Best time to harvest?
Msweedsterstarted grow question 3y ago
When do you know your plants are ready to harvest? My first grows are almost at their 12th week mark since germination. I want to make sure I harvest when it optimum time. Thanks!

2 plants pictured look quite a bit different. so one may get done before the other. The first one has less plump and moer white pistils, i think. this one has longer.
You don't have to get the scope out yet... when it looks like bud you'd smoke, stat scoping trichomes.
if you haven't, drop N a bit as leaves in sencond pic are a bit glossy. prolly need to drop Mg a bit along with N assuming enough was given before.

Sorpresa en la cosecha¿Qué podría ser esto? Estaba manipulando esta belleza cuando encontré esta especie de huevos en un cogollo. Tengo otras plantas en diferentes fases en el mismo cultivo de exterior donde estaba esta. ¿Alguna pista? ¿Debería tener cuidado con el resto del cultivo de alguna manera?Buds. Other

Curing- and wondering when buds will smell like buds againSo this is my first cure- I dried 1 plant so far. The room went from smelling like bud to hay. I understand this is normal. I am on day 2 of curing. When does the bud start to smell like real pot again? Miss that smell?Buds. Other

Starting to get some bud rot on 2 of my girls. Have controlled it so far. But worried that i will lose the whole plant. Not sure if they are far enough along to harvest, but cant risk losing the whole plant. Any advice would be great. Most of the trichromes are milky on both.Buds. Other

Earliest possible harvest?How long do you reckon these are going to take? I am talking harves on the early side. Most buds look like this, only the main cola is taking longer. At this moment about 25% pistils are curled and trichomes seem rather milky. First grow, no experience here. Will they get bigger?Buds. Not fattening

trim auto for compact grow (space bucket)I want to focus on a few colas when growing this compact, 5gal bucket is max width. Should I leave the 4 or 5 fittest and trim the lower branches off entirely or just let the taller dominate and avoid stressing this auto (space is the obvious issue here)? 🙏thanks community.6y ago

ReplyJust from what I've seen on other zkittles diarys they seem to be abit further along at this point than my one that's all ... I have grown normal photoperiod plants before,.. main reason for trying autos is the time difference that's all, thanks for reply 👍Week 7

Trichome Advice--Cloudy enough to stop giving nutes??I'm trying to figure out when I should stop giving nutes. I've read 1-2 weeks before harvest when the trichomes turn Amber. My question is: Based on these trichomes, when would you stop giving nutes? Do they look cloudy enough to stop now? Or should I wait until I see amber?5y ago

When to harvest? and general opinion on the buds :)I have two automatic gorilla cookie flowers. One of them is more advanced in terms of the flowering stage and I'm not sure when I should cut it.
It is currently about three weeks in bloom but I do not have a microscope to check the trichomes. I will only have it in two weeks.Buds. Other
