Critical is my baby, love her but she needs to kick it up a notch to catch up to Tangie. They are a day and a half apart from the start of flower. Who knows, day after tomorrow and it could happen.
Weak solution of nutes only once this week. Confused as to the flower time as my packet says 70to80 days and the website says 55to65 days. @growerschoiceseeds
I've tried photographing the tricomes as they have amber on them. I spoke with Growers Choice and was told that the average from seed to harvest is 70 to 80 days. The lowest side branch broke 8/1 12oz wet nugs and stems.
when to harvest is the question
I'm confused as to where I am looking when determining tricome color. Do I look at the sugar leaves, or the calyx, for color change. I've included photos of both the sugar leaves and calyx if you can assist me before it overripens.
Hi there ! You have to look every parts of the plants , Calyxes & Suga leaves ! But not only : Take a look at every bud sites and you will notice different stage on each parts ! The upper buds could have a different trichomes ratio (amber/cloudy) than the lower buds while a sugar leaf can have a different ration from the bud she's from. The effect you'r gona get from a bud will be way different in terms of you trichomes colour ratio, so it's an important think to consider when harvesting ! I prefer a 30%amber / 70%cloudy ratio to avoid any couch lock effects !! I hope it will help you for the best
Hi @VT420! You should look onto the buds, both calyxes & sugar leaves. Depending on the environment some buds may look ready and some others won't, in that case you can harvest step by step, or you can cut as it is and enjoy different effects on different buds. As I prefer energetic high, I tend to cut once all the trichomes have turned milky, sometimes even before the amber trichomes appear. It's up to you, but your judging on your last pictures I think you're good to harvest now. You can do it before the light turns on if you want the most of the terpenes. Hope this helps, keep us up-to-date and enjoy your harvest! 👊
I've just harvested my crop and don't have all the information yet. I'll update after the drying process. I overtrimmed this batch, first harvest mistake, still is a good smoke in such a short cure.
