Harvest time?
OGgrowsanswered grow question 5 years ago
The most correct way to know if the plant is ready for harvest is to observe the trichomes with a loupe or microscope. The right time to harvest is when the trichomes in general are milky in color and one or other trichomes are amber in color. If you don’t have a magnifying glass, the second best way is the color of the pistils, you have to make a general assessment of the plant, the pistils must be 75% orange and 25% white and it is ready to harvest. if you pass these levels that I told you, the buds gave more high but lose quality in flavor, it's a matter of balance. in your case I would give them another 2/3 weeks to harvest. Good luck mate 👌🙏🍀

The bredder says : 49 - 55 so 7 to 8 weeks. You can harvest that week or next week BUT breeders are not really hoonnest and you can fairly add 1 or 2 weeks to what they are saying

@Injun420 Hi mate the best way to be perfectly sure when to harvest is to use a handheld jewellers type loupe or usb microscope
this is to ascertain the trichome readiness. with this particular strain from Barneys farm it is worthwile waiting until atleast 25% of the trichomes are amber
this is usually about the 8 to 9 week mark. So to answer your question rouhly 2 to 3 more weeks but as i said above its best to monitor the trichomes

hi, Breeder tells something between 8 and 9 Weeks of Flower. And thats my esamination too. All hairs are White, and as i can see the leaves are nice green .
Before Harvest your Plant will change, leaves will disclor, Pistils turn orange// Brown.....and trichomes get cloudy.
To Judge the trichomes get a jewelers loupe or a microscope to look at them
So stay Patient.. soon Harvest will come

First Hydroponics Experience - Is it ready to harvest?Hi fellow growers!
45 days into flowering, It's a bag seed, no idea what strain it is, had a sample, seems to be dominant sativa. It's uplifting, it doesn't couch lock you.
Can it be really ready considering it's only 45 days into flow? The sample was OK!Other. Harvest - Drying

Bubble Hash: Freeze vs. Dry/Cure?Half of these will be turned into bubble hash. When making yours after you harvest… do you freeze the buds immediately after chop then bag it out of freezer? Or dry/cure them first before bubble bagging? Why? What are the (dis) advantages of both? Thanks!3 years ago

Harvesting 1 out of 2 plants sharing the same reservoirI 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?3 years ago
