How Much Longer Until Harvest?

[rydin4life]

I'm just wondering about how much longer these two have to go. My last Harvest was disappointing and the buds were light and Airy so I want to make sure these have enough time to put on weight and get some density to them.

they are in 3 gallon smart pots with Happy Frog soil, botanicare bloom nutes, and each under a Mars hydro 300 on 18/6. One is a royal queen diesel auto and the other is either the same or a nl auto..

Pics are not close enough to see trichome colour. Do you have a magnifier?

Wow R4L those look sweet, especially for under 1 mars hydro 300 (what I use for veg tent).

I just keep checking the white hairs and as soon as a couple start to turn color and shrink up, I break out the cheap 60x - 100x magnifier and start paying attention to the trich colors. I think there is a tutorial on here. If they are still clear, no go. I look for mostly cloudy/milky color with a few amber. More head high, if you let the trichs get mostly amber, then you are looking at sleep medicine for me..haha.

Only way to truly tell is getting up close and personal with those Trichs..

Good Luck and great looking grow..

Those are actually good yields under the 1 light

Tricomes are about 90% cloudy, 5% clear and 5% amber..

My first grow was 3.5oz from 2 plants. Second grow was 2.5oz from 3 plants...all were light and airy..thought maybe I just didn't just east long enough for them to fatten up.

If they are autos - turn the lights up to 24/7

[rydin4life]

I thought about upping the light's to 20/4 or even 24/0..may still do that.

with the tricomes at the ratios I mentioned, what do you guys think..like another week?

[BlueBudz]

Yes, 24/0 is what Canuck meant I believe.
