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.

Are these nanners developing?Can anyone identify if this is the early stages of nanners? The bright, lush green growth at middle top of picture is what concerns me in particular. I will likely chop tomorrow or the day after - but want to develop an eye for identifying nanners ASAP.

Trichomes don’t matureI’m flushing slowly, has been almost two week now. Just water with PH between 6.5 and 6.8. The plant seems ready, pistils are brown for 70%, yellow leaves are dropping off, but I don’t get why trichomes are still transparent, they aged slowly compared to the rest. Is it normal?

Main versus secondary maturingThis secondary lower buds seem to be maturing faster than the main colas. The pistils are turning dark faster on the lower than the upper. Not by much, but it's noticeable. Maybe a week or so? BUT, should I take the secondary buds first and leave the main colas to mature more?

These have been grown in 91 degree heat for their entire time growing. I can't change that the heat killed off some trichomes. But what is your opinion on the doneness of the trichomes that are there? If the pics are not clear enough I can use my real camera versus my phone. THX
