Grow Questions
Shagrathanswered grow question 5 years ago
Hi there!
I can see whole lot of clear trichomes in there so it is not yet ready for harvest.
Give her time and keep checking every two to three days how she develops.
When you see no clear ones the window for harvest is open and it should look something like 90%cloudy 10%amber or so.
the "optimum" time to harvest is 70%cloudy and 30% amber.
Cloudy trichomes has the most THC in them and amber ones has CBN. When more cloudy trichomes you will get more head high and with more amber you will get body high (So called, couch lock).

Not the best harvest in terms of yield, but glad there was recovery to the plants by changing grow medium.
9 grams is not entirely accurate, it was just all I had left to put on a scale. It also excludes the weight of any trim.
Do wish I started directly in coco with this grow, but I wanted to try a "sand grow" experiment before trying the coco.
