They should be close if outdoor. (mod note: this thread needs to move to Harvest/curing section).
There is a sticky in that section that will show when to harvest posted by Hick.

[greentree]

thank for reply mutt,but there inside,would they still be close to harvest,oh yea i have two that are really short but really full(top heavy)why is that?

[ftw2012]

how long have you had your lights on 12/12?

[greentree]

since july,i think

[ftw2012]

indicas usually take between 6 and 8 weeks to finish..sativas can take up to 12 or 13 weeks. the best way to tell when it harvest is to go by the trouble of the trichs..do you have a maginaifying glass?

[greentree]

yes i do

[ftw2012]

have you looked at the trichs?

[greentree]

no i havent looked,not quiet sure what to look for,its my first grow(indoors)

[ftw2012]

there is a very good pic in the sticky at the top of this drying and curing section...shows you what you want to know. youll know what the trichs are after you look at that pic and then look at your plant.

[greentree]

the trich is looking good i think.lol,but i found out when i planted them,april 20th,about 100 to 120 days old,been on 12/12 for like75/80 days and some of the white hairs are turning orange/red color,is that bad?

[ftw2012]

its not bad....its because its maturing..

[greentree]

how much longer should i let it grow?

Whats up greentree. What you need to look at is the trichromes on the plant. They look like sugar coating the leaves. The trichromes start out clear, then get cloudy, then get amber. What you are looking for is cloudy to amber trichromes. Here is a chart to better help ya out atleast i hope.

[AeroTX]

keep a close eye on those trichomes, that's how you tell. Harvest when they are cloudy, and some amber. You can tell, make sure you don't pick them too late because then you won't a good cure.

[greentree]

Take the advice of Mutt and ftw2012, read the sticky thread at the top of this section, it will answer that question in great detail. Do you have any pics? :D

Also, what color are your trichs?
