HARVEST OR WAIT?

PREPPYPUNKstarted grow question 4 years ago

HARVEST OR WAIT? LAST HARVEST I WAITED FOR AMBER TRICHOMES AND THEY NEVER SEEMED TO SHOW UP. I LEFT IT TOO LONG AND ALL THE TERPENES FADED AWAY. THESE ARE ALL MILKY WHITE, THERE ARE SOME AMBERS BUT LIKE NOT MANY. I SHOULD BE JUST FINE HARVESTING IN NEXT 1-2 WEEKS?

As long as at least 90% are milky or amber then you are in the harvest window. The loss of terpenes in your last grow could have been the result of overfeeding towards the end when their need for nutrients dropped significantly. Looks like harvesting in 1-2 weeks would be fine.

as the plant hangs to dry the trichs keep aging so if you have 5 % amber now you could have 10 to 15% when your done curing so if your stressed I would just say F it and chop it now.

Sometimes ambers are hard to see under certain lights btw, so you might just be missing them. I bought this microscope and am really happy I did. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MJ6826G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_QLsxQ2SV1HhnC

Burnt buds? Or just normal development?Orang tips on calyxes? Seems a bit soon. Not all over the plant. Only some bud tips at this point. A few chewed leaves but no signs of bugs that I can find. Some signs of the claw suggest too much nitrogen? Dialing the nutrients to half power. Any ideas or suggestions welcomed!

Buds maturing differently.One of my Cola is maturing a lot faster than the others. It's hairs have faded to d brown but buds still swelling. Trichomes clear not cloudy. I'm worried it may hermie and I have other plants in Bloom just earlier stage. Should I consider cutting the one off or would it stress?

Plant development erratic. How to harvest.My plant seems to be developing at different rates on different parts of plant. Half the tops seem ready for harvest. Amber trichromes starting to show up. Other areas still white undeveloped buds. Should I till things even out or harvest now. Or harvest in chunks.

Will Saturday be too late to harvest?I planned on harvesting this plant on Saturday(2/15)... this is my first grow. Most trichomes appear cloudy to me and I also see quite a bit of amber and purple, a few clear. The purple looks almost clear upon first glance. Is Saturday too late? Pls ignore cat hair in pic 😅

The bud site towards the lower middle of the plant. Should I get rid of them if they aren't keeping up with the taller buds or should I leave them to see if they catch up? I have upto 8-10 nodes per stem due to LST training

Underdeveloped Trichomes Trichomes on #2 are underdeveloped. Do you guys reckon it would help buying a UVB lamp (10 rating) 26 watt and adding those to both growrooms to compensate for the LED's lack of UV lighting? Maybe some Molasses in the feeding (never used it before) ?

Strange/shitty smelling bud Has anyone experienced their bud smelling like poop? The plant has always had an awful, shit (literally) smell, and after drying, and now curing for a few days, it still smells like shit. Almost smells like burnt, plant, and crap.Very odd, I don't think it's mold either.
