So how do I know when to harvest ?? do I count the days from when it sprouted, or just judge it by how it looks?

Hello friend, the best time to harvest is when 80% of your trichomes are milky & the other 20% are a amber color another way to tell is when 80% of your pistols have turned from white to orange! Hope this helps & happy growing friend!✌️🏼

Blackberry Kush HarvestHello Growing Community, Is the Blackberry Kush ready to harvest or should I wait until week 12? There are some random amber trichomes, but not at 20% yet, I'm looking for a relaxing effect. If so my plan would to let her sit in the dark for 1-2 days, then chop. Thank you!Week 11

Is it normal for a mainlined plant to have a few colas stretch so hard? I reckon I only have another 5/6 inches of growth space above the highest cola and am starting to worry. I have swapped out the lights for veg lights today to try and slow it down...Week 8

Brown paper bag dryingHello! For those of you who dry their buds in a brown paper bag, how do you proceed? Right now buds are trimmed and put in a dark, dry closet. Should I check everyday? Wait a bit before I open? How long does it usually take for you to get everything dry?Week 13
