Are my ladies ready for harvest? (looking for potent THC crops)
Organomananswered grow question 3 years ago
If you want maximum THC, harvest when the plant has about 95% brown pistils and disregard trying to identify trichome colour.
I have been doing just this for 25+ years and am confident you won't be disappointed.
Once there are more than 95% brown pistils, the plant is on the verge of dying, meaning her metabolism slows considerably, meaning much THC will be breaking down into CBD and CBN, two cannabinoids that don't get you high, but do make you very relaxed/sedated.
Not all plants get amber trichomes anyway, so the "pistil colour method" is far more reliable in my experience.
Start a two week nutrient free period (flush) when the plant gets to about 90% brown pistils.
Hope this helps, Organoman.

pick up a 30-60x jeweler's loupe or currency checker etc.. can be as little as -.

check out answer there... ignore my comments about "their" trichomes' cloudiness. I just typed it up seconds ago... same info needed here.
First grow, so i'd pick what you think you'll like based on commonly said tidbits... amber = more couchlock etc.. But, in future, do try different points in the harvest window. You may not realize what you like best based only on descriptions of others. It's going to feel awkward until you do it a few times... at some point you may even stop using the loupe.
Either way, looks like a christmas tree.. i wouldn't worry about potency.

Looks ready to me. Its hard to tell with the zoom of the pictures(unable to clearly see the trichomes heads). Based on overall look I would say yes. Flush and harvest.
Happy Growing.

Does anyone have experience with colas that have been severely light deprived, yet still have trichs?My ghost nug grew up on the side of the tent blocked from light. She has trichs, looks super light yellow (see pics). My question is, wouldn't this be desirable? Less chlorophyll to wait on before smoking? Has anyone tried to maybe light deprive parts of their colas?

Two plants smell great, the other two have no smell.2 of my plants smell great, their genetic smells are starting to come through but the other 2 still smell like plant matter, could this be an issue maybe linked to my calmag deficiency? or Is this the development of new phenotypes for these strains?
thanks,
