ProfDoty
started grow question 6y ago
How do I know when to harvest? Is it when the trichomes are 10 percent amber on the main cola or 10 Percent amber for the whole plant?

Timing a 7d flush — will it over-ripen if I begin flushing when it's ready for harvest and keep it for 1 more week on flush juice?
Need advice on timing a 7d flush. My 2nd grow, both (Sativas) flowered signif. longer than advertised (+2-4 weeks). To know when to start flushing, do you visually estimate when a plant is no more t 1wk from harvest? If I start flush when it's ripe for harv, too late or ok?

Can I dry my plant for 30 days?
I'm about to harvest my plant, and I'm going on vacation for 30 days. Is it ok to dry for 30 days? I'm planning to hang the entire plant, in an environment at 20°C and 60% humidity, with no fans. What should I do before chopping down the plant to make sure it will dry ok?

No airflow for drying
Im drying here in the box as i cant use the grow tent yet. Is it an issue that there is no airflow? I haven’t had any issues with mould or anything. The average temp is 22 celcius and 55% humidity in the box.

Harvesting 1 out of 2 plants sharing the same reservoir
I will need to harvest the purple much sooner than the widow. Two questions: 1) Can I dry the purple in my tent that the widow is still growing in, meaning it will not be drying in the dark? 2) Can I flush the purple with fresh water for a week or more without hurting the widow?

Der richtige Zeitpunkt zum Fermentieren
When is the right time to cure (ferment) it? I dried 2 small buds for 7 days and then put them in a jar at 62%. On the 2nd day when burping, it smells a bit like hay. Is that normal? How do I determine the time for cut buds?

Why did the smell almost disappear?
buds are drying and have been hanging for about 4 days. They still have awhile to go. But I noticed they have a hay/chlorophyll type smell and the bud smell is pretty much gone... will it come back during the curing or did I fuck up some how? Its been 65⁰-72⁰ Humidity 40-50%

Different Ripening Speeds
These two plants were planted and germinated at the same time. The Kush XL (larger one) looks like it’s going to take a few weeks longer than the Critical Purple. What are the chances they can be harvested together?

Harvest?
When will this be ready for chop. I’m having a hard time getting a good look at the trichomes. I know the goal is 30% amber. One plant has very few white hairs and one has quite a few can I wait for the others to come to full maturity too. I plan on using same tent to hang dry.
