When is it time to cut it?

[THCofgreen]

I am a first time grower, I started this plant in late March. I started flowering at the beginning of May. just wondering what the signs are for knowing when it is time to cut it down. I dont want to cut too soon but I also dont want to cut too late. if anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

ok man, ill help ya out. You want to harvest when 50 to 75% of the pistals are amber colored

[busteruk7]

no offence hempsmoker but that is wrong
you want to harvest by looking at the trickholms 50% cloudy and 50% amber will produce a good high
the thing with looking at the hairs is some nute problems deficiensies
can cause the hair to turn difrent colours and you will be harvesting too early if this happens stick with the trickholms when determining harvesting
cheers all

Hempsmoker... It's better to say nothing rather than say the wrong thing.

also when you pick..determines the high......

Get a 30x magnifying glass, or if youve got a microscope lying around, thats even better. If you prefer a sativa high then harvest when the trichs are cloudy. If you want a mix of sativa and indica high then chop at a 50/50 mix. If you want a narcotic, knock-you-on-yer-arse high then harvest when the trichomes are all amber. Harvesting too late will cause the THC to break down in the trichomes, leading to an inferior high.
