It’s looking great.But it’s not ready yet.l have a Mexican Airlines auto it looked like that at least 2 weeks ago.There different strains but go back and read the ILGM guide again On Harvest.
Good luck

Thanks @Lovthegro - the seed producer had optimistically claimed 8 week from seed to harvest, but I figured that was a little wishful thinking. That pic was taken at just over 9 weeks, and my gut was telling me that maybe 9-11 weeks was going to be more realistic.
Waiting for another 2 weeks may just about kill me. Fortunately it looks like my location is heading in to a stretch of excellent weather, so that should bode well for my eventual harvest 
This waiting thing is just killing me…

Mmmm looks incredible!
Thanks @ktreez420. But let me ask you, in your opinion, is it ready to harvest?
I’m doing my level best to be patient with this grow, but if I’m 100% honest, the wait is killing me…lol!
Ok well I’m not going to tell you what to do, but instead I’ll give you the options you have here. Then you can decide.
- Give her another week, then flush, then harvest a week after the flush.
- Flush now and harvest in a week.
Most growers cut their grow short but wanting to harvest so badly haha, so a lot of growers will say, when you think she’s ready, wait another week, then harvest.
If this was my plant, I would check my trichs with a microscope, and DEPENDING on the cloudiness to Amber ratio I would flush immediately and harvest in a week. But I also give my girls 36 hours of darkness on their last day of life. I’ve noticed that in those 36 hours the trichs can really develope some nice Amber and resins. Do whatever YOU feel is right tho, I feel like we’re telling people what to do too much on the forum, instead of just giving the options you can take and seeing what everyone chooses to do. This makes our community very diverse when everyone is doing their own thing, but still growing incredible buds regardless!
I love ILGM lol!

Thanks for the advice… and the options.
One thing is certainly clear though - I’ve got a little more waiting to do…
AGGHHHH!!! This wait is KILLING ME!!!

I was reading that trichs ratio for readiness would be diff if the strain is more sativa dominant or indica dominant Mine is I think 20-80 indica Dom. Think it said sativa dominant would be 5% Amber trichs but then didn’t say much about indica Dom thinking no Amber

Really good point. I wish I knew the indica to sativa ratio of my plants but the breeder I got my seeds from wasn’t that specific. 
Northern lights is usually 60/40 indica dominant sometimes more of an indica ratio such as 70/30-75/25-and 80/20

Yup. Each day I check and the hairs are a little more brown. I decided to wait at least until this coming Saturday. Not sure if I’m physically able to wait more than that… we’ll just have to see.

It’s like I’m a little kid with ZERO impulse control. I just want to rip the entire plant out of the ground and then ram it in the microwave (shudder) for some quick smoke. Pretty funny when I think of how patient and persistent I’ve been throughout 99% of this grow…
Lmao, I used to be the same way long ago my friend, the patience is worth it when you harvest all that good bud, and get to smoke it and didn’t have to really pay for it, you’ll definatley thank yourself lol, not to mention run around with a big smile on your face cause you did my have to pay for the best smoke in town
