Its my first time growing any strain, Royal Queen Seeds Critical, she sprouted 14 november and now it’s 28 february, im so confused when to harvest, i don’t want to harvest to early but not too late either. Any advise?
No. def not. First of all based on your diary she is in week 5 of flower, so you have at least 3 weeks to go. To be safe say 4 weeks from now and your good. Critical is a faster finisher but your still looking around 9 weeks in flower for a good harvest. If your room is perfect and you had a smooth run with no issues you can maybe get away with 8 weeks but any probs or less than perfect conditions extend flowering time so thats why im saying 9 weeks in total for flower should be good.
When she stops putting pistils out and they start to go from white to orange to brown, but most importantly check the trichomes that will indicate when to chop her.
Watch for them to change from clear to milky if you cut when they are mostly all milky you get the head high or let some turn amber and you will get the couch lock effect depending on how far you go. Maybe 15 to 25% amber
I use a USB microscope mate and it's brilliant for letting you see what's going on
By your diary , you're at week 5 flowering . RQS says the flowering is somewhere between 7 to 9 weeks . I'm harvesting mine at week 8 . having 1 critical that will go into 9 weeks flowering too >.>
So I would wait until end of week 8 and then decide .
