So my question is, has anyone ever grown The godfather OG strain? I am at 63 days of flowering and most of my pistols are still White (bout 40%). I would say and the trichomes are getting milky. I’ve switched them over to just water oh by the way it’s hydroponic so no nutes.
Should I harvest or not or wait a couple more weeks

Photos would help us help you better.
Are you counting flower from when you flipped the lights or some other timeline? 6 weeks flowering isn’t enough time for almost any strain.
As a fellow hydro grower, I wouldn’t stop nutes until you’re certain you’ll be harvesting within 3-5 days. Hydroponics don’t need a flush (and in fact I’d argue soil doesn’t either, but I know it’s a preference thing) because the only nutes your plant is getting are coming from the water.
I’m guessing you have 4-6 weeks to go, without having any pics to base it off.

It’s on the second day of the beginning of week 10 since I flipped the lights to 12 and 12

Gotcha!
They look like I’d let them go on full strength flowering nutes for another 2 weeks. Assess the trichomes around the end of 2 weeks from now and decide how you like them (cloudy, or cloudy/amber, or mostly amber). You’ll probably be approaching the mostly cloudy stage by 2-3 weeks from now, which means you’ll hit “smokeable but not fabulous” territory if you’re in a rush to have some bud. If you’re not in a rush, give it 3 and decide if you want to wait it out for more bulk (they’ll usually get a bit fatter as the trichomes begin to go amber)
It’s always personal preference, but if it were me, I’d give it 2 weeks and re-evaluate, with a plan to harvest in 3-4 weeks depending on how they progress.

I agree they have quite a ways to go. This time of the grow make it hard to wait. It is definitely worth getting the better quality though. The extra bulk is a bonus also.

I’m on day42 of 12/12 on my godfather. Unfortunately mine has seeds. First time ever I’ve had a plant with seeds. Don’t know what caused it, but the buds look ok.
What is your DLI at? I see plenty of completely recessed brown pistils as well as the new white ones. At about this stage I drop the DLI back to 35 and increase 5 each week for the last 3 weeks to inhibit foxtailing and let her fatten up. I grew 2. One was trained for a very flat canopy and the other was trained for 6 main missile colas.

I lowered my DLI to 35 like you said it was much higher. U said raise it by 5 each week starting next week?
That is what I do based on what I have researched. I found a photo DLI chart and modified it as the one I found did not include extra weeks for veg like I do. I typically veg for 10-12 weeks. Here are both charts. The last few weeks are tapering off. I think I mistated what I was trying to say earlier.
Un modified from the web.
and here is the one I added weeks to based on how I grow.
and this is for autos

Id go another week. Trichomes look mostly cloudy. Or two weeks if you want more amber. Id suggest inspecting them closer if you have means to.
