View Full Version : Ok, now what? Harvest decisions.

I had six gals in my greenhouse, four unknowns either done or really close, and two BigBuds, 2nd week of flower. All are growing in 5 gallon buckets. The weather suddenly turned really cold, with freezing last night and in the 20s predicted for tonight and my little heater isn't enough to warm the GH when it gets that cold. So, I brought everybody inside. Now, here's the problem: I only have enough lights for two of the plants and can't get more right now, so I put the 2 Big Bud under the lights. Also, space is an issue as they are all about 5' plants and my grow area is small so I'd have to make a new grow area if I keep all of them alive.

I think the mystery girls are done or really close to it. They are mostly more cloudy then clear and no amber trichs (well, maybe a few). However, the patients I'm growing for prefer more stony so I would have liked to give them another week or two. They've been flowering since about September 20th. So should I just go ahead and cut them? Do I leave them in dark a few days first, or even just leave them with window light? At this point could they ripen a bit more without more lights or will they deteriorate if I don't cut them now? This is my first grow from seed so would hate to mess it up when I've got them this far.

Thanks, appreciate any advice.

I cut a tiny bud off one of the girls, one of the lower/inner branches so not as ripe and popped it into my food dehydrator for a while. Then, since grandpa isn't home and I don't smoke, I grabbed his vaporizer and heated up that bud. I filled a bag about 1/2 way and sucked it down. Yeah, this is good bud. Yeah, this will make sick & hurting people feel better...Yeah, I'm harvesting the rest of it...yeah, yeah, just as soon as I can get up.
