I just checked my Hashberry at 51 days flowering and about 40% are amber. Mandala suggests a 60-65 day flower. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? Should I harvest now?

Are the trichomes 40% amber, or the pistils (hairs)? If it's the trichomes, you'll want to harvest now... or pretty soon. THC has begun to degrade pretty heavily at this point. I never follow seedbank flowering times, and rather judge maturity for myself with my own two eyes. It's impossible for a strain to mature at EXACTLY the same time for every grower, because each grower has different sets of circumstances that will either delay or speed up flowering times.

The trichs were amber. I took them down. The 4ft 8 bulb T5 setup worked well for veg but not for flower. I won't make that mistake again. HPS seems to provide much more yield.

T5's are good but hps has better penetration for flowering.

Yield on 5 Hashberry ended up being 7.5 Oz dry. That will keep me medicating for the year!
