Ripe or not, ready for harvest?
Celticweedstarted grow question 5y ago
Hi growers, what do you think about the maturity, ripe enough? I think it is around 50% brown. Therefore probably a few more days!?
Thanks for your answers or comments.

The leaves are dark green probably from too much nitrogen.
For ripeness, it looks like you have at least 4 weeks left. You want 90% of the hairs to turn at a minimum. You're better off going by trichomes though (30% amber to 70% milky is the way).
Good news is that your buds should get around 50% bigger in the upcoming weeks.

I see that the leaves are also dark green, however are the leave an indicator of ripeness with auto plants?

Auto flower seeking advise in when to harvestHi I’m new to this and seeking your advise. My auto flower seems to be “close” to ready but my concern is that the tricomes close to the light ( 50 cm ) are mostly amber coloured but the lower parts still seems to be growing and the tricomes are mostly still white.Buds.

Should I wait or harvestShe looks done to me. Trichomes are white pistols orange.. She is at 54 days., consensus is 66 days or so... I know it’s a hybrid but I’d rather the sativa side before the indica kicks in.. Should I harvest or will this things produce more white before orange? Its bursting nowWeek 17

Are these ladies ready for harvest? (2 wks beyond recommendation)Should I harvest now or wait a week? Think Different Sativa is 11 wks to harvest and I am at wk 13. Still seeing new buds/pistils and straight white pistils. Around 40-50% brown hairs and cloudy trichomes but no amber. Using Coco/Perlite in 4 gallon autopot. 76F/47%RH. No flush.5y ago

outdoor auto bloomingMy autoflowering Purple queen is almost ready for harvest, I don't know if I should keep her under hot direct sunlight for the last week before cutting as I know it damages the THC. Temp here reaches 32°C and I am afraid to damage the final product with too much sunlight .Other. Harvest - Curing
