My Gold Leaf Fems are at week six of flower and they look somewhat promising. Am I correct in assuming they have another 5 — 6 weeks before it’s time to cut? The buds are dense and pungent. Sadly, the plants are on the small side and I question how much it will result in, but it’s my first grow and I’ll be happy with the lessons learned and one bud, though I believe I’ll have much more than that. @ChittyChittyBangin @MidwestGuy ![IMG_2841](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/4/e/b/4eb01065aea2c5c4fdfaf602cc763b6750219a2a.jpeg) ---

Im about there myself. I’m 3 days into the 9th week and they’re creeping along. I always anticipate the rippening phase. Its a slow and gradual process. I’m watching my Peppers, tomatoes and Brussel Sprouts rippen right along with with my cannabis so I’m getting a pretty good indicator here. My tomatoes are just about ripe. I started them the same time i started my cannabis. Any day now…just have to be patient because if i harvest before their time it will be a shame after all this work to get here. ---

@anon34311147 — Yeah, the waiting and anticipation is the only downside to growing. I’m not inclined to patience so it’s difficult for me. A new life lesson1 Hoping you have a bumper crop! ---

Thanks dude. . This is my first time so I’m super curious how its going to taste and what its going to be like. I am definitely in suspense also. Its like watching a television series on TV waiting for the final episode. As long as it dosent end like the walking dead did. LOL ---

I’ve found if you have plenty of good stuff left from the previous harvest, it makes the waiting much easier. And I don’t even smoke. I grow it for my wife, but I love growing it, so it all works out. ---

Thats awsome… growing it out of pure passion for the plant. People like you is the reason i was able to smoke it through out my life. If everyone grew it for personal use there wouldn’t be any for the rest of us. ---

Yes! Peppers are a horrible tease! Tomatoes almost as bad. But both prepare us for the waiting game that is weed. ---

It gave me a chance to learn how to grow plants before i started growing cannabis. Kind of like joining the little league baseball team to be a pro. Now I’m using them for an indicator…lol… i have ripe peppers and tomatoes but no buds yet. Its gotta be soon. I’m in my 9th week now. Bag seeds so i have no idea what strain they are and what to look for other than cloudy to amber tricohomes. Not quite there yet but the sugar leaves are full of amber. I think they’re toying with me… I’ve noticed a little more bud swell this past week so, I’m real close to the finishing line… ---

Thank you but i seen where i could do better. They really could’ve beneited from a bloom booster i believe. Or i should’ve fed a strong formula for what i run. Plus the pH got away from me in a couple plants and they almost got pollinated by 3 males i had to cull out. I’ll get some up to date pics tomorrow. They’ve changed drastically since last week. ---

@anon34311147 — You know how it goes. We try, we learn, then we adjust worth the next grow. The journey is the reward. You plants look MUCH BETTER than mine do. [Next page](https://ilgmforum.com/t/gold-leaf-feminized-6-weeks-trying-to-estimate-time-to-harvest/105497.md?page=2)
