I'd wait a bit, they will probably keep putting on mass, but you need to get a good look at the Trics to see whats going on.

Looks like you have at least a week, but it could be as many as 4 or 5. You really need to go by the trichomes. Get a cheap jeweler's loupe or something. You want between 10-50% amber trichomes. The more, the stronger the effect. Cheers!

Ready for the chop? Day 59 of flowering
Does it still need more time? Hairs look 75-90%(depending on what cola you look at) orange and trichs look about right. Not sure if I'm seeing new pistols or their just kinda folding inwards. My preference is to harvest it for a nice balanced effect. Just a little couch lock.

Chop chop, or not?
I feel like I can chop her down already. Bud is dense as rocks, the hairs got quite brown, and curled and the trichomes are getting milky. Don’t want couch lock weed, so what you guys think?

Drying Techniques, Which One?...
I have a question on drying, what are your opinions? 1)drying the whole plant fan leaves & all 2) drying the whole plant with only fan leaves removed 3) wet trim, cutting each branch off separately & then hang drying I'm looking for best quality flower not the fastest.

Are these ladies ready for harvest? (2 wks beyond recommendation)
Should I harvest now or wait a week? Think Different Sativa is 11 wks to harvest and I am at wk 13. Still seeing new buds/pistils and straight white pistils. Around 40-50% brown hairs and cloudy trichomes but no amber. Using Coco/Perlite in 4 gallon autopot. 76F/47%RH. No flush.

How should I harvest?
So we are 2 weeks out from harvest, but I’m wondering would it be more efficient to defoliate fan leaves and hang the plant upside down, or to cut it into multiple sections? At week 22 I believe in our diary we have more pictures.

Weed smells dry like regular cut grass. What to do?
I harvested parts of my laughing buddha and I've dried it for a few days now and the thing is, it smells like regular cut grass. When I touch it it smells like it's supposed to but when I open the jar it smells only like cut grass. Other plants have their unique smell tho. Help

Once again I must ask, is it ready for harvest?
Pistols are anywhere from 60-80% orange depending on the cola, and the trichomes are mixed, I see some clear, I see milky and I see amber.We're mid week 8 of flower as well. If it's close enough should I ice the pot and start my 2 days of darkness now?

Best way to cure your harvest? Any tips or best practices would handy. I know I need mason jars and humidity packs and a dark place. I read I should leave the plant alive but in total darkness for 3 days before I harvest? I am so confused, but I know curing is very important.

HAY SMELL
Buds smelling a bit like hay/wet grass! what's weird is that the fat main tops are "crispy" and smell sweet and fruity but the smaller buds are still wet and smell like hay. On day 13 of drying 60%rh 72°F. The bigger stems are starting to snap but the smaller ones only bend??

harvest worries
One of the plants looks ready. I was told generally to add 1-2 weeks when you think its ready to harvest. But How should i proceed now? Flushing? drying out? when or should i even prune before cutting the plant down? What should my drying/hang space look like?

Harvest: I don’t know what’s coming ahead
I’m 5 weeks into flower, maybe 3 weeks left, that’s enough time to get anything I’m missing. I watched some vids on youtube. Can someone give me some steps to follow for harvest and what I might need? I have CBD plants, bud formation is not like regular THC plants.
