underneath the canopy. I had a similar set up and had that issue.

Flushing and resetting is a good idea, if you aren’t sure what’s going on. It’s not going to hurt them.

I have an oscillating fan on the bottom. I’m new to this but I definitely try to keep the air moving in there because of some of the posts I’ve seen about mold and mildew

Looks good. Very tidy.
