first time grow (how much longer) with pics

[longjohn]

hello all, this is my first time growing and i would like advice on when you think it could be ready to harvest. the seed for this plant was given to me by a friend and we don't know the variety. it is fed seasol once a week for the last 3 months. and always use rainwater. i have been using miracle grow maxfeed once a week for the last month. any advice much appreciated..

Hey longjohn,

Can't give advise, but .. Looks a ripper

Those pics don't show whether the plants are ready yet.

 

Need to either get macro shots or grab a jewellers loupe.

 

Considering it's outdoor and most folks have harvested already, it must be pretty well there no?

 

Goodluck and congrats.

G'day LJ. That thing has to be the ugliest, nastiest, most evil bloody thing I've ever seen. I'd probably be a bit dodgy about smoking it. If I were you I would send it to me and I'll take care of it and any other problems that arise, with written report, some time after. Mate, for your first grow you have done real well. As a long time outdoor grower I reckon, like Convex said, it can't be too far away from ready to harvest. You could go ahead pretty much when you want now, the season is just about finished. I think you are in for a very pleasant suprise, when you dry and cure that girl. Nothing tastes as good as fresh, well dried, well cured heads. You will never want to smoke anything else. Well done.

hahaha.. thanks for that aunty, i have to agree that it is ugly compared to the ones i have seen on this site.

thanks dani and convex for your kind words.

as my Sig say's i don't smoke weed, but am all for the legal personal growing. i have mates that smoke and it will be gifted to them.

i just wanted to grow because i wanted to see how i would go growing one of the nicest looking plants from seed to bag.

about 2 months ago i started snipping of all the big fan leaves, then about every 2 weeks after i go in with scissors and trim about 10-20 little leaves to thin it out a bit.

it does look fairly healthy except a few of the leaves are starting to get brown tips and a few leaves are going yellow.

anyhow thanks for your comments.

 

forgot to mention that i had a good look at the sticky bits with a 30x jewelers loop and they look to be still fairly

clear, definitely not any orange in there yet. but the stigmas are an orangey coulor.
