When is the best time to harvest your plant?
Orion1522started grow question 4 years ago
I know everyone has their own opinions on when to harvest. Is it better to have some amber trichomes or a lot? I have read that the more amber trichomes the stronger the effect that the smoke will have. It that true or just bullshit? 😎👌

the reason most growers talk about amber trichromes is because its a forsure sign the rest of the plant is mature.
Every grower has their opinions. Even myself. But its proven that thc% is highest when the trichromes are milky.
So growers will wait until some of the plant (10 to 20%) is amber. This is the tipping point. You don't want to harvest late with a lot of amber. Or harvest to early with not enough milky..
My answer is no.its not good to have a lot of amber trichromes. Remember. Amber= degrading thc

70/30 cloudy amber. Check multiple buds, place microscope on sides of buds. I also don’t start checking until all the white hairs have changed color and receeded into buds. Of the 70+ strains I’ve grown most have finished between 10.5- 13 weeks. Also look for swollen calyx and notice when plant starts up taking less water.

Hi !
Klopt ergens wel.
De meeste gaan voor een combinatie van melkachtig met wat amberkleurig, omdat de wiet dan de hoogste potentie heeft en het geeft een stoned effect.
Er zijn er ook die oogsten met enkel melkachtige trichomen, dan krijg je een energieke en euforische high.
Hoe meer amberkleurig, hoe meer THC er eigenlijk word afgebroken en word omgezet naar CBN.
Dan krijg je dus medicinale wiet.
Smakelijk🌱

Problem: two girls one tent, 40x40, an Auto and a Photo, both ~30 days old. Poor decisions and bad planning got me into this How would you proceed?Are there good options w/o killing one so the other could properly grow? Is it a good idea if I flip the light from 18 to 12 only when the Auto is done? Or my friend suggested to gradually reduce the light hours over the next two weeks to less stun the Auto? Maybe better ideas?ty

How is she looking?Honest opinions please
I've not had much time to keep a proper diary on this one but I feel like I have almost cracked this strain. She was slow for a couple weeks after transplant but no real shock.
Now in mid flower
How does she look and what could I do better?

Temperature too High, Can’t bring down.This is my first indoor grow and I’m having problems keeping the temp down from the higher 80’s while I have my light on, and I’m just barely hitting 79 when it’s off. Starting to get concerned as my seeds are just beginning to sprout and i don’t want them to endure any stress.

Wet trim and get the kief?Is it worth it to pause the drying process and wet trim?
I am mostly asking this since I read it's easier to wet trim and I can hopefully extract some kief from the sugar leaves with a grinder in the process.
What are your thoughts, leave it as is, or get that kief?
