Timing the Flowering Cycle

[DarionOzb]

Hello everyone, I have a question about timing the flowering cycle.

You know how dog years is different then human years? Does the flowering cycle kind of work like that? Like, is 8 weeks for us, 8 weeks for the plant? ( hopefully that makes sense)

For more detail heres what im dealing with:

I started the flowering cycle Nov. 27th [3 days of darkness then flipped to 12/12 on dec 1st]

They showed signs of sexs on Dec 20th but thats just when I recorded it, i was still New to growing and Im sure there were earlier signs.
------

So now Its been technically been 10.5 weeks. I just did the flush Fev. 10th [i know that means im about 3.5 weeks late of flushing but thats because i had my timing off. I think. Hence this post...]
------

So yeah, thats what Im dealing with right now. I gave myself a 3 week window cause I was unsure of timing and aging with plants, but technically its been 10.5 weeks of flower, and Im wondering If i should start the drying process ' or not?

I can take pictures if needed! Waiting by phone for responses because Im free all day today.

Thanks for all the help!

So, many on here say flushing is unnecessary and starves the plant when you could be stacking up buds. This is the final flush that some say is unnecessary not the occasional flushes in between feedings. Something to consider. Anyways, to answer your question look at the trichomes. It is subjective to each grower when they are ready but a lot shoot for 10% amber and the rest cloudy. The more amber the more couch lock body the high is (in my opinion). Get a jelewrs loop and the plant will tell you when she is ready.

Look at the teichomes on the bus not the sugar leaves. And if the tops are done before the bottom of the plant you can harvest in stages if you are open to that

Thanks man!
I appreciate the information.
I have a jewelers loube but i have bad eye sight so im a little sceptical about what im seeing.

But with your info ill be able to know wht to look for.

So far they dont look too amber so imma let them continue doing their thing.
Thanks for the help i uploaded some photos anyways just to show the progress.

Make sure you’re using your loupe under regular lighting. It’s difficult enough to tell trichome color with regular light. It’s completely impossible under blurple led

Ohhhh!!!

I was wondering what he meant by stab in the dark because of blurple lights.

Thanks man

From what I can see though, she looks done to me.

Oh dang really?
So should i chop one of the branches and dry it out?

Or should i wait like a week, since the final flush only happened this past Monday? [Feb 10th]
