Test grow Bud oppinions

[growbie1]

Hey folks, i’m new to this forum, and running my testgrow right now, after 6 years of abstinenz to the wonderfull hobby of growing. First i wanne appreciate the great work that people on this forum are doing!!!!! Have been looking around and participated in a few forums, but what ive read and seen here, outstanding! Have been reading my ass off thru the different manuals, grow-reps and so on for vthe last 2 weeks!!!


I'm test growing 4 Northern lights fem. from sendi seeds, under a 400w bulb.
Grow is running smooth so far exept for a little delayed repotting in veg (no mayor damage just a little delay) and a delay in fert. Change at the beginn of flower.

Plants are looking healthy i’m just concerned if the time scedule is right. Sensi claims that NL needs 45-50 days of flower im at day 29 and the buds the plants show are not looking to me as if they’re gonne be done in 3 weeks...
It'S important to me as i use the canna fert. Line and wanne add pk13/14 wich is only to be given 3 weeks before harvest for exactly 1 week.

Here some facts:
Light 400W bulb veg/flower from seedling
69days from planting the seeds/ 38d 18/6/ 29d 12/12
3.7 gal. Bukets of soil
Plants are about 28” around 14” in veg.
Humidity is at 35% day 40% night has been higher during veg
Temp is 26 at day 23-24 at night

definetly looks like it is going to take longer than 3 weeks, my general rule is once it looks ready and you want to chop wait 2 weeks...or my other method a 60-100x magnifier start checkin the trichs

 

[growbie1]

Magnif. glass is already ordered, and i know how to determin when they are done, but i lack the abbility to determin the 3 weeks till... how do they have to like like 3 weeks from chopping

 

[The Captain]

once you have your magnifier i would say once the trichs start turnin cloudy you are probably 3 weeks out

 

[growbie1]

noone else? or did the captain just nail it to the point?

i'd say you have to wait another 3 to 4 weeks before harvest. i don't have a magnif glass and my way to tell when they are ready is when the calyxes on the top of the bud are fully developed, most of the pistils turned brown/red, and on some of the plants tricomes are big enough to see their color without any magnifying glass.
