Welcome back. It looks like you still have white hairs…from what I can see…you have weeks to go yet ---

We would need some more pictures…but seems like more than 2 weeks. Those white hairs will turn dark and then it will be time to monitor trichomes. How long has it been in flower? ---

1 month in true flower if flipped march first. Fastbuds 8-10weeks. Typical 10-12. Timing them is a waste really. Harvest when they are done. They will get done when they want. 4 weeks out i say low end of 10 weeks. Just my thoughts. Most swell comes at the end. Just check on the trichs and start a watch in a couple weeks. ---

All grows are different, but I seem to harvest Indica leaning plants about 60 - 70 days after the flip. For sativa leaning it is more like 70 - 90. It is all about monitoring your trichomes for the ripeness for your desired effect. ![Trich guide](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/f/b/1/fb106c63ec5f4dee54474b1f995dbaf04d223832.jpeg) ---

Wow, I was way off. Thank you so much for all the information. I really appreciate it. This is where I usually probably blow it so I will wait one more month. ---

Thank you also do they need to be in direct sunlight outside or can I put them underneath something with the cover so if it rains, the buds won’t get wet ---

Spray with some fungicide/insecticide/miticide as a preventative and givem sun i say. Just me. Many 3 way organic sprays out there. I use growers ally. 10 bux free ship for a sample. Makes a gallon. If you just flipped inside why go outside? Too many hours will reveg it. ---

I flipped them March 1 and put them outside. I was thinking about putting them under my patio cover because of rain. right now I keep covering them with a tarp. ---

Light hours. How many per day outside right now? If that is a photo it is very important. ---

Mj usually flowers for between 8 to 12 weeks. It takes about 2 weeks after flipping lights for it to truly be flowering. She’s just barely getting started. You probably have at least a month but most likely more than that. Never be in a hurry to harvest. ---

If you are in the northern hemisphere she will probably reveg before she ever finishes flowering. Unless you can keep her from getting more the 12 hours of light per day.
