Harvest???
TheHighNewsanswered grow question 4 years ago
The end is near my friend! (and winter is coming 😰) i would wait a week, checking daily on trichomes searching for the high you are looking for.
What i personally prefer after different tests is a 20% of amber because at this moment THC production is at its peak, while CBD levels are still low and stable, since molecules quickly become THC. Also terpene (aromatic molecules) production is also at its peak, developing gorgeously aromatic floral clusters.
Many growers harvest their cannabis plants at this moment because they prefer a more clear and cerebral psychoactive effect.
If you prefer a Couch lock weed (a strong physical sedation caused by weed) you need to wait on a high % of amber trichomes.
All this info are just suggestions to make u understand what is the harvest window but harvesting is very personal thing i would suggest you to try different harvest times and find your way for your favorite smoke and high.
Good luck Growmie!💪

Your trichomes look milky with some of them still clear. If you are seeking a more cerebral mind high you can harvest now. Most growers like to harvest when they begin turning amber, which will give a good balance between body and mind. I personally wait because I like to gave a higher yield so I suggest you wait a week or 2. Most seed companies boast 8 week flower times when in reality it's usually 10 weeks, even for indica. I don't know how long your plant has been in flower. They look a little loose. Count from the day you flipped to 12/12. 10 weeks should be harvest time.

Help!! Do I harvest?About 50% milky, 40% clear trichome heads. But in some minor spots, they are all dark brown/amber. Its supposed to be a Forbidden Cherry Automatic (Dutch Passion), but did not turn purple. I want it to be a bit more relaxing, indica-like. Week 11, outdoor balcony grow.

Edible out of fresh harvestHi, I'm not very much into smoking weed, more like eating edibles. In cause of financial and space problems, my plan is to make edibles stait out of the harvest or after the drying. My question is: Does the curing/fermentation effects the potency or effect of the weed?Buds. Other

Timing a 7d flush — will it over-ripen if I begin flushing when it's ready for harvest and keep it for 1 more week on flush juice?Need advice on timing a 7d flush. My 2nd grow, both (Sativas) flowered signif. longer than advertised (+2-4 weeks).
To know when to start flushing, do you visually estimate when a plant is no more t 1wk from harvest? If I start flush when it's ripe for harv, too late or ok?5 days ago

To harvest, or not to harvestCurious what others thoughts are - I realize this diary is seriously lacking. I only stumbled here on week 8 of this experiment.
Do you think this girl is nearing, right at or still some time left before harvest?

Should I trim/jar now or wait another day or 2?Today is day 4 of drying and I've unfortunately had my temps around 68 and humidity at around 42%. The buds feel pretty dry/on the verge of crispy but the stems still have some bend. Should I jar tonight or will the moisture even out and wait for that snap? Thanks for any help!

Is this still good or is it ruined?Hung plants to dry and waited for stems to snap, unfortunately when I checked the buds were so crispy they basically crumbles in my hands. I heard this could be mold/rot also. Did I mess up and over dry my buds, or is this something much more awful? Is this still salvageable?

Right harvest time - Trichome color expierencesCan you please share your experiences regarding the right time for 48h darkness + harvest?
WW 70% Indica/30%Sativa, if the trichome color is milky it will be a head fucused instead of body focused effect
Expectation:Harvest time should support the ratio type of strainWeek 8
