Ready for harvest? Flowering for about 5 weeks or so. Opinions - now, later? Not too much on it (bud) but doing well all things considered as this is not the best area to be trying this...
wait atleast 3 more weeks!!!!
3 more weeks? I know I want to look for the trichonomes but do I also want to look for something about the flowers themselves? Thank you for the advice.
Atleast 3 more weeks mate,they look no where near to me..
I'm chopping 2 of my babies tonight as i tested a branch and after only a quick drying (2 nights) and 6 hours in a jar the high was perfection.
I cannot wait for the properly dried and cured product.
ya no where near done at least 3 more weeks look for the hairs to start turn red/brown then you can buy a 30x magnifier from radioshack and look at trichomes im sure you can find a thread on here about %of trichome color to specific high becuase i know i have you just gotta look.
Past week it's been in the 50s during the day, last night was the first frost. I started putting her outside in the morning, putting her in a closet at night. The only concern I have is that the temp difference would effect it somehow - doubtful though? Was outside all summer. I'm going right now about 12 hours of light, 12 in pitch black dark though... sound about right? (Note: the 12:12 is the natural ratio of light:night right now).
About 3 weeks - I can continue moving it in, out for that. No problem. Don't want her to get too cold though! I wonder how much I may yield from it at the end...? Watching for bud mold too I think I will be ok though...
Does it matter if the plant is getting direct sunlight? I put it outside each day & it gets indirect sunlight... this is based on how the sunlight hits where it is - outside... I think it should be ok but I am not sure?
I remember reading somewhere only needs a couple hours of direct sunlight like 2-3 then indrect is good enough for the rest
The more Direct Light the better. The amount of growth differental is not extrem but noticable if direct light less than 6 hours. IMO
And yes you have 3 weeks minimum to go before harvest.
BOL

Yep.. 3 weeks more at least. You'll be surprised how much more the buds will fatten up.
Get that magnifier so you can view the trichomes up close... If you want a "head" high, harvest when the trichs are mostly cloudy... If you want a more "couch-lock" body high, let them go a little longer and harvest when the trichs change to a more "amber" or yellow color.
