All trichomes are white, Can you lose terps by waiting too long to harvest? End of hard grow and want bigger buds.
PREPPYPUNKstarted grow question 3 years ago
Am i safe to wait as long as it takes for some brown trichomes or does that not always happen? Right now, 99% white triches, what am i waiting for? Can this grow get any better at this point? Can you loose terpines by harvesting too l;ate? Can they get bigger?

The moment they start turning amber is when peak levels are on a decline. You will just loose a bit of potency pulling to late but also gain in aroma ripeness. Sounds like you’re ready to harvest. Enjoy

If it is all white get it chopped, most potent time. Amber is when THC degrades, you wont lose terpene profile if you harvest soon, for sure but you will lose kicking power if you wait for it to all go amber

If you like the head high like a good sativa then harvest now and enjoy it. If you want some sedation effects with flavor and aroma then let her get nice and ripe. I personally favor a 70-30 ratio to 80-20

Harvest Now??Hi, I'm nearing the end of cultivation and would like opinions if I should harvest now or wait until Monday? Some buds are more mature than the top ones.
Or is it better to harvest one now and one in 1 week?

Start flushing for harvest?Should I start flushing based off the few amber trichomes speckled throughout and the amount of orange hairs? Pictured is a tiny section, theres about 20 on the whole leaf. I wanted a couple more weeks of flower but seeing those amber trichomes has me rethinking.Week 9

Harvest or not?Hi, another harvest question! 12the week of growth.
Some buds have, say 10% amber trichomes, others all milky.
I'm keen to get the plant out of the grow tent as it is blocking the better yielding plant.
Should I harvest or wait a little longer?Week 12

Are there male flowers on my plant?I'm afraid that the Z and Z could be a hermie but I'm not 100 % sure yet. I posted a picture of what possibly could be a male pollensack. Maybe some experienced growers can help my out to find out if it is really a male flower?Week 6
