When to harvest CBD-rich flowers
Imzzz
started grow question 6y ago
Sorry, I don't think I was clear enough in my last question. Do CBD-rich flowers look different to THC-rich flowers at their ideal harvest time?

No they don't. For a perfect effect you should harvest them when all trichomes are amber.

Mold in cured buds?
After some days of curing I observed some lighter colored spots usually closer to the stems. With magnification they appear to be short white hairs. Did I not see them earlier? Is this normal or is it mold? What to do with the batch?

In the harvest window? Or not?
Are there any obvious reasons NOT to harvest this plant right now? Like, do you look at this picture and think, "No way, you shouldn't harvest that yet, because..." Whatever that reason is, if there is one, please tell me. Thanks so much.

Nanners or am I just high?
Are these nanners? Found them this afternoon, I looked all of the plant afterwards and these are the only ones. They are on the top of the main cola. I moved it away from the rest of the plants for now.

Harvest or leave go for 2-3 more weeks
Light burned buds only 6 weeks into flowering (8 week flower). What to do? Harvest? I corrected the light issue, which I think caused this. Should I still try to let them go a few more weeks? What happens after all the white pistils go brown?

Trichome ripeness
A lot of amber trichs popping up on sugar leaves. This is the stage I (prematurely) harvested at in my last grow, although that was in week 11 and this is almost week 9. I should be able to harvest in no longer than 3 weeks right? Maybe sooner?

How to know if a plant has dried sufficiently to cure
This is my 1st grow so I cut a node off a plant to experience the drying process before harvesting the whole plant. How will I know that it has dried sufficiently to cure? What should I be looking for? This has hung for 5 days in a shed already but it is 40°C and very humid here.

Is it time to harvest?
My Gorilla Cookies is almost 8 weeks old (incl. germination) and shows many amber trichomes and some dried pistils, though many are still white. Orange Sherbet, same age and seedbank, is less mature. Temps were 32-33°C. Is this heat stress or early ripening? Can I cut my plant?

Top colas seem having less trichome
I think the main colas are less frosted compared to the lower buds. Wht could be the problem? I turn the pot daily, and keep the closest top cola to the light like 1000ppfd.
