Week eight of my outdoor Gorilla Zkittlez grow and plants look far from finished yet all trichomes look milky white and the odd amber on some sugar leaves. I feel that it’s still too early to harvest yet I’m not sure. Any suggestions would be appreciated Cheers

Hi @Peeman! You're very close to the finish line, trichomes speak for themselves: if they're already milky then they should start to turn amber within a few days. Just let the plant consume its old nutrients/salts, focus on sugars/molasses and consider a long flush if you fed her for months. If there are no signs of mold/mildew or any other threats, I would wait until a few ambers appear, and see if the plant do its scenescence, a beautiful fade would be a perfect way to end this run! Hope this makes sense, let me know in the comments section if you need any further information. Happy growing! 👊

In an outdoor grow you always got to look what is possible. I have to harvest most times earlier than i want to.. To prevent mold,,, thats the big risk in late blooming stage, one week of rain can kill your plant easily... so check your plants daily, and if you see first signs of mold... harvest them. Because moldering goes very fast and it makes no sense to cu away moldering parts.. the mold sits deeper and grows.. even in the curing time.... Iam a passionate outdoor grower, but as i mentioned in my area( northrn Europe) the strain you choose is very important. We can talk more per PN , because the text gets longer and longer. so keep an eye of your Girls ( daily) . P.s its a great thing that you gave the Girls on the wall aroof....!!! to me the Trainwreck look the closest to harvest.. and the other girls ar looking good too...... Ima whishing you and all outdoor growers 2 mor Weeks of warm and Dry weather....

Outdoor the plant tells you often when you should harvest by turning the leaves to yellow and of course by the trichomes. As said befor ignore the trichomes on bigger leaves and look at the bud trichomes. I would say you have two or three weeks to go. But harvest earlier if it gets too cold or you see first signs of mould.

I think the majority of the outdoor plants will want to come down in October, especially with your temps dipping into the 50s at night. I'd say 1-2 weeks more and they'll be ready to chop. Just watch for any freezing weather and if so either cover them or cut them. Good luck with the harvest and happy trimming. ✌️

She's looking good. I would say you likely have 2-3 more weeks, based on looks. I would ignore fan leaf trichomes (we don't aim to smoke the leaves), and try to make sure you focus on trichomes on the calyx. My guess is most would likely be milky, with maybe a couple clear, and maybe a couple amber, when focusing on the calyx.

Looking real nice mate 👍👌 and indoor 8 week strains will always take longer outdoors it's because outdoors the light decreases slowly about 1 minute a day so plants take longer to finish as opposed to switched straight to 12/12 for indoors.

You seem to be atleast a couple weeks off from harvest! When checking trichomes check the trichomes on the calyxs of the bud for ripeness not the sugar leaves. The sugar leaves will ripen faster most times and not give u an accurate idea of where ur at bud wise! Also look for the pistilis to not only be amber but to be retreating into the swollen calyxes. Urs are still standing straight out. A sign ur not done yet! Also watch for ur leaves to start fading displaying less green and more true harvest season colors! If u want a bit more info definitely hit me up! Happy growing fam.

Don't worry patience is the key for growing great bud. You still have a week or 2 left on her. Just keep checking trichomes. You want some amber about 5% to 10%. Just here in there but the rest all milky white. If you plan on flushing her now is the perfect time to flush if you haven't already.
