when to harvest. first grow please help.

[roust84]

hey - i dont wanna get you all panicked but... you harvested your plants after only 1 month of flowering?
hrm.. well, im not an expert but doesnt it take at least 7-8 weeks of flowering on 12/12 to be fully mature?
i dunno.. you said it yourself the trichomes were clear... why didnt you wait another few weeks?

no biggie man any criticism is welcome of course. u are correct that i did say they were clear. but i check a few days after or something like that and they were turning milky and there were alot of orange hairs hanging around. u are absolutly right about wanting them to be milky. i did hit half a bowl and it knocked me on my ass so i think i didnt mess up too bad.

as for only a month for flower....it was longer than one month for the 12/12 light cycle but i didnt record the date of changing light cycle so what i ment by that was it had been one month from me seeing the first flowers starting of form. might have been about 2 months form time of 12/12 to harvest. what ever the time frame was the weed is good.


any more observations please feel free to share... thanks
