It depends. If you want a more energizing effect, harvest now. If you want a more physical effect, wait until 50-75% brown

It sounds as if you're in the perfect spot to harvest NOW - you want to see about 10-20% amber!! ... if you wait longer, the THC content will start to degrade... CHOP! Good luck!

Harvest waste?
Hi gang! I've chopped my plants and they're hanging in the tent drying out for approx. 5 more days. The lower branch buds are small and underdeveloped. What do you find is the best use for these? Surely they aren't worth curing and smoking? Is there a use for the trim also?

I was in week 2 flower when my timer reset to 24/7. I didn't get it corrected until 6 days later. How will this affect my grow? The flowers seem to be behind by a couple of weeks but flowers are starting to form. Should I continue to flower longer than normal? Feminized, not auto

To flush or not to flush? That is the question.
Iโm chopping in about a week. Whatโs the latest science on flushing?

Royal Flush
๐๐ You guys are great! Next question: So I've only used tap water, will flushing with distilled water make any difference since I didn't use it through the grow? Also when/why would one use a flushing agent and is it beneficial to the plant?? Thank you guys in advance :)

I know breeders timeline for seeds is unrealistic, but this plant has gone two weeks past expections for seed. Not that I'm rushing it, but does she look ready? I'm only curious so I can have room in my tent for the next two for my perpetual setup. Thanks in advance! ๐

Not complete darkness during drying ok?
I will cut my plants tomorrow, hang them in my room and leave for 2 weeks to travel. How important is complete darkness during drying? The room (45rh, 22degrees) has heavy curtains, but some soft light is shining through, so Iโm thinking to nail a blanket to cover the window.

Besides the help I've been getting from you guys I've been comparing my trichomes to this image.... Is it accurate? ๐ค How long would it take for the second image to mature to the third image and is it worth the wait? ๐ค And that would also depend on the strain as well I bet ๐ง

How long lasts drying?
How long is average curing? I keep reading different things. Somewhere between 5-14 days. Can I leave mine drying for 14 days while I am away? It's either that or dry it within a week and than put it in jars for 14 days. I have no one to mind them while I'm away. Thanks guys!
