What should I do?
GrowerTomstarted grow question 5 years ago
How long does it take for the trichomes to develop a mushroom like head on them? The trichomes on mine appear thin and hair like with only a few on them to have the head that appear to be a little cloudy. The plant has been in flower nine weeks. What should I do?

Looks fairly frosty... no bulbous heads? (phrasing, boom!)
Well, that's not a great sign, but i woudn't get bummed out.
Is this only on top? maybe, evaporating or even physical contact damaging them, if you see healthier trichomes below.
Some strains supposedly don't turn amber for longer periods of time, but is ripe... historically i believe those were sativa, but with all the interbreeding it likely doesnt matter much anymore as far as the chance of it.
Some strains take longer than 9 weeks, too.
as far as cloudy -- background can greatly impact what you see. Amber can be a faint hue but seem transluscent otherwise and not too cloudy, etc. check out google image for some reference points. find some that look like yours, if you can.
I'd wait longer. Trust the trichomes. It generally progresses quickly. you'll see consistent amber or 2 anywhere you look, then thenex tday it's 10% instead of 1-2, and so on.
heck, on a plant i have in bloom right now after 40 days the trichomes are cloudier than i ever see it at the end, lol... certainly isn't ready for harvest.

Right harvest time - Trichome color expierencesCan you please share your experiences regarding the right time for 48h darkness + harvest?
WW 70% Indica/30%Sativa, if the trichome color is milky it will be a head fucused instead of body focused effect
Expectation:Harvest time should support the ratio type of strainWeek 8

Is this still good or is it ruined?Hung plants to dry and waited for stems to snap, unfortunately when I checked the buds were so crispy they basically crumbles in my hands. I heard this could be mold/rot also. Did I mess up and over dry my buds, or is this something much more awful? Is this still salvageable?

Should I trim/jar now or wait another day or 2?Today is day 4 of drying and I've unfortunately had my temps around 68 and humidity at around 42%. The buds feel pretty dry/on the verge of crispy but the stems still have some bend. Should I jar tonight or will the moisture even out and wait for that snap? Thanks for any help!

To harvest, or not to harvestCurious what others thoughts are - I realize this diary is seriously lacking. I only stumbled here on week 8 of this experiment.
Do you think this girl is nearing, right at or still some time left before harvest?

Timing a 7d flush — will it over-ripen if I begin flushing when it's ready for harvest and keep it for 1 more week on flush juice?Need advice on timing a 7d flush. My 2nd grow, both (Sativas) flowered signif. longer than advertised (+2-4 weeks).
To know when to start flushing, do you visually estimate when a plant is no more t 1wk from harvest? If I start flush when it's ripe for harv, too late or ok?19 days ago

Edible out of fresh harvestHi, I'm not very much into smoking weed, more like eating edibles. In cause of financial and space problems, my plan is to make edibles stait out of the harvest or after the drying. My question is: Does the curing/fermentation effects the potency or effect of the weed?Buds. Other

Help!! Do I harvest?About 50% milky, 40% clear trichome heads. But in some minor spots, they are all dark brown/amber. Its supposed to be a Forbidden Cherry Automatic (Dutch Passion), but did not turn purple. I want it to be a bit more relaxing, indica-like. Week 11, outdoor balcony grow.

What do you all think?What do you all think?
The harvest will be in a few weeks, in Germany only 50g is allowed dry
Do you think it will be more or less?
I know it will be hard to tell from a picture how much dry remains, but I hope there are some estimates.
