Harvesting help - how much amber before darkness? Is she almost ready?
greengreeensstarted grow question 5y ago
How many amber trichomes do you aim for before 48hrs of darkness? 10%? This is my first grow and it’s almost the 10th week of flower (8-10wk estimate from breeder) and my sugar leaves are yellowing. Been flushing for almost 2 weeks. Is she close? Help is so appreciated!!

If you want your flowers to deliver an invigorating, slightly euphoric high, then you should harvest when 15–20% of the trichomes have turned to an amber color - this applies also to indicas - but if you're after a relaxing, narcotic effect that promotes sleep and helps you unwind, then wait until you have 80–100% amber trichomes before giving her 48 hours of darkness. Looking at the trichomes and those sugar leaves and add-in you've been flushing her for 2 weeks, I'd say it's time to chop her down my friend. Congrats on your first harvest in advance.

Probably still have some time left. If you've been flushing for almost 2 weeks, you really don't have a choice but to harvest within 4-5 days. 10% amber is for highest THC content, while 30%+ is for couchlock, munchie effects.

The answer depends on what you want. If you like a more psychoactive effect when you smoke, you're at the exact moment. But if you're looking for a more relaxing effect, you should wait until a higher percentage of the trichomes are amber.
If that were my plant, I would harvest right now.

I would say just another 4/5 days to let it mature just enough, then I would start cutting. Maybe you can just cut the upper buds and leave the lower ones for another 2/3 days ;) very beautiful, congrats! :)

Drying.Hi all!
I currently have 2 plants growing. 1 of them has clearly bloomed faster and I will have to harvest it earlier.
Because I have only one grow box and I don't know where to dry it. Can I put them somewhere for two weeks to wait for the 2nd one?
Could u tell me what to do?

Drying advice? Suggestions please! :)Hey, I'm going to be chopping these ladies in about 10-14 days. My grow is still running in the tent, so I have no drying area. My house is humid and damp. I have one closet which I could try. I'm just worried about mould! Suggestions are extremely appreciated!

Odd green smell during dryingDay 5 of dry and nugs are starting to crunch though stems dont crack yet.
I've lost the dank, unless touched, and it smells of what i'm guessing is clorophyll
How long does this last for or have I done something wrong?
Temp 19°c on average +-2°c and RH is 55% +-1%.
Thanks😎

Hey what happen if you don't flush?And if I flush days before harvesting, and then I just want to harvest partially, since I want the buds on the bottom to keep developing which I think she can do so cuz she's really going on very well.

How close do these look to ready? Video in diaryHow early did I cut these? I know they are at least on the early side of harvest ready if not a little bit before ready, but the top of the colas definitely have a good bit of amber trichomes and I was dealing with a heat issue effecting the top buds so I cut a few to test.
