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.

How many days till harvest please? (It's close)Fine-tuning my timing, my 2nd harvest.
Looking for mostly Sativa effects but slight chill is ok to balance the acid-like high — 10-15% amber tx? 90% of pistils are orange/brown now. Feeding with 60-70% flowering mix, but only 50% N. Lens is Apexel 200X + iPhone, no affiliation

Yellow sugar leavesI am waiting for a low-THC strain to develop amber trichomes and I found two buds with these yellow sugar leaves. There is no bud rot, should I wait longer to harvest? Also, do CBD strains develop amber trichomes, or should I harvest now? Additional details available in growdiary

My plant has yellow pistils with her buds. So the buds are yellowing. What could this be? I use Biobizz nutrients and give it like the scheme says. My second plant receives the same amount of nutrients, and she's looking ok. Can you help please, what yellow buds does say? Thx.

Harvest Window - Close or still some timeI'm sitting at 78 days from sprout I haven't really checked trichromes until today. Pistils are mostly brown with some white ones here and there. Leaves are fading (end of life? but most definitely from mistakes I made in feeding not enough).is my window opening or already open

Would you stop feeding the plants with fertilizer at this point already? I think it will be fine for the Northern Lights and the Purple Queen but may be a little early for the Dance World. Little disadvantage with one common pot that I can only treat all plants the same way..
