Well, here she is...day 59, my first ever grow, nearing my first ever harvest. She never grew really tall (only 13") but the buds filled out nicely (more than I expected for my first grow).

I know I still have alot to learn, I've already learned alot these past few months with help from several people here at AFN, words cannot express my gratitude, thank you so very much!!!

I was considering putting her into darkness on Monday morning...maybe next weekend...I've really gone back and forth about this. Unfortunately for me, apart from having poor vision, I am colorblind on top of it...so buying the microscope was of no use to me. Instead I am opting with Muddy's guide (when to harvest autos? your leaves will tell you). Great information, however the only reason I am still concerned about when to harvest is the line he wrote that stated "By the time that all the fan leaves had died off and the bud leaves were starting to yellow, I got the quality of smoke I wanted"...problem is my bud leaves are already yellowing, and the fan leaves haven't all died off yet.

Anyways, here she is, tell me what you think!...btw I know many are against this, but as you can see, as the leaf tips have been dying off, I've been trimming them back, I figure why block light with leaves whose best days are well behind them.

Hi,

I know you said you don't see well, so let me just say that those buds look lovely. The third picture is great.
Don't know about harvesting though. Hopefully someone will be able to get a good read on it from the pictures.

Great job.
 
Hey Dante,

Seconded, those buds look great! :kusht: I am certainly no expert but I think you could let those go for another 7-10 days, still looks like there is some life left in those leaves.

What kinda nutes did you use? When was your last feed?
 
Thank you very much guys!!! in the early stages I was really having my doubts....and I know I made many mistakes on the way..so I am very pleased, hope the smoke is nice.

I used FF trio...last feed was on the 17th, last watering was on the 24th with just ph'ed water....the watering before that I added molasses. I was thinking another 7 days also...I just worry about overshooting my window...it would be a shame to get this far and blow it lol
 
I know the anticipation must be killer! I am at least 3-5 weeks behind you. Jealous, maybe! Those buds look great. I am another inexperienced grower so don't have a definitive answer for you but there will be someone along that will answer. I can say that you have done a great job and am sure you will be very happy!
Some :karma Cloud: and a big ol' :slap: for a job well done!!
 
I'd say two weeks more strait water and your done...:smokebuds:

I had a feeling, and I imagine I was being optimistic in saying another 7 days. I was just looking at my calendar...and i'm realizing that if I want to accomplish my ultimate goal of harvesting a single plant every month, that I will need to have a 3 plant rotation going, and not 2 plants like I went into this project thinking....started germing my 3rd seed right after I read 2 weeks lol....I will be so glad to get away from dealers with half-assed weed...you can certainly tell the difference in weed that someone put the right love and care into!
 
btw...this may sound odd...and I don't know if there is anything to it.....but I play music in the growbox for my plants lol....just a weirdo from another planet I guess "toke toking"
 
Nice lady you have Dante! Looks like it has a little more life left to go. And getting away from dealers.....you know how much time, effort, and care went into your girl. Beats a dealer any day.
