Old timer first grow

The old school and simple way to tell when its ready is by the colour of your Pistols/Hairs.When half 50% have turned Amber/Brown then start flushing because its ready when 75% of the hairs are Amber.There's no mistaking that one my friend.I learnt that in 93,lol.

Looking good but she still looks kinda young..your also gonna have to get way closer to those tricomes to see them

Hi! I'm sorry but I disagree with the "hair" method because it's completely unreliable. Other parameters, like humidity or nutrient issues, can have effect of the pistil colour. For example, if I had followed this rule for one my latest grow, I would have cut the plant 3 weeks earlier than by looking at the trichomes, just because at this time the plant had running low in phosphorus and new flowers grow slower, resulting in more amber pistils. The trichome method is the only reliable way to identify when harvest, because that's where the cannabinoids are stored and you can literally see them. It's up to you to choose if you like more you weed with high/cerebrals effects (more cloudy trichomes) or stone/body effects (amber trichomes). But it's not easy to see the trichomes with the poor quality of a compressed camera-phone image, you may have a better view with your bare eyes through your magnifier, or may need a better one (grow shops generally cheap plastic ones who does the job). Real camera with good macro lens can also work (this is how I watch the flowers and make photos for my diaries). Colours of the leaves are also a good indications of the maturity of the plant. Purple colouration and senescence are generally signs of the maturity of the plant (but may not happened at all).

just take them out...... they are big enough to see them very well. they love old wood... etcnormally living outdoors

Looks like a snout beetle. Diet: Nearly all adult weevils and snout beetles feed on plants, though they vary greatly in their preferences for eating stems, leaves, seeds, roots, flowers, or fruits.

Looks ok doesn't appear to be dry all depends on your area of where you dry

Keep drying until you can snap the small stems when you bend them. For dry trimming I like to take off more of the fan leaves before hanging and taking off all the dead brown leaves also.

do you want to do wet trimming? or dry trimming ? or no trimming at all=?..... for curing them well you may neeed 2-3 weeks. and it is like nastyfish said if the branches snap with aloud sound plants maay be cured, and ready to smoke happy harrvesttime i would hang them on a airry place . protect them from direct sunlight. in sumer i let my buds dry on a clothes rack, and i cover the buds with alinen. to protect the trichomes
