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?

How do you harvest in hydro (drip system with a tank) when some are late ?Half of the plants are late (chlorosis, iron toxicity, nitrogen overfd) on a scrog net. As individual flush is impossible, I guess I have no choice than having different batches of ambered trichomes ! And I thought about different strains next time, sweet dreams...4y ago

Ready to harvest?Should I harvest now based on these pics? Close up is from the top of a cola closest to the light. I see the amber, but I can’t figure out if the rest are cloudy or clear. Some of the pistils are still looking fresh so I think it needs more time.Week 17

How should I harvest?So we are 2 weeks out from harvest, but I’m wondering would it be more efficient to defoliate fan leaves and hang the plant upside down, or to cut it into multiple sections? At week 22 I believe in our diary we have more pictures.Other. Harvest - Drying

Ready for the chop? Day 59 of floweringDoes it still need more time? Hairs look 75-90%(depending on what cola you look at) orange and trichs look about right. Not sure if I'm seeing new pistols or their just kinda folding inwards. My preference is to harvest it for a nice balanced effect. Just a little couch lock.Buds. Other

CROSSBREEDING! This is a good one, as I have no clue! So this autoflower/female that im in final cure stages with from last grow has been giving me seeds(fCROSSPOLLINATION now the question is, despite my 12-24 hr removal of male plants from the grow room, it seems the female seeded 7 (so far) but still gave great harvest. Will the seeds be autofem/or will it be a gamble? Know a lil about breeding but def not enough for that? AnyoneWeek 11

Hey guys! I’m pretty sure this grapefruit haze auto is getting pretty close. Day 64 I think but it’s the first plant that’s gotten this far (males and screwy bagseed genetics 1st time) I read that I’m looking for mushroom shaped tricoms for optimal harvest. Any other tips?Week 9
