Harvest/does soil need to be completely dry?

started grow question 6y ago
One more quick question about harvesting. Do I need to make sure the soil is completely dry before cutting it down?

Por supuesto , mi recomendación es que cortes dejando secar muy bien el sustrato para que la planta termine de chupar todo. Además facilitarás el secado, que con la humedad tiende a salir hongos en la flor. Un saludo y buenos humos

It's best to be dry. Makes the drying process go a little quicker and it's best to take in the middle of lights out. Cheers

Excess leaf growth
Is this excess leaf growth around bud sights normal for particular strains? I'm thinking it could be too much Nitrogen during flower but I'm not sure. Would appreciate any tips on getting the plant to focus its energy on buds rather than leaf growth. (Fyi, it is a sativa)

Harvest time or wait a few days?
I think I'm going crazy but they almost look clearer to me (the trichome stalks especially) than they did a few days ago. Is it depreciating, or is this what happens before they amber up?

Light Bleaching
Light Bleaching? I would just like to know if some of you groupies out there can have a look at the photos above - Notice the top-sites' small sugar leaves are slightly lime green and I just want to know if it could be light bleaching before its gets too serious. Or what else..

Should I harvest?
I think that im on that phase when i cant fail for real. Analysing with what i got, a small scope for the camera of cellphone, i still see a lot of translucent thrichomes not to much milky and no amber. One more week and harvest, controlling every day the differences?

Looking for some advice on harvesting this girl
Just looking for some advice on harvesting really. Looking at the thrichs, I feel like harvesting now might be a bit early. I think she suffered badly from heat stress. if it were yours, would you cut your losses and move on? She's at about Day 64(ish) from seed.

We're entering week 13 here. Hopefully, I added adequate pictures for feedback. Should I go ahead and start flushing these next two weeks to prepare for harvest? A few pics and a video were uploaded to show what I see under a magnifying glass. Don't want to go to early or late.

Is that rot? :((
Does this seem like rot? (Pic 1&2) It is the last week of flowering, what should I do? :((( I do not see anything else wrong except for some top sugar leaves that are partly white (Pic 3) -not covered by anything but white themselves. Thanks!

Day 86 cloudy trich
Day 86 trichomes are mostly cloudy. But there is still no amber. Impatience in line phase😎 Pistiller is still white, I think it will take 10 more days. Purple leaves have formed since I added UV light.

How long between the sugar leaf trichomes turning amber and the bud trichomes turning amber?
So I'm noticing on my leaves, many of the trichomes are amber - perhaps 20-30% average, and up to 50% on some. However, the buds have not gotten there yet. Approximately how long before the buds catch up? PS: are these trichomes cloudy or clear? I have an inexperienced eye. 😇

Plants seems very dry
I’m not seeing very many white pistils. I’m also seeing brown spots mostly only on the top. I’ve started flushing but wondering if I’m too early and if the brown parts are just where it’s dried out

Buds are always too dry. Why?
How do you keep your buds sticky? It took 5 days to dry my Purple Punch in the tent, above the lights as previously suggested! :) however they always seem to dry if I wait for a stem to audibly snap. What shall I do? Thanks so much 🙏
