I have too many strains. No more stakes to use. Bending branches at day 60 of flower. I thought Id be harvesting this weekend but idk if these are ready cause Im still a noob
   
Looks to me like you got another week or so maybe a little less. But it's really hard to see how many pistils are colored and the shading of the trichs under those lights, so my opinion there is moot as they never look as far along as they actually are when under that spectrum.
If i were you id go check em out with a microscope and flashlight right at lights off and then decide what your going to do. if you dont have a microscope if your eyes are good and you get the light at the right angle you'll be able to catch whether or not the trichs have a white or amber tint.

Thanks man!
When I'm looking at the trichomes through a magnifying glass, is the milky color supposed to be super apparent or subtle? Cause most of these trichs have a pretty transparent look to them still at day 64, but theres some amber action going on (like 15% on some) where the others on the same buds still look transparent, So Im thinking because I didn't have this thing a week ago I didn't get to see how transparent they really were before this.

id say you got longer than you think then, when the transparency goes away it's pretty obvious, you can even tell from a distance as the swollen white resin heads stand out and make the thing look like you just oured sugar all over the buds, even from a distance.

Im running like 6 strains lol. But all of them are recommended 60-65 days. And Im going on day 66
They all look about the same under 60x, with slight variations. Some have gotten less transparent in the last 2 days. Id say about half and half. I'm considering harvesting tomorrow. I don't want to wait too long I don't want a couch-locked high effect from these.

hmmmm, mine were past 50/50 when they came down at 6 weeks, but they were 7 week strains.
I am of no use to you here, but as long as you DONT have a high amber trich count you will avoid that heavily sedating couch-lock effect unless your genetics just produce that effect naturally, in which case pulling a little bit early wont change that too much.
My dutch kush is still super stony even pulled a little early, the special queen is much, much more cerebral

I've heard this comparison "when your trich goes from looking like glass to looking like plastic you are close". I also agree that the HPS can make your trich look lighter than they really are. Can you snap a pic with some other source of light? Your plants look nice and healthy. I'm showing severe deficiencies going into week 5 of flower. I'll get some pics today and see if we can't figure out my problem. I'm thinking they need more N as well as magnesium. Sloppy, good work man

N deficiency for sure, id check your PH to make sure it hasn't risen too far and locked out the N, if that looks good just bump up the N in the feedings for those particular plants. keep an eye on the healthier looking one in the bottom right as well, looks fantastic overall but is just starting to show some of the beginnings of N deficiency as well on a couple of the fan leaves that should still be nice and green for a couple more weeks minimum.

My plants shriveled up at the end. All except a couple just completely shit the bed towards the end. Growing organically with a super soil mix so I wasn't really prepared for that last stretch to be such a struggle for them. I need to do a better job with feeding them next time during that critical period. Just water wasn't enough and too much consistent teas in overkill will burn them. Need to find the right balance.
Harvested tonight.
Work station
Banana Kush. Came out pretty purp, hard to tell in the pic though
And this is all except my last 2 plants
Now they are hanging back in the tent as full plants, gonna chop the last 2 tomorrow. And then we wait.

not bad, still looks a bit early, but not bad at all for a first run. Way better than my first HID run turned out :3
cant wait to hear some smoke reports and see how your next runs turn out, i just started myself another grow journal for my bigger plant/future single plant perpetual runs

What makes you say it still looks early? I let my plants go until day 68-69. Almost all of them interestingly had the same trichome profile and were all about 50/50 clear/cloudy with some amber thrown in. I just couldn't really wait too much longer for them. Leaves were curling and dying and 8 days over 60 seemed like it was a pretty nice time to harvest. They were putting on anything visible the last 2 weeks. And those lights were getting expensive  Wasn't trying to keep them on for another 5 days just to get a full cloudy profile. Cost/benefit 
This would have been a lot better if I didn't burn them week 4-5. Gave them compost teas every other day thinking that was ok in an already nutrient rich soil mix. But I learned from my mistake. Also, never having 6 plants per light again in a 4x8. Fuck that. Way too much to handle, and the yield suffered I think.
I'm trimming my last plant and will give a lb/light average when Im done

the buds look great, im just used to seeing a bit more girth to the calyxes and a bit less pistil coverage by that point in flower. That could easily just be the genetics, but they just dont look quite as filled in as i would expect by that point in flower. How heavy were you feeding the last few weeks before the flush out of curiosity?
But hey, anything over 8 weeks is a massive flowering time for me lol, most my strains have been very quick flowering. I got a couple 9 weeks strains back up to bat now though, and im dreading the 63+ day wait to be honest

After the burn I went only water the rest of the time. I wasn't really sure how to handle it, I didn't want to stress them out at that point. But they could have filled out a lot more, you aren't wrong. I was noticing that during my trimming.
Im excited to blast all of my trim into some BHO. Should be some awesome trim run. The best of all worlds. Should get a solid yield too with an HP too
