When to harvest?
NobodysBudsanswered grow question 5y ago
you have long enough that is is more than 2 weeks out, i'd bet... get a 30-60x magnification of any sort and start checking trichomes.. watch progression.
read 1000+1 opinions on when to harvest based on color of trichome through google searches.
amber = degradation. Some amber is not necessarily a bad thing though. whatver averags out to the most cloudy and no glass is probably best?

Flowering/Preflowering/Showing sex in Vegative Stage?Hey,
Today I noticed all my outdoor plants have pistils after being 3-5weeks outside. Is this normal and will they continue veg due to increasing days/temps? Also, could this be reversed with additional light? Currently in the 7th week of Spring with 14h light and 13h sunrise.5y ago

Bud rot AGAIN?! Can an autolfower in flowering stage survive and get enough sun INDOORS in front of a window?Noticed another brown spot on a bud on my plant, perhaps not coincidentally after a couple days of rain. Bud rot AGAIN?! Can an autoflower in flowering stage get enough sunlight being indoors in front of a window? Worried that this is going to keep happening if I keep it outside.Week 12

Ensuring Fat Buds Once Flowering Begins?What can I do to get fat buds on a pure Sativa outdoor pot plant, once she begins to flower?
Stopped feeding, excepting a handful of wood ash, to increase potassium.
Super cropped her before I switched to 12-12 light, I'd read it'll increase resin production.
Any thing else?Week 1

High HumidityDo my buds look airy?
I live by the coast even with a dehumidifier in my tent, I am having trouble with RH at around 60-65. I run 2 small 6 inch fans one below, one from the top. I also run a 4 inch inline. I have a 2x2x4 tent.
Any help with dehumidifying my tent?Week 8

How rare are 50-55 day flowerers?I’ve got a cutting of “pure indica” fr ILGM I’ve run several times now. Pics are day 48 in flower. It seems this might be a legit 50-55 day flowerer. Question is, is that pretty rare? do you agree this is even ready a week from now?(I like less amber) (No diary for this plant)Buds. Other
