flowering time for nirvana northern lights?

[big bang]

I'm at day 54 of flower on my first grow. I've seen the charts with pictures of trichomes and i have the radioshack microscope - my trichomes are 95% cloudy and a couple are turning amber. i know a lot of people have grown this strain out, what day did your harvest? some places say it's done in 6 weeks, some say 10 weeks which is a pretty big difference. i'm going to keep watching my trichomes and harvest accordingly (probably within the next few days, i don't like couchlock-knock-you-out smoke but a good mix leaning toward the 'head' type high) but was wondering what you guys personal experiences were.

Hola big bang! I would say cut her now if your looking for a nice "up" type high. Enjoy!

My Nirvana NL X BB is eight weeks exactly - not totally the same as yours, but I would think it close...

Your right EM, I always wait a week after I "think" its time to cut. I have grown Nirvana's NLXHaze but only outside so I really don't know when to cut them indoors. I don't let any of my Indica go amber cause to my taste it seems to degrade not only the potency but the quality of the high/stone.

Hi how do your plants look for a pure indica? Mine all look like they have some sativa in there and i got two tripods

 

[big bang]

anyone else want to chime in on how long they flower for? i'm thinking of harvesting tonight.

If you want an Up buzz, cut em now. wait any longer your going to have more couch lock than head stone.

I gave mine 10 weeks instead of the norm 8 I hear... worked out like a champ and hardly any were amber! Amazing how slow they change from white to amber some times, and other times it seems like they change in a matter of hours!

Hey McDonald, I got the same thing with my pack of NL...all sativa phenos..pretty strange for an indica!! I finally found someone with the same prob....anyhow, BigBang, the last few NL girls i grew out went a little over 75 days!!! and they still weren't ready. I had 2 very stretchy, sativa-like phenos. light, airy buds with foxtails...They also went hermi on me and made seeds...Pretty good smoke though, def. not the best. I have 4 more goin right now, and I hope to get a good one...
