Help me. Am I ready to harvest?

[pancake70]

I'm completely new at growing my own. I'm so confused on the best time to harvest. These buds aren't very big - but I'm used to getting my stuff at the dispensaries where they are growing under lights. Can anyone tell by these photos if it's time to harvest? Thanks for any suggestions or info.

Judging by those pics I have to say you have a "hash" strain growing.:stoned:imp:


NO your not ready to harvest, in spite of the amazing amount of resin your girl is producing, you want to let her mature,.... Outdoors depending on latitude your looking at a late october, mid november harvest.


Patience is needed to grow good meds,... so settle in and watch the magic happen. :hippy:

I would continue to let them go for a few more weeks. Wait until October before you think about harvesting. The pistils haven't even changed color yet. Those buds can still double in size before they are ready. Check out this post. http://boards.cannabis.com/basic-gro...y-harvest.html

true that


if you cut them too early you screw yourself on taste, aroma, potency, and yield if you dont let them mature and fill out. The last 2 weeks is when they really plump up and grow trichomes so just wait it out.

Am I correct that people who prefer Indicas generally want to wait until 50% or more of your waterleaves have yellowed?

The duchebag down the road will tell you to let it go till november. Then when it is real sappy then cut it. Those where his exact words. I just kept my mouth shut and thought to myself trichromes my friend.It is better to leave it longer, but he waits till it is all but dead and has been threw a hand full of frosts.

Goes something like this. "if you have to ask us, if the buds are ready, they aren't.

You are new to this. Congrats, for first time you did well. This is what I would do. Get the magnification loop. Pick a small bud. Examine it and keep notes on what you see. Put it on top of the tv or computer. In three days it will ready to try. Smoke it as the first herb of the day. Put your impressions down in your notes.

Do this every three days. Keep good notes. The smoke will mature, and you now have a diary on the plant. Next time you will have a much better idea and know a lot more about what you want, and when it happens, and what to look for.

Sure, the quick dry will not give you the true taste. But it will keep you away from the plant until it is ready.

Best way to shoot yourself in the foot is to harvest early. Better to harvest late.
