Quick One: Ready to harvest?

Sejanus21
Sejanus21started grow question 5 months ago
Since it is my first harvest, I am unsure when to chop the plant off. It is the end of week 10 and according to the RQS website, Quick One is ready after 9 weeks. I am already seeing amber trichoms, but the buds are still fluffy and the plant is still green. What do you think?

Hey buddy! Give her only water during one week, and when you give her water, let it flow till the water clear. Autos donโ€™t need to be feed till the week before chopp, you can stop two or three weeks before. Your trichomes looks milky thatโ€™s good, but yeah, your buds donโ€™t look ready. Flush it during one week and thereโ€™s a lot of chances you see your buds become bigger. In this case, repeat this operation one more week

I definitely think you're ready to chop, the milky trycombs are a sure sign to harvest, if you're looking for a couch lock stone then the longer you let it set the more amber it will get and the heavier the body buzz, best of luck they're beautiful

If you could wait and have the time, I'd say 1 more week feeding and 1.5 wet soil, after that rinse and dry/thirst under LED light and after that give darkness and harvest when leaves die. You'd have the same yield but better potency ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ‘ nice chatting

Are the temps you listed for the weeks accurate? Decay on trichomes can be entirely seperate matter from the natural sensesence. Once the plant begins to produce trichomes, like all things they will start to decay, half life after half life, Optimal photosynthesis happens at a lst of 86 , this would obliterate and quickly decay and amber trichomes. Heat, light, all forms of energy accelerate/slow cycles to some degree. Terpene like myrecene starts to decay above 67. Senescence is the plants natural life death cycle, Try not only grow grow grow, think preservation, preservation.

Hello my friend. I can tell you that this quick one is not ready yet. Still got 2 or 3 weeks to go. The most precise way to tell if a plant is ready for harvest is to look at the trichomes with a pocket microscope. You can google it to check for yourself how this should be done. The second best indicator are the hairs. You want around 80% brown before you harvest.

Typicly when mesaureing ripness or readyness for cannabis you use a few factors. The main one being trichomes colour on the buds, not so much the leaves, you want milky as your indicator to know its ready, when amber ones start to form it is degrading some of that THC into other things like CBN, and if they are clear it means there is some THC in the trichomes just not as much as the milky ones. Other things to look for is if the plant has lots of pistils and if they are drying up. as well as the fade of the plant, are the leaves tarting to look dull and changing colours. Not all autos follow the timeline outlines by their breeders as autos can be a bit off at times. I would let this plant go a bit longer and check back in a week or two, Good Luck!

If ur not under pressure, I would wait 2 maybe 3 weeks. Im keeping autos at least 8 weeks of flowering to let buds grow, so harvest gives better yield. Once u start flushing (if u do), leaves become yellowing. Otherwise, its not that obviously. RQS gives good advices. But the reality can be slightly other than presented by seed brands. In my opinion, its better to wait longer and get "stronger" stuff. Of course other users have their own preferences.
