Beginning week 11 they are still doing amazing. I'm keeping a constant eye on them for any signs of trouble but so far I've been very fortunate. A couple more weeks of flower i am guessing according to the flower schedule of the strain. This will be my first ever harvest so I have read what to look for but have never personally witnessed it by eye. I think maybe one more week of nutrients then switch to only water for the final two weeks or could I push it longer and what risks do I run if I do push it longer? *MID-WEEK UPDATE* They are looking amazing still though I am concerned about bud rot. I have a small odor of stale water but have none anywhere even sitting in the pots, the humidity stays down in the low 30's execpt one night where it hit 99 for a couple hours but since then it has stayed very low and dry. I can see no signs of rot but know it's hard to detect and with the smell I am smelling I am concerned. I have them in a tent with the door open and an exhaust fan plus two circulation fans now running on them now, so I hope I avoid any problems. I believe I am going to need to harvest in two cycles taking the main colas first and letting the lower plants finish maturing. I've never harvested before so this is all new and experimental to me so I appreciate all the tips I am able to learn and try here on growdiaries. thanks to all who post here.

Grow Questions

ShadokinVeilstarted grow question 4 years ago
Ok, so I didn't do much defoliating or pruning ever, I'm on week 11, day 25 of a 49-63 day flower cycle. Should I do any type of defoliating now or just let it go to the end? What about just the big leaves or middle leaves? I think just let it go now, right? Thanks all

They look great, I would not remove leaves unless you need light to penetrate a certain area or are dealing with high humidity.

I noticed the first few amber trichomes on my top bud yesterday with 23 days left for recommended flower time. How long does the color change take normally on the trichomes? I think I need to take the top two colas first and let the bottom catch up. My 1st harvest ever, any tips?

Wait until the pistils are 95-98% brown, this will give you buds with peak THC and terpenes. Letting all the pistils go brown will give you flowers with reduced THC, but with elevated CBD and CBN levels, producing buds with a sleepy and heavy body stone rather than a mind warping head high. So depending on which type of effect you prefer, let these parameters guide your harvest timing. At this stage you still have a while to go. I would suggest harvesting the whole plant at the same time, once you remove large portion of the plant, it freaks out and its metabolism is really stressed, meaning it takes ages for the second pick buds to finish and in my experience, they are never as good as the early harvest buds, possibly due to the freaked out metabolism caused by the giant shock of removing large portions of the plant being unable to support any further trichome development. Personally, I believe harvesting by pistil colour is far more indicative for harvest timing, as trichome colour alone can be misleading, as some plants will never get amber trichomes, while others will have 50% amber trichomes after only 4 weeks of flowering. Pistil colour will indicate the plants level of maturity precisely, as it is plant health which dictates trichome quality, not trichome colour. Hope this helps,.............. Organoman.

@Ferenc, in reference to my title, I was saying that this is my very first grow and I made mistakes, many, many mistakes, but this strain is so forgivable I still managed to grow something beautiful.

Hi @shadokinveil, you're doing great so far! You're just a few quick weeks before your first harvest. I had mine just 4 days ago and you're definitely right, it's like Christmas :D The best part of it is that the harvest itself is very satisfying but a few days later the second part comes which for me personaly is even more exciting which is weighing the dry harvest. This will tell you how good you actually did in your first attempt to grow your own beautiful flowers :) I wish you all the best :) XOXO Cremo
