You’ll want to check if at least 10% of trichomes have an amber color and most are milky instead of clear to be sure. Typically the leaves will also get brown tips

Lots of Yellow Leaves-No Amber Trichomes
My 2 Sour Diesel autos are at the 11 week mark. I've flushed them for one week now and they are getting lots of yellow leaves and the trichomes are getting milky. However there is hardly a trace of any amber trichomes. Do I wait for the amber? Am I being impatient?

How much more time for this stunted growth?
Looking at photos, weeks, trichomes - some are milky some are transparent. The main cola has evolved, remaining colas are growing. The plant was stunted due to excess nutrition and PH earlier, that's why small plant. So how many days more till I chop?(30%ember?but still estimate)

First time grower - Partial Harvest
Hello brothers & sisters. First time grower... I've inspected trics all over, and as expected, they are more mature in certain areas. Was thinking of partially harvesting? Is it as simple as chopping the mature buds and leaving the rest for another 1-2weeks? Thanks

14th day of dry. Small bit of offcut bud reading 58% in 1 ounch grove bag overnight.
14th day of dry. Temp/RH have been around 60/60, but not getting snap from stems. Did trim yesterday and took a good deal of dry leaves by simply pulling gently / running the scissors over them. Would you cut and jar at this point or leave until stems are brittle?

Can I dry my plant for 30 days?
I'm about to harvest my plant, and I'm going on vacation for 30 days. Is it ok to dry for 30 days? I'm planning to hang the entire plant, in an environment at 20°C and 60% humidity, with no fans. What should I do before chopping down the plant to make sure it will dry ok?

Those of you that hang entire plants to dry… if you weigh the entire plant wet, what percentage loss in weight are you looking for before you buck the nugs and start curing?

I'm worried that the larger fan leaves are taking too much light from the bud sites and slowing development? Is it too early for lollypopping (is that the right term!)? If you watch my video it gives a better look.

Hi guys! Does anyone here has a technique for drying without a designated closet or tent space? I live in a studio, and don't have a traditional closet i could use. What options would you recommend? I saw there is one using just a paper bag? I'm scaptical about that though...

To Freeze Dry or Not to Freeze Dry? That is the question...
Someone recommended freeze drying my harvested nugs. I've done research on it to a degree. Have you tried freeze dry weed and does anyone recommend it for quality rugs to be smoked?
